I don't qualify for any FA, so I'm wondering about the full-tuition scholarships as well. If anyone who received any of them could post their stats, I would greatly appreciate it.
My total GPA for EA would be 4.3472 -> 4.35 W, 3.85 UW

<p>Thanks. :P</p>

<p>Your chances to get in are very high. I’m 90% sure you’ll get in. but I don’t know about the scholarship one, it’s very tough and you’re competing against 2400s</p>

<p>Also, I forgot to put these in:
I know four languages: English, Spanish, French, and Hebrew.
To learn Hebrew, I participated in Hebrew High School from 8th to 11th grade.</p>

<p>My dad’s a doctor, and I’m not sure it matters, but he did residency at UCLA and a fellowship at USC.</p>

<p>Work Experience:
I hopefully will land a tutoring position in September that would entail about 1 hour daily (paid).</p>

<p>This was in middle school, but I’m part of the Johns Hopkins CTY programme (I received awards for my score in both 5th and 7th [I took the SAT])
-participated in Model UN program</p>

<p>Hobbies:
I am certified in HAM radio-I became so at 9
I am USCF ranked in chess (I believe still)</p>

<p>I know those scholarships are killer to get, but I am looking voraciously for merit aid. :p</p>

<p>I’m an OOS and I got in here with far less credentials and a lower GPA than you. I’d say you have a really really good chance of getting in! Good luck!</p>
