<p>I was a semifinalist for an ITT corporation scholarship (my mom works there, which makes me eligible to apply), and am worried, because though my grades and SATs are fine.. my letters of recommendation aren't.
The one my school counselor wrote is pretty mediocre, and I mean that in the nicest way possible...It just sounds very mechanic and impersonal, like it's fill in the blank format (I recommend __________ because he/she is very conscientious!)</p>
<p>One that my French teacher whom I've had since freshman year wrote is pretty good, but that's one out of two!</p>
<p>how competitive is this scholarship?does anyone know?</p>
<p>I have okay grades (weighted 4.26 unweighted 3.55) and SATs (2030 total 710 CR, 620 M, 700 W). My ECs are acceptable (member of 3 national honor societies, one of them being the debate team, from which I won one speaking tournament.) ummm i have 150+ community hrs... </p>
<p>I just need help figuring out how much the letters of recommendation matter? and do I have a considerable chance at a scholarship? because semifinalist seems far off from finalist..=/</p>
