Eagle Scout Candidate on College Application

I am currently on track to become an Eagle Scout (I have my project and merit badges done, now I just need to file some paperwork) but don’t think I’ll “officially” be one in time for when I submit my college apps. How should I mention this on my college apps? Will it look bad that I’m not quite an Eagle Scout?

That’s pretty common. You can say you’re in the final stages of getting approved.

A lot of my son’s friends were sweating it the day before they turned 18, ha.
