A somewhat stupid question

College Search & Selection
1

<p>Ok, I know that the college mailings tend to be complete BS, and I've read them, and dismissed them since they started arriving on my door.</p>

<p>However, this morning i got one from Scripps(a school i am considering applying to, it's not a definate just yet) urging me to apply for their JES Scholars Scholarship. Basically, it's just telling me to make sure my app is in by Nov. 1st.</p>

<p>Is this letter more BS, or is it legit? </p>

<p>I don't know if i'd even be in the running for merit aid.
34 ACT
3/447
4.0 uw/4.2 w</p>

<p>Is that even in their ball park??? Any info is awesome</p>

<p>^^but there are kids with 35s and 36s, who are valedictorians…</p>

<p>i just don’t believe in being overly confident</p>

<p>you are in the 99th percentile…in fact your score could’ve been a 36 if the curb was a little lower</p>

<p>I am sure the letter is legit. Send an application to Scripps by Nov 1 and see what happens.</p>

<p>^^^thanks…that was my main concern. I don’t put too much faith in some of those letters</p>

<p>It’s a legit request for you to apply. However, it is not a guarantee of either admissions or scholarship.</p>

<p>If you want to apply there anyway, be glad they notified you so that you wouldn’t inadvertently missed a deadline.</p>
