The author of Something Clever is a female high school student from Seattle, Washington who has been accepted at Boston University. She just found out that she's been asked to apply for the school's Trustee Scholar program that would qualify her for full tuition and room and board for all four years.

Something Clever from Seattle, Washigton has not even completed an application yet for Boston University. She has visited and had a great time, but at this time has made no decisions. She is a theatre student currently, however entirely capable of nuclear science or whatever field she chooses. Just felt the need to clarify.
