Free Admission Into Disney, Is It True?
We got tickets to be a part of the taping of the Disney ABC parade. Right on the website it says “Be part of the magic! Be part of a TV-show taping, on December 4, 2009. Watch your favorite Disney Characters and Guest Stars perform on Main Street USA and enjoy free parking and admission to Magic Kingdom® Park”. A few of my friends questioned if it was really free so they called guest relations and was told that after the taping we would be directed to leave the park. Others called and was told they knew nothing about it. Others were told they were still working out the details. So, what is REALLY going to happen??
Chances Of Getting Into An Ivy League School (with Additional Details From The First Question Like It)?
I know there isn’t a magic formula for getting into a top tier school but pretend your the admissions officer. Any help would be appreciated.
Academic standing-
Gpa is a 3.9
Weighed Gpa is a 4.0
I have straight A’s throughout high school. However I received 1 b+, which brought my GPA down.
I don’t have my results from my ACT yet but it will be in the range from 25 to 30. I don’t think I will get anywhere higher than 30 or lower than 25.
I am in National Honors Society. I am the president of my class. I have over 300 hours of volunteer service in my community. I am a varsity attorney for mock trial. I am on the varsity dance team at my high school. I believe I’m going to get captain for my senior year.
These are my “hooks” or things that make me stand out.
I am involved in national and statewide youth boards. I have spoken at national youth conferences and hosted workshops at conferences in my state. I do a lot of advocating for youth voice and empowerment.
I am the South West Youth Representative for the MN Youth Council.
I have some EXTREME special circumstances:
My mother came from East Africa with my father. My dad left my family when I was young and so my mother worked overtime at a meat packing plant to compensate for 5 children as a single mother. My mom had a horrible accident at the plant she was working at and now suffers from chronic back problems. She can no longer work and my family has relied heavily on government aid.
My mother is a hardworking person and enjoys being self-reliant so being stopped from working has led her to have severe depression. I pretty much raised myself and took care of my family from a young age.
My family is way below the poverty line and my siblings and I took the initiative to work as early as we could to help pay bills.
I know my story is disheartening but that’s what you call the “American Dream” right. HA, anyways I hope this can get me an Ivy League education.
I am not the typical applicant, I had to mature from an early age and I hope I can reflect all of my achievements through my personal statement.
I know this is long, thanks for taking the time to read- I will award best answer.
Additional details
k thanks for the responses- I was recently invited to a private conference at Stanford university with an all expense paid trip. The dean, and admissions officers told me I should emphasize my special circumstances; especially because small portions of Ivy League applicants are low income.
I also forgot to mention I recently won a national essay contest and had the opportunity to attend the National Republican Convention and meet influential members in the Republican Party.
Addressing the AP comment- my school allows a limited amount of ap classes per year. Also they do not allow you to take Ap in freshman year therefore minor difference in my gpa.
k tell me if that helps any and thanks for the honest opinions.

Why Do You Think That Being A ‘good Person’ Will Get You Into Heaven?
do any of you actually think you are a good person? how many of you have honestly NEVER sinned? none of you. God expects perfection in order to enter heaven, and none of us are perfect.
God said
“But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars—their place will be in the fiery lake of burning sulfur”. Rev 21:8
We all deserve death. So, why do some of you think that good woks can earn you a ticket to heaven.
Jesus is the only way to heaven.
“Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me”
John 14:6
He took the punishment that we deserved, and if we believe in Him, we go to heaven.
“I tell you the truth, he who believes has everlasting life”
John 6:47
Atheists: We already know you don’t believe in heaven, so please don’t waste your time, or mine by answering.

He was a bit worry about it so the genie said the spell would last a week. You would change back at the end of the week.

Can you feel/see/hear/taste/smell? ….. These thoughts and others continued to pop into and out of your friend’s mind until he finally knew what he had to do he had to keep the Jacket safe for your sake and the only way to be sure of that to keep the jacket on his person at all times. With that conclusion firmly set in his mind your friend walked over and carefully fixed the jacket off the ground and looked it over. “Wow”, he said, “You look great as a varsity jacket. I need to wear you though so it would much easier to make sure you don’t get lost or damaged. He puts you on and then you say hello to him. You then know now you could talk to whoever is wearing you. You will have to go to school with him as a jacket but tonight your friend is bringing you to a party.
