hoping for big scholarship...

<p>Do you think turning in a good midyear report help your chances at getting a big scholarship or does it even matter at this point....?</p>

<p>btw I got As on 2 AP classes, 2 reg/vocation classes, and a college math class...and...a B+ for an AP class...</p>

<p>Should I report? cus when I called they said that I don't have to report it unless they ask for it...</p>

<p>One last question...is there any hope at this point of getting a big scholarship if your status hasn't updated from "prelim review" since 12/11/08????</p>

<p>Also someone from my school got the packet on monday but i havent gotten anything. what does that mean?</p>

<p>I know thats a lot of questions but im freaking out right now!! any input would help tremendously! THANKS!</p>

<p>bump.............................</p>

<p>I was told by an admissions person that all trustee and pres. scholarship candidates admission letters will be sent by the end of this week.</p>

<p>lyrical_liar- I'll give your questions a try-</p>

<p>Your midyear grades will not be looked at for scholarship consideration.</p>

<p>Send in your scores ASAP. Every applicant who is not asked to interview for a scholarship is asked for midyear grades. In most cases, those applicants' decisions will not be made until midyear grades are received. If you get a scholarship notification, it won't matter that you sent them but you'll have a jump on it just in case you don't.</p>

<p>It means nothing. Scholarships are not decided based on your high school.</p>

<p>Your best bet is to compare your stats to those already accepted. If you are up with those stats, you've still got a shot for one of the big ones. And there are other scholarships available after that so try to relax and wait. Good luck! :)</p>

<p>whatever i just turned it in. I mean really at this point I have nothing to lose cus if I don't get the scholarship I have to turn in the midyear report anyway...</p>

<p>thanks baseballbrown</p>

<p>wow sorry for the double post (i was in the middle of posting when you posted)</p>

<p>Yea I believe I am up there with the stats except my rank is in the 20s but im in top 95%. plus SAT is only 2240...these are all probably weaker than the other person in my school that got the envelope...the only thing stronger would probably be leadership and ECs...but barely.</p>

<p>thanks for the input cc411! :)</p>
