<p>As an update, I received a letter informing me I got the full tuition honors scholarship today = ) (exactly a week from the acceptance letter). Also got the invite for the chancellor’s scholarship - debating whether three essays in 2 weeks is worth the small chance of getting it.</p>
<p>hey all! I also received notification of a full tuition scholarship today. Someone on another thread asked me to post my stats here, so here they are! I hope they help ease your nerves, because I’m sure you are all as nervous as I was before the mail came today!</p>
<p>GPA: 4.18 W (about 3.8 UW)

Rank: my school only releases quartiles, but top quartile</p>
<p>I’ve taken basically all AP and honors classes and am involved in multiple clubs, two sports (captain of one), and my local volunteer ambulance squad. I was also invited to apply for the guaranteed medical program at pitt (so many extra essays to write in addition to the chancellors ones, yikes!)</p>
<p>Hope that helps, and good luck to all of those who have not received their notification yet!</p>

<p>imdamoos how did u manage to get into the honors college wit a 30 and 3.48 GPA?</p>
<p>Izzy4college: As decisions and awarding of scholarships gets posted, you will find some head-scratching decisions even if the applicants have top-rated stats. I believe her hook is her URM status.</p>
