Just a survey. How many of you guys applied for PTA? And what prompts did you choose?
I did PTA (and also DHS). Chose the prompts about good people and social ideals.
Only PTA, good people and living on mars
I only applied for PTA, and I chose the social ideals and safe spaces prompts. I’m not sure if I’m still being considered for PTA though since I was deferred EA? I swear I read somewhere that I’m still considered but I don’t see how that can be if I won’t even know if I’m accepted until late March…
I did the good person and living on mars prompts, and applied for the DHS as well!
I applied PTA doing safe spaces and living on mars. However, I question my viability for award as I was deferred EA and haven’t yet received a decision. Good luck everyone!
Daughter applied. PTA only. Safe Spaces and Good person. She was accepted into Honors. Does anyone have any historical data on stats vs essay? Is there any link between your merit $ and the PTA award?
@JG1962 I made a thread asking a similar question about the DHS…from what I’ve heard, those who receive higher partial merit scholarships tend to have higher chances of receiving either full scholarship (simply due to academic strength being a factor). No idea about the weight of the essays to stats, though
so since io received merit i might have a higher chance of gettin dhs?
Not necessarily, since there are other factors–it just happens to be a trend that those who already received merit aid, due to academic qualifications, also often get the DHS. Correlation, rather than causation, @sss111222
