<p>Awards: Just AP Scholar Award </p>

<p>Planning on majoring in either Poli Sci, History, or International Relations for B.A.
Planning on getting a MA in International Relations, then following that up by joining the Peace Corps. Then I hope to move on and work for a government organization.</p>

<p>Thanks for helping!</p>

<p>P.S. Any information about possible merit aid amount would also be greatly appreciated.</p>

<p>Solid chance for admission if you show strong interest. Maybe 2-1 for admission, I would say. Almost no chance for merit aid I don’t think, though. Slight chance for the Academic Achievement Award, if anything ($17,000). They used to have a lower award, but not sure they are still doing that.</p>
