<p>Since I was recently informed that I have NOT been made a finalist for the Danforth or Lien scholarships at Wash U, I decided to create this "chances" thread to see whether or not I have a chance at getting in at all. My resume is below. Any feedback, whether positive or negative, is appreciated. Thanks!</p>
