<p>Looking pretty good for admission. Eagle Scout looks VERY good to an admissions committee (spoken from a fellow Eagle). What’s your class rank? Your weighted is a little low, but if your class rank is pretty high it will show the competitiveness of the class and the school itself.</p>
<p>My class rank before this first semester was 106/465, but it will get better as I got a 4.3 this semester. I should find out soon since school will be back in session next week. I am guessing I will be in the top 15% with the recalculated rank.</p>
<p>Top 15% isn’t great, but should be good enough to get you in. Luckily your ACT score’s very good, that should balance out your GPA and class rank. And like I said, Eagle Scout will look very good. If your class rank is top 15% after this semester, I’d say in with maybe an 11k scholarship.</p>
<p>It could, but then again, that GPA is weighted which should take into account your challenging course load. Of course this is all mere speculation, and we have no way of guessing what an admissions committee will think. But I really do think that being an Eagle Scout will save you from worrying about GPA and class rank. Eagle Scout shows that you’ve put in a very great amount of time and effort into one particular activity for a very long time, and the skills that you’ve learned through your scouting career all culminate in the rank of Eagle. It definitely proves to a committee who might have you on the edge of acceptance or even the edge of scholarship vs. no scholarship that you deserve the better option.</p>
<p>Being an Eagle Scout is rare and may override your gpa and class rank. Your ACT is fine and playing soccer at your level shows more solid commitment to activities. What are the final grades in all of your courses and at what levels?</p>
<p>They’re full scholarships, I think the Stamps covers extra fees. They both require an interview on campus and I think the Stamps requires an interview with Mr. Stamps.</p>
