Been seeing many posts on here consisting of anxious parents and kids that are hopeless. I was one of you a few years ago but actually ended up winning the 4 year Scholarship in April.
Here were my stats.
Unweighted GPA: 3.00
ACT: 26
SAT: 1820
Took six AP Classes.
Ran track and Played football didn't letter in Varsity.
Only in one club- Academic Bowl
Moral violation: Got suspended for a day my freshman year for fighting .
My GPA and my other activities were not high, I was not expecting to get any sort of scholarship. I initially one the Ike Scholarship which would mean that I would go to a two year Military School, I didn't want to do this so rejected the offer. At that point, I lost hope for winning any sort of scholarship. It wasn't until April that I found out that I was selected for the 4 Year! Do not lose hope, sometimes good news comes at the most unexpected times!
Note: It's also never too late to improve, I have a 3.7 in college now!!
