Chances? - for Scholarship too?

Colleges and Universities A-Z James Madison University

<p>I applied Early Action to JMU back in October, but still have not heard anything. I also applied for the "Dingledine Scholarship" which is just the all-around scholarship, and I'm wondering what my chances of getting some scholarship money are as well.</p>

<p>I am planning on majoring in Graphic Design, with Business minor. I also want to do the teacher license program (whatever it's called ... basically I also want a teaching degree).</p>

<p>Here are my stats:</p>

<p>GPA: W 4.3 / UW 4.0
SAT: CR 620, M 630, WR 710 // 1960 composite
ACT: Eng 33, Mth 27, Reading 31, Sci 24 // 29 composite</p>

<p>Extra-Curriculars:</p>

<p>/ Varsity Basketball 2 years
/ Varsity Soccer 1 year
/ Club Swimming 3 years
/ 350+ Hours of Community Service (yes I do a lot of it...)
/ Co-Founded a student organization called Faith for Freedom (that raises awareness for human trafficking - we have a 5K planned for May)
/ Yearbook Staff
/ Prom Committee
/ Taught 1st-3rd Grade Sunday School all four years of high school</p>

<p>I'm in-state, and I'm also dual-enrolled at NVCC so I'll have over 30 college credits by the time I graduate. I have a 3.7 GPA at the community college. I have all the required High School courses for JMU and also plenty of extra curriculars.</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>You will not hear back about JMU EA until January, I believe.</p>

<p>You certainly seem very competitive for JMU. The Dingledine Scholarship as well, but they only interview 50 (I think)… the community service aspect is a big part of the Dingledine (which you have), but since it is competitive it is hard to predict.</p>

<p>Are you looking to be certified in Art Education?</p>

<p>Thanks for your response! Not art education necessarily, I was more interested in Elementary Education. I know it’s not a typical combination (graphic design, business, and education) but art and education are my two passions, and I’ve really enjoyed the business classes I’ve taken so far. And I figure if I ever wanted to start my own graphic design/photography business, I would need to know how to run it!)</p>
