Response Question SECTION 2- pages 55-97

Think about the initial presentation Sam, George, and Rameck hear about the program at Seton Hall. What are some of the program's requirements? Have you ever heard of programs like that? Would you ever consider being a part of such a program?

    Umm, Well, the college Sam, George, and Rameck heard was basically an easy way to get a college expirence. I've never really read anything about colleges yet, i'm waiting for junior year or senior year. Yeah probably, only if i don't get a scholarship in others. It can just be like a backup. :)

    The program at Seton Hall was created to make higher education accessible for poor students. George's interest in dentistry, he convinced the others to apply to Seton Hall. I heard of a lot of programs like that, like The HOPE Program. I would consider myself being part of The Hope Program because it a essay way to enter college and they help you pay for how long you would spend in college.

    The requirement for the program that Rameck, Sam and George heard about in the library was they their need high school academic records , teacher recommmendations, and personal interviews and SAT scores were considered I heard of several other programs like that for example PITT and job corp. I wouldn't join these programs because i plan on going to college or an university but i think that these programs are important for other people want to farther their education.

    The "Seton Hall Program" seems to be an opportunity of a lifetime! I haven't researched on such opportunities yet, but I plan to. I want to get in the medical bussiness and if I saw a chance like that I would totally grab it! I mean, you're getting this for FREE! This isn't something you see every day! Like in the book, I believe it is necessary to have more doctors in urban areas.

    Some of the requirements of the programs are based on high-school academic records, teacher recommendations, and personal interviews. Sometimes SAT scores are considered. I haven't heard of programs in which college expenses were free besides getting a scholarship. I would consider being part of a programm like this i am benefiting alot. Thats a great deal getting to go to college for free and all I have to do is get good grades.

    The requirements needed were high school academic records, teacher recommendations, personal interviews and SAT's were considered. I have heard of many programs like this and i think that later on in life if one was to pop up again i would take that opportunity and apply so i would have a better chance of going to the next level of higher learning.

    When George, Sam, and Rameck went to Seton Hall's presentation they went because they were all interested in going to college and figured that the presentation would be helpful for them.Although they all had interest in college the presentation didn't inetrest Sam and Rameck the way it did George. They all had different ideas about what colleges they wanted to attend as well as career paths. But George had alway been intrigued by the medical field so the presentation got his attention. George eventually was able to convince Rameck and Sam to follow his lead and apply To Seton hall and fortuanatly they did.

    The presentation Sam, George, and Remeck hear about the program at Seton hall, caught their attention. The recruiter said the program was designed to make higher education possible for students that could not afford college. But have the ability to succeed in college. Some may be eliminated durining the normal admission process. The program also accept's students based on high-school academic's,records, teacher recommendations, and interviews. SAT scores may or not matter in the normal admission process. I've really never heard these types of programs. I'm glad they are out there for me and other students. I hope to go to college and be in some type of program to help me and my future.

    The Seton hall program is for the minority who wants to get a higher education for nothing. Some of the Requirements to get in are a teacher’s recommendations, Interviews, and academic records. No I have not heard anything about these kinds of programs. I don't know if I would go to one of those schools because, I don’t no if I would want to be a doctor.

    The program Sam,George,and Rameck were listening to was a Pre-medical\Pre-Dental Plus Program. It was created under the Educational Opportunity Program created at Seton Hall in 1968. The programs's requirements were adequate high school academic records , Teacher recommendations, and one-on-one interviews. The program provided free training and support and counseling for more minority students. I have never really heard of such a program. I would consider joining because I think it would be a good opportunity to do good in life. I also think it would be great that other minority students, and I would help with the advancement with minorities in the medical field.

The program accepts students based on there records,teacher recommendations,personal interviews,and there academic records.I have never heard of a program like this.

    The Seton Hall Program was Pre-medical\Pre-Dental Plus Program. It is a good program because they don't have to pay they just need to get good grades. The recommendations were getting good grades, teacher recommendations, and to do an interview. I never heard of a program like that. I would actually like to be in programs like that because i am very interested in the medical field. The program is also free and is a good opportunity.

    I think the Seton Hall Program was a great Pre-medical\Pre-Dental Plus program. I really like the idea of having this free opportunity, especially to someone who has a dream in becoming something big and never gets the chance to do it. The requirements in getting into these programs are having a good interview, getting good grades, and by having good support by teachers. I would love to get an opportunity like this and reach my goals, but unfortunately I haven’t just yet.

    The Seton Hall program that Sam, George, and Rameck were listening to was for poor students who have the ability to succeed and make a higher education more possible. The program funds several specialized programs that make the money for tuition, housing, counseling, tutoring, and assessment testing. The program requirements are based on high-school academic records, teacher recommendations, and personal interviews. I have never heard of a program like that but just like George said,"I had no real plan. I knew I was going to college. That was it". If I was in his situation I would want to be part of the program because of how much it helps you.

    Seton Hall is a program for students and minority to get higher education for free. This program requires the student to have high grades. The Seton Hall program to me is a very good program because some of the people in this economy can't afford to pay for college tuition. I for one would consider this program to be a success for low class and middle class people of the united States. Many opportunities are in this program.

Acceptance into the program are based on having good highschool grades,recommendations from any teachers, and or interviews. I havn't heard of any programs like this but im sure there are some out there. I would definitely consider going into a program like this one simply because I would be getting a college education without spending thousands of dollars for books etc.

    Although Sam and Rameck were not paying attention to the recruiter from Seton Hall, George started to tune in when he heard about the Pre-Medical/Pre-Dental Plus Program. The program accepts students based on high-school academic records, teacher recommendations, personal interviews, and SAT scores. This program revived George’s dream that sat idle for a while, this dream came back alive, allowing him to go to college for free, perusing his dream of becoming a dentist in Newmark. I know that there are many available programs out there that are similar to the one at Seton Hall. As Orison Marden said, “Weak men wait for opportunities; strong men make them.” Opportunities are everywhere, you just have to seize them; I would consider going to a program mainly because it’s FREE.

    The presentation that Rameck, Sam, and George heard in the library is about the Pre-Medical/Pre-Dental Plus program created at Seton Hall in the year 1968. This is an amazing oppurtunity to possibly turn poor students who have the capability to succeed in college into doctors. Incredible benefits from this program such as free tuturing and free college is unbelievable to me but it's a real program! The requirements needed to join the program is based on one-on-one interviews, academic records from high school, SAT scores, and teacher recommendations. Unfortunately, some students will be eliminated during the normal college-admissions process. Honestly, i have never heard such a program before in my life but i plan to search for a program similar to that in the future hopefully. Of course i would consider being a part of this program because its free! Who would turn this oppurtunity down if he/she would want to major in the medical department. In the future, i hope to become a family doctor.

    The program Rameck, Sam and George heard about is a program for poor student who wanted an opportunity to get a better education. The program had many specific requirements like teacher recommendations, good SAT scores, good high school averages for all their subjects, and last a personal interview. I never heard of programs like this, but i did hear of programs that are similar to it. I've heard of programs where they give good advice to all students on how to get a chance to get a scholarship for college.

    The program that Sam, George, and Rameck heard about in the library is a once in a life time opportunity. It gives people of all races a chance to achieve anything they want to. Some of the requirements are that they must not perform poorly in their classes and in what they’re shooting for. Programs like that look at people academically. They choose their students based on their performance in class. No, I’ve never heard of any programs like that. I haven’t gotten then chance to do my research on colleges and how they do their acceptance programs. I would attend a program like that, because of the hard work you have to do. In the end, I would be proud f all the work I put in.

    Although the exact and precise requirements, in numerical academic form, of the program is not listed clearly, it states that, "The program accepts students based on high-school academic records, teacher's recommendations, and personal interviews. SAT scores are considered, but they matter less than in the normal admissions process." And no, I have not heard of such a program. Although, if I were presented with such an offer, I would seriously consider the proposal.

    The Pre-Medical/Pre-Dental Plus Program was created at Seton Hall in 1968. In order to be affirmed into the program, one must have strong academic prowess, exceptional teacher recommendations, and a first-rate personal interview. In addition, SAT scores are also taken into account, despite not being as much of a factor as in conventional admission processes. I have heard of such programs in the Philadelphia area. I do plan on attending a program at Pennsylvania Hospital this summer; one similar to our Career Development Internship. I believe these programs enable the youth of today for the “real” world once finished with college. Better preparation now will allow you to have the upper hand on the competition later.

    I'm pretty sure that the requirements for Sam, Rameck, and George to get into the Seton Hall program required good grades. But I've never heard of a program that all you had to do was to get interviewed by the counselors, and then they will decide if you get into the program or not. Even though the program seems too easy to get in, I would still consider having a program like that because it gives you a heads-up to the next four years in college.

Seton Hall was committed to training many students to enter medicine as doctors through many programs that provided free tutoring counseling and other stuff. I have not heard about any program like this before, at least not yet but if I did, I will be the first person on the list eager to take that opportunity.

    The Seton Hall is a college which allows students with disadvantage of money(as Angela said), because it's free tuition and free tutoring for pre-med. the requirements, just as other colleges, they look at your SATs, recommendations from teachers and academic records. I've heard of a program like that but it was for a highschool instead of a college. 2/3 of the requirements are the same, of course, the SATs are not included considering it's a highschool. It is the best opportunity anyone can every recieve. Rameck, Sam, and George is extremely lucky to be introduced to an opportunity to change their lives with the neighborhood they're living in.

    The Educational Opportunity Program mention in The Pact is based upon high-school academic records, teacher recommendations, and personal interviews. SAT scores are taken into account, even though they are not as imperative as the requirements previously mentioned. I am familiar with these types of programs. However, I have never actually considered becoming involved in such a program.
