Blackwell scholarship

<p>does anyone know anything about this?</p>

<p>how about my shot at it...?
-I know you must be a minority, from a rural area, or have a parent that didn't attend college.
my (single) mother didn't go to college and up until I was 15 we lived in the country. I realize these are the requirments because kids in these situations usually don't have oppurtunities and based on my ECs I have. So do I have too many ECs to qualify? b/cus i worked my butt off to get those and my mom has worked her butt off to get me the best she can so it really sucks if my chances are killed bcus of that</p>

<p>GPA: 93/100 unweighted
Rank: tope ten percent
SAT: 1210 (I'm retaking it... I know you need at least a 1250 OR a 28 on ACT so I'm hoping when I retake it I can hit 1300)
ACT: 28
Classes: AP Bio (4), AP Lit, AP Lang (4), Spanish 4, Latin I, AP Calc, AP Stats, AP Physics, SUPA econ, SUPA psychology, Advanced Zooogy/Human Anatomy, took a sociology course over the summer at Lemoyne, </p>

<p>ECs:
-1200 hours at an ambulance
-took a four month class and became a NYS Certified First Responder
-Vice President of Explorer post
-volunteer at two different hospitals about 100 hours

There are some other ECs that I can't think of and aren't important.</p>

<p>My Ecs rock but my SAT scores suck... hopefully they will go up when I retake them.</p>

<p>nothing? anyone?</p>

<p>no one knows anything about this at all?</p>

<p>seriously? nothing?</p>

<p>Suggest you ask HWS for stats on recent Blackwell recipients.</p>
