Wednesday February 15th. They came from near and far to interview to be a member of the Chicago cohort of the Ivy League Connection. Dozens of applicants sent in their essays to join with their test scores and transcripts. Eight were invited to be interviewed and four were selected.
It normally takes the interview panel about 15 minutes to review the applications and make their selection but on this night the process took nearly 50 minutes. It wasn't that the panelists didn't know what they were doing or couldn't work together. The problem was that the eight interviewees were so close that it was the subtlest of distinctions that separated them.
When all was said and done, the newest recipients of IvyLeague Connection scholarships are:
Jahnvi Doshi ~ 11 ~ Hercules HS
Lindsay Long ~ 11 ~ Middle College HS
Raqeeb Chang ~ 11 ~ El Cerrito HS
Cecilia Chak ~ 10 ~ Pinole Valley HS
