I came here about 8 months ago and I continued high school starting my junior year. Ever since I have been here I took 16 classes and scored As in all of them. I took AP calculus class for 4 months and got a 3. I am from a poor family and I grew up in a poor country. I scored 1140 on the SAT and my gpa is 3.5. I qualified for states for TAPT(texas spublic transport association), I won 7th place in LD speech, 6th and 3rd place on extemporaneous speech(qualified for regions), found an SAT study group at my high school and I am a manager. I was a states academic champion back in my country and I qualified for state physics compition also in my country and won 1st place. Do you think that I have a shot to the Posse scholarship. I got nominated btw. Does it really matter because I began high school from junior year? Thanks.
You definitely have a shot! My sister attends a school in the US and when Posse went to her school, they informed her that their decision is made regardless of citizenship (as long as you’re in a partner city). Don’t freak out. If you have more concerns, talk to your GC about them.
Thank you very much, that was extremely motivational.
