<p>ok so. i bet many of you have reviewed all of the scholarships offered by WFU.</p>
<p>"Wake Forest awards Joseph G. Gordon scholarships to students who show exceptional promise and achievement and who are members of constituencies traditionally underrepresented at Wake Forest"</p>
<p>so i am just dying to get this scholarship. if i dont i highly doubt that i could attend wfu. but i question, how good is the candidate suppose to be. i belief that i am a very good student overall; and i represent a "tradionally underrepresented at wake. but how much emphasis is put upon skin color and name and how much is put on actual promise? this is a question i also have.
i try to research the recipients of this scholarship; i could only find 2. one guy is from some country in africa(he was born there, it did not specify how many years he had been in the US) and another guy named Jorge Mendez. </p>
<p>i want to give a little background about myself. and let you guys decide if i have a chance, this sounds much like a chace thread, but i need to know this info. w/out this im doomed. i have been in contact with the multicultural advisor; she has been very friendly and informative. so thanks in advance for answering my 3 questions. </p>
<p>I has been in the us for 5 years now. i come from the carribean island of the dominican repuublic(is about the same size of maryland). i dont think many dominicans apply to wfu. in my class i am the highest ranked hispanic student and second highest male. i rank 7 of 479. my gpa is about 3.87 unweighted. i my act that i got today is 28 but i doubt i will send it. i know that i can get a hold of very good recommendations(2). i have been involve in school. and have hold positions. i wont liest them all but. here r the tops(4 me). newspaper-3yrs 1 editor. tennis4yrs(3varsity 1 cpt) french hn-secretary. nhs. gospel choir-director of public relations(my major btw)-this and french take much time. because we have huge events and is very involved. </p>
<p>so thats a bit about me. i dont want to play the race card. but as much as people hate it[this is ultematly MY selling point] i am willing to kill myself to have a perfect essay. but i have truky given it my all so what do you gys think.</p>
<p>Am i good enough?</p>
