Damn.
I was so excited until it said 'matriculating high school students.' I don't graduate till 2010.
*makes rude noise at The Nation*
Good luck to everyone who enters, though!
that means that if you are a registered high school student (even if you arent graduating this year), you are eligible! so if you are a junior in hs (which is what i have gathered) you can go for it! good luck!
wow. ok.
I'm usually not that dense. Or bad with words.
But you made me very happy by writing that. Rereading the eligibility, I smacked myself.
