<p>For scholarships, I would like to know about UC Jacobs for UCSD and Wells as well as other possible ones for IU and Purdue</p>

3

<p>You do have a good chance to get the Dean’s or Presidential Scholarships at Purdue.</p>

<p>I’m sorry, but you said Northwest Indiana? Do you go to Munster??? :3 Those courses sound EXACTLY like Munster! Especially with the Ancient/Modern World History! As well as AP English Lit in 11th grade and AP English Lang. in 12th! Also, AP Art History! And all those ECs are at Munster! Hehe, sorry this has nothing to do with chancing you, it’s just I feel that you most likely go to Munster.</p>

<p>I think you are a competitive candidate for any of those universities, and I wouldn’t feel too concerned about lacking a “big accomplishment” because thousands of applicants with “big” accomplishments get rejected. Just be sure to write excellent essays that emphasize what you’re passionate about.</p>

<p>Also, would you mind chancing me back? <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1667871-chance-me-please.html#latest”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1667871-chance-me-please.html#latest&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
