<p>I am an international student from Asian country currently living in Northern VA who will be applying to W&L this year.
W&L is one of my top choices.
I might do ED2 (if I don't get into my first choice) and I am wondering if it would be worth for me to apply to Johnson Scholarship Program. </p>
<p>I visited W&L campus, did a tour and an on-campus interview (went well). Then I also met the admission counselor (who was my interviewer) when she visited my school. </p>
<p>Now..
My GPA is about 3.3 unweighted, (the worrying part) and it has an upward trend.
My senior year GPA will be about 3.8 UW and 4.3~4 W
My rigor was marked "the most demanding" by my counselor.
I have 2170 SAT (600CR/790Math/780WR), 800 SAT Math 2, 114 TOEFL.
I will be retaking my SAT for last time next week.
I have solid, unique ECs (strongest part)with many leadership positions which clearly demonstrate my passion and international aspects.
I've also lived in 6 different countries.
I don't know too much about recs but they should be solid. </p>
<p>So anyway, should I even bother applying for Johnson scholarship and financial aid?
Although there is no problem with paying full-tuition, I'd like to save money for my parents</p>
<p>I know that most schools, applying for FA as an international student will significantly hurt chances of getting in. So I won't apply for FA if that's the case for W&L as well.</p>
<p>With deadline coming close, do people think that will it be worth for me to apply for the scholarship (i have to write an essay) although I have very slim chance of getting in and even slimmer chance for getting scholarship?</p>
<p>If any current students or alums can share their opinions, it would be very helpful.</p>
