Hello!
I was named a Wilkins Scholarship winner at Sewanee. Anybody out there with a Benedict or Vice Chancellor’s Scholarship, or any other potential Sewanee students in the class of 2024?
I got like an email saying that I was being considered for a Benedict scholarship. I am not sure who else got this email or anything though.
Does anyone know when the decisions are supposed to come out? I know that today’s the day that the decisions are released, but what time?
jlgant01 and user_480522, congratulations on winning merit aid at Sewanee. Could I ask if either of you might be willing to share a bit about your stats, please? (Grades, test scores, ECs, etc.) If you wouldn’t mind, I would really appreciate getting an idea of what kind of credentials might earn scholarship money there these days. There’s really not much on their website other than the usual verbiage about “the best applicants” will be considered, etc., etc. Thanks to you both in advance if you wouldn’t mind sharing.
I am pretty sure it is a more holistic rather than stat based. Also I ended up not receiving the Benedict scholarship, but I was considered as a finalist so my stats may still be helpful. I received a 1400 SAT and 4.4 gpa. However, I believe it may have been my poverty “success story” that helped me be considered.
Jlgant01, thank you very much for your reply. It is indeed helpful. May I ask if you did receive a Wilkins Scholarship, if not the Benedict? I’m assuming so & would still commend you for the former as that seems quite selective, too.
