<p>Hi guys! I just found out about this forum today, and I'm really excited. I would love to hear from anyone who has been named a Dean's Achievement Scholar (2/3 tuition). I was notified about my status a couple of weeks ago, and I'm still not sure about what my final college decision will be. So, we're not finalists, but 2/3 tuition sure isn't bad!!! I'm just wondering what all of ya'll are thinking regarding this award.</p>
<p>Congratulations! It sounds like a wonderful award!</p>
<p>Were you also a semifinalist for Emory Scholar or did Dean's Achievement Scholar come completely out of the blue?</p>
<p>What are your stats?</p>
<p>I was one of the approximately 75 semi-finalists who was not invited to attend the finalist weekend but was still awarded scholarship money.</p>
<p>Stats:
SAT 1600
Rank 1 of 417
5's on three APs and 5 more this year
National Merit, Girl Scout Gold, Girls' Nation</p>
<p>Wonderful stats! Amazes me that you didn't make finalist. The competition is hellacious for Emory Scholars.</p>
<p>SAT 1600
Rank 13 of 524
5's on three APs, 5 more this year (not too different from you)
National Merit, Boys' State, GA Certificate of Merit, several mock trial Outstanding Attorney Awards at competition, NHS VP, etc etc.</p>
<p>It's definitely making me consider Emory verrry strongly. I think that it is pretty much a sure thing that I will attend Emory if I stay in state. But I certainly wouldn't mind a lot of other schools out there either. I guess I'll know in a few weeks.</p>
