<p>If so, could you post to which school, how much, and what your stats were? I'm sure it would be extremely helpful to many of us to see this.</p>

<p>No, I’m looking for people who have won competitive scholarships, not guaranteed ones.</p>

<p>Knowing the stats of these people will only be half the story. Competitive scholarships are usually awarded because of other issues…interview, region, hooks, diversity, LORs, ECs, etc.</p>

<p>OP…your posts are odd…</p>

<p>You recently posted this…</p>

<p>*So here’s my situation. I am a freshman currently taking Algebra 1. Yeah yeah, I know, shame on me. I have two options. *</p>

<p>How could you already have some “full ride” offers when you’re only a frosh in high school?</p>

<p>It may not be against CC rules, but it sure complicates matters for folks trying to answer your questions, when we get such conflicting info about the user called HighSchoolDropIn…</p>

<p>I’m pretty confused too. “I’m being offered several full rides at small colleges.”</p>
