<p>What are the general statistics of the Marquis Scholars. What stats should I have to hope being considered for it?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>In general, I would presume high GPA, SAT and ec's that especially include initiative and leadership. If you have those stats and maybe come from some exotic or not well known place you might have an advantage.</p>
<p>Go to the Lafayette web page and click on admissions and then look for scholarship info. It indicates last year's recipients were in top 3% of their class with SATs ranging from high 1300's to 1480. Plus the usual well-rounded activities etc.</p>

also a couple of state level awards. they also referred directly to the rigor of my school (i defintiely don't have a 4.0 unweighted, i've gotten a few bs and even b minuses in math-not my area of specialisation) and my essay about social justice.
