Dear Readers:
I think my life experience is what qualifies me to write this column. I made every mistake imaginable. But have learned from them. Most important I still remember what it was like to be 12, 13, 14, 15, and so on. Currently I am a single mom, I have two wonderful boys. One in college. We are all happy emotionally. We love life, and know that you can too. I try to be the kind of parent that understands. I know that I can help you to understand where you parents are coming from, and help you get over the difficulties of being young. You can even have your parents write to me and I will help them to get over their fears and at least respect you and your feelings. I have been married and divorced twice, so I have experience in that field also. But now I own my own home, and my own business and am successful. Lots of luck to you! Hope to hear from you.

so i received a "premier application" through the mail from hawaii pacific university. it said i could get the application fee waived, i don't have to write a personal statement, and i don't need recommendations. this seems like the best situation ever, so is it legit? and since its called a premier application, does that mean I'm applying early action? early decision? if its early decision i don't want to do it so any help I'd LOVE. thank you thank you thank you!
it also says send in by december 1st and you'll get your decision by december 31st (link)

Colleges will do anything to get students to apply. Especially good students. How did they get your info. Are you registered with some societies? Like the Honor society? It could very well be legit. And a free appliation! That's great because private colleges charged $60.00 for an application in the past. It has probably gone up since then. Does the whole think look legitimate? Don't give them your personal private information. (just in case they are phonies) If they ask for SS#, just give them the last four digits. Is there a reason why you wouldn't have personal recommendations available if you need them. Because they may decide after they get your premier application, that they want them afterall. If you are already involved in say sports and school activities BIG TIME. Then they may consider you the kind of student they are looking for, so they have waived the requirements for you . If so, then congratulations, you have worked hard to qualify for such a priviledge. But don't stop there, go on line and check them out, I am sure that they have a web page.
Good luck to you.
Michele
