I was wondering if this scholarship was based on the essay rather than GPA, ACT scores? My scores are pretty average. Thanks for all the replies in advance!
It seems to be very subjective! Essay + ECs seems to be the deal. I had a lower GPA (3.4) and have been awarded Prominence with consideration for Distinction. I saw someone with a 23 ACT who was awarded Prominence as well.
Do you have any ideas to what we would be good to promote diversity? My friends and I have given presentation in school about racial equality and I am a president of a volunteer club, which works on helping the poor. Again, if you have ideas share them! Also what were you’re EC’s? Thanks again and I wish you luck with the rest of your college apps! @freezycool
My ECs were related to civic engagement for youth (esp. people of color, and those form low-income backgrounds) & resource accessibility for LGBTQA+ youth for the most part, but I did my best to show through my app/essay was that it was something I had been involved with for several years and sought to continue expanding.
Did you already apply or are you looking to apply next year?
