Hey guys,
Have any of you applied to the Chancellor’s Scholarship Program and Powers-Knapp Scholarship? I’ve been waiting, and I am a bit anxious because I don’t know when they’ll let us know.
I did and read on a really old thread that past years have found out in April.
@lilybeebadger I have been doing the same. Hopefully we get an answer sometime soon. Let me know how it goes and good luck!!
I did! Hopefully they’ll start calling out soon
I also applied to the Chancellor and Powers-Knapp scholarships! What’s your guys stats? I was told they give the scholarships based on academic merit. Around 130 people win one and over 600 people applied this year @carolta01 @iloveuwmandum
Yikes! Then it’ll be highly unlikely that I’ll get it.
OOS
new SAT: 1250 (1290 superscored but I don’t think that matters)
UW GPA: 3.59
W GPA: 5.8 (super inflated)
I was surprised that I got accepted into the school. Hopefully the program will take a leap of faith with me too. 
Also out of the 600, I’m sure there were people that have been denied or waitlisted so who knows!
@carolta01 Yeah, I’m trying to stay positive and hope I get a call.
And my stats aren’t too great, but here you go @audrella
Weighted GPA: 3.7
ACT Compostite: 25
Extracurriculars: Student government, engineering, activism, a summer course at Stanford, and a couple others that aren’t very important like baking lol
Community service: 80 hours
AP classes: AP US Government, AP Bio, AP Language and Composition, AP Spanish, AP Calc, AP Lit, AP Comparative Politics
I really wish the best for all of you and maybe we can be part of the program together and attend Madison! :))
Ya I’m really hoping for the best as well because I will not be able to attend UW-Madison without this scholarship.
Here’s my stats:
ACT Composite= 30
Weighted GPA 3.79
Unweighted GPA= 3.7
3 AP classes and 7 dual-enrolled college classes

@iloveuwmandum Haha, thank you! My numbers are pretty unimpressive, but let’s hope my essays will give me a boost.
