<p>aww man, I got a letter saying I didn't get the Braddock. At least it said I was in the final cut ;(</p>
<p>Hmm I didn't get a letter in the positive nor the negative from braddock yet...not sure if thats a good sign or a bad one.</p>
<p>you still have hope c0nfusion</p>
<p>how many people do you think apply for the braddock?</p>
<p>well its only open to those accepted into schreyer, which is about 300. it's then only open to people applying for a major in some kind of science, which narrows it further. And THEN, it's only open to those that actually applied. My guess is not that many people - probably around 40?</p>
<p>There are probably even fewer eliglible students. I think you have to have at least 1480 SAT and have done research.</p>
<p>Hmm, I don't remember seeing that requirement anywhere. I only have a 1470 and they didnt say i wasnt eligible, lol. But, I have done research.</p>
<p>i had a 1540, but i haven't done research since i live in a tiny town where there is none available, and i got it, so they must take various things into consideration.</p>
<p>i also think it said that the people awarded the scholarships generally have SAT scores above 1450 or maybe it was 1480, but i don't think it was a strict eligibility rule.</p>
<p>I had a 1480 and had done some minor research ;-(</p>
<p>guess it depends on how they liked your (schreyer) essays and whatnot - how do you think your essays were? and your EC's?</p>
<p>My essays were good, but I didn't have any real knockout science ECs, that's probably what did me in.</p>
<p>Well, got the rejection letter today..haha. I noticed something though...I'm willing to bet quite a bit of money that at least 9/10 of the braddock scholars came from PA. Why? simply because penn state is stingy when it comes to financial aid, and giving a full ride to an in state student is not nearly as costly as giving it to an out of state student. Does anyone know a braddock scholar from outside pa?</p>
<p>haha nope. i'm from PA. my essays for schreyer's were very science-oriented, so that may have helped. You are probably right about the in-state thing though.</p>
<p>uber cool - Congrats on the scholarship! I hadn't done research either, so I guess that didn't matter too much for either of us!</p>
<p>I think maybe 400 people applied for the scholarship? I could check, but I'm lazy. I'm also from PA. I think my essays were pretty good, though they weren't about science.</p>
<p>hey what does it take to get into the honors college in general in terms of stats and such....im thinking about applying to both penn states 6 year program with jefferson medical and also the honors college at penn state
i was wondering if id be a good contestant with a 94 unweighted avg from stuyvesant high school adn about a 2220 sat score</p>
<p>Google Schreyer College. The app is there.</p>
<p>I wonder if being off by about 63 1/3 points from the SAT I desired score would significantly hurt my chances of admission into the SHC. I received a 1286 2/3 (from a 1930 score on the new SAT I) in March. Class rank is 3/491. Taking 3 AP classes senior year...2 were taken junior year. National Honor Society member... Math Club founder.</p>
<p>Any thoughts?</p>
<p>setzwxman, your class rank will help you greatly, I met a guy with an SAT below 1350 who was valedictorian and he was admitted. I don't think it will hurt you too much because of your phenominal class rank. </p>
<p>ivybound1010- you may be able to apply to both the med program and shc, but you can only be in one of them. The 6 year med program is probably slightly tougher than the honors collge, but from Stuy with a 94 and a 2220, you should be in good shape</p>
<p>Thanks gameguy56!</p>
