<p>Hi! Some questions about Dean's Scholars...</p>
<p>Do they also have access to the normal ApplyTexas Application? There are some things I listed in that application but not in the Honors application (Community Service, etc.)</p>
<p>Is the resume needed in order to be accepted/ win honors scholarship?
I know it says optional, but it also says "strongly recommended" so I don't know how to interpret that.</p>
<p>I did not submit it yet, so it would be past the deadline.
It would depend on the answer to the first question also--if they already see the ApplyTexas, there's not really any new information I'd like to add.</p>
<p>So, most important question: do you think there's any hope for me? X)</p>
<p>I love the school and when I visited for a swim meet it seemed like the perfect location but without scholarship it's too expensive for me >.<</p>
<p>(A little unrelated-- do they still give a fee waiver for OOS National Merit?)</p>
