Amazing essay (if I do say so myself)
@justinn76, I got an email and it said to check the application status check website. There was a letter saying I was admitted and admitted to the honors college. But there are links on the left and I can’t open them, one says “scholarship.” To those who got scholarships, was it in your letter or under the link?
ACT 34 superscore 35, 4.0 GPA, a year of dual credit college courses (no APs offered at my school), good state level awards, from the Midwest if that means anything.
@krispy1 My scholarship details were in a separate document that I downloaded from the scholarship link.
@JoeGoe thanks. I saw the scholarship link and it’s an active link but none of the links work for me. Guess I’ll have to call tomorrow.
@JoeGoe it worked this time! Looks like I have a $20,000 Dean’s Scholarship.
@krispy1 Congratulations! Yeah, that would be super mean if they gave you a scholarship link on your portal but didn’t give you a scholarship.

I also had a really, really rough freshman year and therefore I have a steep grade curve which is why my gpa is so low.
I got deferred, but I am waiting on a regular decision decision (lol) Can someone please chance me?
I am a senior at a good private school.
ACT: 30
Ive taken all honors and AP classes since my sophomore year and my GPA at the end of junior year was 97.9 (100 point scale, weighted)
I am in the top 15% of my class.
I am very involved in my school and I am involved in NHS and other academic clubs.
I have also had many leadership positions such as student council and president of a club
My senior year classes are very rigorous and 1st semester I had a GPA over 100
I recently was awarded 2 awards from my community bc I was recognized for my academic excellence and leadership and service.
What are my chances?
@somemoosery - Is that a total scholarship over all semesters? Because I don’t know of any scholarship that are that much per year.
whats your major
