<p>Can some of you post your stats along with the scholarship you received so potential applicants - like me- have a general idea of what it takes to attain a merit scholarship from USD.</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>Although I chose not to attend USD I was awarded their Alcala scholarship ($20,000 a year). </p>
<p>I am white, from Alaska, and applied to the Biology major of the Arts and Sciences college.</p>
<p>I had a 2260 sat, 31 act, and 5’s on 5 AP tests. 800 on SAT biology and 760 on SAT Math 2.</p>
<p>I played 3 varsity sports, coached some youth sports, and did some volunteer work here and there. </p>
<p>Honestly their admission requirements are extremely simple, if I recall correctly I only had to write a little one-paragraph essay. Just focus on their prompt and spend some time researching the school.</p>
