Youth Council - VP
20 Hours of Shadowing
350 Volunteering Hours through Youth Council
50 Hours of Hospital Volunteering
BOLD - oncology related 1 week program
Waksman Institute summer internship w/ research publication

Honors:
National Selection in FBLA competition
Several regional FBLA awards
US Presidential Scholar Nominee (Schoolwide)
RPI Medalist
Few district/regional awards for FIRST Robotics
PSAT/NMSQT Commended Scholar

Any help/advice is much appreciated!! :slight_smile:

I’m planning on taking the ACT in October for one last chance at a 35+

so @ro2400 did you take the ACT in Oct? How did you do? I don’t think Rutgers has sent out the scholarship info as of today. Did you receive anything?

Yeah I ended up taking it and got a 35 in October. Luckily the full score report came a week before the deadline date so I was able to submit it in time. And no I have not received anything for scholarships, apparently on Rutgers go it was said it will until end of next week.

@ro2400 what schools did you get into. And did you get into the honors colleges?
