Scholarship online app question

<p>What exactly are the three parts? I don't want to submit the first part yet just to see the second part and third part.</p>

<p>Is the only thing I need to send in by mail the recommendations? Cuz it says "complete packet" which is throwing me off.</p>

<p>Also, are SAT scores like the best from each section? superscored I believe it's called. Anyone have a link from the website that tells you specifically to superscore?</p>

<p>Educational Goals? What exactly does that mean. Like hwat I want to major and accomplish at Wash U?</p>

<p>Also, my other recommender sealed the letter in an envelope but left the form outside of it (like where I entered my name, social security, etc.) Do you think that matters? I bascially have two sealed envelopes with rec letters (one has rec letter and form, that's the teacher envelope) in the big manilla envelope and in it I stapled together the form for the other recommender and put a post it note on it in case of confusion, think that's ok?</p>

<p>Part 2 just has the links of all the scholarships. If you click on one of the scholarship links, you'll go to Part 3, which is basically the scholarship itself (Ex. Rodriguez, Ervin, Friends of Music). </p>

<p>Yes, you only need to mail the teacher recs.</p>

<p>Yes, you should superscore.</p>

<p>Educational goal section consists of your major/career prospects, like what you plan to achieve in the future via academics. At least that's what I wrote about.</p>

<p>If you already mailed the rec, then I don't think there's much you can do about it, unless the Scholarship Committee asks you about it later. If you haven't mailed it yet, maybe you could ask the Admissions if they'll still accept it?</p>

<p>thanks.</p>

<p>I mean, both of the letters are sealed inside one big envelope, and the rec FORM for the "other" recommender doesn't say anything more than the program it's for, my name and social, as well as my recommenders name and contact information, it should be alright I assume?</p>

<p>Is Jan. 15 the receive date or submit/postmark date? And how long was your response to the Educational goal question?</p>

<p>The 15th is the received by deadline. The short answers have a limit of 150 words.</p>

<p>If I USPed the recommendations on monday, would that be received by the 15th?</p>

<p>cpq1xtbu: you mentioned that the short answers have a limit of 150 words. is that for all of them? Danforth too? where did you get that information?</p>

<p>Just for clarification, we don't have to send transcripts and testing scores for scholarships and Scholar's Program if we already sent them for the school application, right?</p>

<p>wait, is there a way to apply online? cuz id rather not have to take the risk of it not getting there, cuz knowing my luck, ups'll lose it</p>

<p>I submitted my Danforth application and I'm not seeing the second and third parts. I've filled out the three short answer questions, the essay, and I put the SAT II scores that they asked for. Is there anything else I have to do that I'm missing? Also, I sent out my teacher recommendation for the Ervin Program yesterday. It should get there right?</p>

<p>oh and jocool26. sign in to check the status of your application (the link they should have given you when you submitted the common app) and there'll be a link about scholarships. Then on that page there's a link about begin the scholarship applications online.</p>

<p>My S submitted a summer program app online and did the three parts. Then, when he went back and started another app it jumped right to part 3 (the part where you put in the essays). We figure that it must have copied parts 1 and 2 from the first app he did.</p>

<p>And Dante, first class mail is supposed to only take 3 days, so you should be fine. We dropped a teacher rec off at the post office this morning and they were sure that it will get there in time. They said if we need to mail something else on Monday that Priority Mail would get it there by Thursday.</p>

<p>thanks! i just saw it.
are you sure the ACT & SAT are superscored? cuz you can only put one date. I know the superscore it at Wash U so I assume you're supposed to, but i have no idea what to put as the dates</p>

<p>It didn't ask for a date, did it?</p>

<p>So is it okay if the materials arrive ON the 15th? Cause I was planning to send it on Monday too via first-class mail D:</p>

<p>FedEx super-priority-whatever it is! Those people know me really well by now. "Well, hon, what did you leave to the last minute this time?"</p>

<p>my parents say that I have to pay the extra money, but I'm cool with that. </p>

<p>How strict do you think they'll be about the 150 words? I'm a little bit over the limit. I didn't think it applied to Danforth essays. Does it?</p>

<p>tumbletiger ---In the scholarship application book there are instructions for the short answers. The instructions for the science scholarships (Lien, Compton, etc) give the 150 word limit. We did not look at the other scholarships, so I don't know if the 150 word limit applies to the other scholarships. Look at the instructions and you should find the answer.</p>

<p>wait, this is a dumb question. are there extra recs you have to submit for the scholarships? or are they just the standard recs for ug admission?</p>

<p>For the teacher recs -- you need to check the requirements of the specific scholarship. My DS applied for two scholarships. One needed one rec and the other needed two. Each needed to be sent in its own "packet" with a form where he checked which scholarship it was for. So, he went to his common-app teacher and asked her to fill out two forms, one for the one-rec scholarship and another for the two-rec scholarship, then to another teacher who'd done a rec for him and asked her to fill out the other form for the two-rec scholarship. I think that being able to keep this all straight is part of screening process :-)</p>

<p>These teachers and counselors are incredible in the way they happily fill out all these school-specific forms and tweak their recs!</p>

<p>danforth just says short answer, and does not specify a length, except for the 500 word essay</p>
