Hey all! Just wanted to make a thread for those who received a scholarship to celebrate and post their qualifications (if you are comfortable doing that) I am curious as to how selective this year will be.
I'll start off
4 year type 7 winner
GPA: 3.71 unweighted
ACT: 27
PFA: 10:45 1.5 mile, 47 push ups, 49 sit ups
Interview: I don't know what it's out of, but I was told it was a 100%
Extra Curricular
Volunteer work - Angels for Animals (11th), Rescue mission (10th, 11th), Tutoring (10th, 11th)
Football (9th, 10th, 11th) - Capt.
Soccer (9th, 10th)
Track (9th, 10th, 11th) - Letterman
Computer Science Club (11th) - Founder and President
Interact Club (10th, 11th) - Vice President
Key Club (10th. 11th)
National Honors Society (11th)
Robotics Team (10th, 11th)
Student Body (9th) - Council Member
Latin Club (9th, 10th, 11th)
Work
Job during school year (11th)
For most years, my gpa and ACT are below the average, but I think my extra curriculars and interview is what made the difference.
To all winners, congratulations! This is the start of a long and hard journey. There is no guarantee we'll make all the way through so keep working as hard as we can to earn a commission.
Thank you to everyone on this forum! You have been an invaluable resource to me.
