<p>What test scores/grades/extra curriculars do students usually have to have to be named a John Jay Scholar? Do other factors (e.g., a major national music award, national merit scholar) carry any weight? Do ED candidiates stand a better chance? I've read all the Scholars info on the website already, so I'm looking for ballpark numbers to know if I might qualify...</p>
<p>There's really nothing you can do with regard to the Scholar stuff, so don't worry about it. You should be worrying about getting in; if you get a Scholar thing, great. I honestly have no idea what they're looking for, and I've met some truly unimpressive people who were "Scholars" of various sorts at Columbia. None of the admitted kids that I've interviewed were awarded any such awards.</p>
<p>Go to ******* and you might some people who are John Jay scholars.</p>
