<p>tocollege...what were your sat scores if you don't mind me asking...</p>
<p>the guy there said the scores were really important so i want to see if i'm up to par</p>
<p>I forgot to put my application in a Mead folder. Think it'll hinge my chances?</p>
<p>well presentation of the packet hopefully doesnt count for a ton, because my photocopies were pretty ugly.</p>
<p>^^^^Hi neethus! I went back and checked on the number of applicants - it turned out to be slightly more than 500... in my notification letter (last year) they said they had over 15,000 applicants at the lodge level. It is likely to be similar this year.</p>
<p>^^^ I Hope UT, I had very a strong transcript and test scores, as well as a great deal of community service and volunteer work with lots of leadership. My weaknesses (as I saw them) were employment (none, other than babysitting-type stuff) and the financial need aspect. I think what helped was that some of my volunteer work was very job-like in responsibility and work load.</p>
<p>Good luck to all!</p>
<p>Lmao WOW.</p>
<p>Guess that was completely off.</p>
<p>i echo your wow neethus1. that is a TON of applicants!!!</p>
<p>Yeah seriously.</p>
<p>I'd be happy with ANY money... forget the larger scholarships!</p>
<p>wow. Has anybody gotten notification yet? I know only my friend and I applied from our school and nobody has gotten word of how this is turning out yet.</p>
<p>I filled it out and I still haven't heard anything yet!! I really want to find out!!! They said that local judging is supposed to be done for sure by the 29th however. lol</p>
<p>DS just got a letter that he was awarded 1000 locally and will go on to the next level!
Yahoo....</p>
<p>DinDune....that is awesome!! That sure is nice that some local lodges award scholarships! I sure hope mine does too! lol ha ha good luck to everyone!</p>
<p>I am so thankful. DS needs every penny. He is also invited to an award dinner mid-May, which should be a nice treat! Best of luck to all...</p>
<p>My daughter got an email a week ago which mentioned she is awarded $400 and will go to next level. They will inform her in 10 days. We are still waiting...</p>
<p>Do you guys know if EVERY local lodge awards a scholarship?</p>
<p>wow!!! everyone is getting a letter so soon!!! thats impressive</p>
<p>Still waiting for a letter. The lodge I applied to said I had to mail in my application to my local lodge. Did anybody else have to mail their application in?</p>
<p>My local lodge didn't award me anything, just moved me up to the next level...</p>
<p>Hi everyone!
Well, I have gotten no letter or email, so I am still waiting to be notified. I hope my lodge has a local award.</p>
<p>Good luck to everyone!</p>
<p>Tigerbound: I thought you need to deliver or mail the folder to the local lodge by the deadline.
Margaux: Just call your local lodge to find out whether you'd been advanced to the district level.</p>
<p>i wasnt informed that there was a ELKS scholarship. thank you for telling because i'm need for major financial aid since my parents aren't paying unless its crucial</p>
