Can anyone tell me my chances for the Porter scholarship?

Hi! I’m a female interested in pursuing a stem major at skidmore. I have no clue how competitive the porter scholarship is, so I was hoping someone could give me an idea of what my chances are.

SATs: 800m, 710w, 720r.
Science/math classes:
Geometry (A+), Algebra II (A), Pre-calculus (A), AP Calculus (taking it now, A).
Integrated science and technology 9 (A), integrated science and technology 10 (A), chemistry (A-), physics (A-), AP biology (B), Anatomy and physiology honors (A+).

ECs:
Math team (4 years), placed in 2nd last year. This is pretty much the only math/science club my school offers. Not sure if this counts, but nature photography.
This is my big hook- I went to South Africa for a month over the summer. While I was there i did research for an international conservation organization called Panthera and learned track + sign, becoming a certified level one international tracker for an organization called cyber tracker. I’m planning on writing my essay about this.

I also have a rec in my common app from my AP bio teacher which I’m hoping will be pretty good.

The Porter scholarship is very competitive but you have very good stats. I wouldn’t recommend Skidmore as a top choice for you but certainly apply for the scholarship and see what happens!

Hey, @nainar, I hope you get it! @NEPatsGirl, if I applied and I don’t get it, is that grounds for rejection?

Rejection by you or the school? I’m confused. If you are admitted, the scholarship is just gravy. If you are admitted and pick another school, that’s a choice you can make.

I dont know if you are still using cc but did u get the scholarship cuz i ED2 and i applied for porter scholarship too.
