in!! congrats everyone 
@studentfromnj I went and did the compass scholar fly-out program for LC, and let me tell you, if youre looking to do environmental science, definitely LC, a lot of the ES classes are held outside, because I was planning on majoring in ES. Congrats! UP is also right in the middle of downtown, I am not sure if you’d like that or not?
I agree with you about Lewis and Clark having a good environmental science program, but the University of Portland has a nice, quiet, secluded campus on the river. It is by no means in the middle of the city. It is possible that you meant to say Portland State, which is downtown.
@studentfromnj & @maritomountains I am a recent alum from LC w friends who went to UP. LC definitely has a stronger environmental science program, and the campus really prides itself on being environmentally conscious. The social culture is definitely pretty different between the two, and LC is a bit more academically prestigious / has more name recognition, although only by a bit. UP is Catholic, and while not everyone there is catholic, it is definitely a part of campus culture. Let me know if you have more questions, I am happy to answer them! Congrats!

Has anyone received the Barbara Hirschi Neely scholarship? I was just wondering if those had already been announced…
@ArizonaParent , I was wondering that as well!
@ArizonaParent my daughter heard via email on 3/18 that she had not received the Neely.
My daughter got her admission via portal last night. 24K scholarship but overall the aid package left a bigger gap than any of her other options, so not really in the running, which is too bad. Glad we have others that are meeting our need or coming close.
@ArizonaParent I was admitted as a Neely Scholar in March. SAT: 1540, SAT II Chemistry: 800, SAT II Math: 780, 4.5 GPA
I was very shocked but pleasantly surprised! Everyone here is equally qualified for the scholarship; I just got lucky
@Jackbrains Could you please comment a few of your stats, EC’s? I’m currently a junior in HS who’s top decision is Lewis and Clark, and I would like to see my possibility of being a Neely Scholar. Thank you!
@Neooooooo Sure! But take this with a grain of salt; the college admissions process is bizarre. Also, I heard from the Neely Scholars chairperson that they may be doing a Finalist Weekend for next year, so keep an eye out for that!

Sorry for the long post, but I hope this helps. And don’t sweat it! I’m sure you’re super smart and capable, so I hope you get the Neely, but even if you don’t, you’re still just as amazing!!! L&C will def give you some merit, if anything. Love yourself and don’t give a crap what a college says!
