<p>Is anyone or does anyone know somebody is received one of the 45 Richmond Scholars Scholarships? Do you think I stand a chance at receiving one?</p>
<p>33 Act
Rank 5/174
3.985 GPA
Most rigorous classes taken
Mexican
Few colleges classes taken on the side, independent of high school
Not the best ECs though :</p>
<p>It looks like notifications went out last year around mid-February.</p>
<p>Cudi, the scholars are VERY strong candidates that have something “extra.” If it was just based on a statistical formula, I’d say you have a fair chance but without knowing what your “hook” would be, it’s near impossible to gauge your likelihood of selection.</p>
<p>For comparison’s sake, I had the same ACT and superior EC’s, although I didn’t have the GPA or rank (I was a slacker…) and didn’t make the semifinalist round. Typically, the scholars are kids who have gone way above and beyond in things they’re involved with.</p>
<p>Best of luck to you though!</p>
