Hello! My name is Amanda, and I am a freshman at the University of Maryland at College Park studying data science. I was ecstatic to be accepted to my top choice universities last year with several merit scholarship offers, and I decided that the UMD Banneker/Key Program was an ideal fit for me! I am happy to share insight about creating a compelling narrative that will help you stand out in college and scholarship applications.
