<p>Please post your stats and ec's if you are a Florence Moog Scholar or any other recipient of WashU merit aid.</p>
<p>I'm an "Olin Scholar"; however, I'm not sure if that's quite on the level of the Florence Moog Scholar (don't you have to interview for those)...I got just above 36k in scholarships plus student contributions.</p>
<p>My stats, as copied from the Decisions thread:</p>

<p>I created a (text) website linking to various essays/graphics/web design for my application. In my application, I detailed specific awards I won.</p>
<p>Honestly, I think my essays were what sealed the deal for me...</p>
<p>Congratulations on being named an "Olin Scholar". Did you fill out a seperate application for this? It seems like you didn't need to interview for this scholarship.
I would like to hear from other merit scholars from WashU.</p>
<p>Honorary scholars will typically have at least 34-35 ACT (over 2300 SAT), great ECs and essays (very important).</p>
<p>I applied separately for the lien scholarship for arts and science (i'm also majoring in poli sci). Didn't win. But I do think my essays for that scholarship competition did play a major role in my Olin scholarship. Then again, I really have no way of finding out...</p>
<p>If you look at the scholarship thread somewhere on this board....a lot of people get scholarships of some sort.</p>
<p>I was named an Ervin Scholar. </p>

<p>Everyone has these stats. The essay, in my opinion, is the most important factor in selection, followed closely in importance by the interview process.</p>
<p>im a moog scholar and one of the professors interviewing me told me my local TedX Talk in my research was a big factor in their selection process. I think because it showed that I had actually enjoyed and learned from my research experience. BTW all the Moog Candidates 2013 had substantial research experience.</p>
