<p>This isn't exactly a "Chance me" but I was just wondering about how many people actually win the scholarship to a summer program? I've been scouring the internet and have found no direct answer that even approximates the number of winners. Thanks!</p>
<p>I know the numbers are very low, somebody at some CPS webinar (or maybe it was at the conference) mentioned that some of the programs only award 5-10 scholarships. I personally got CPS and know many other people who did as well thanks to Facebook groups and the conference and not one person I met got a summer scholarship. I personally did not apply for one, but CPS still gave me great benefits and I absolutely recommend applying.</p>
<p>OP: Very few people win the summer program and it really feels like a very random process. When I became a college prep scholar, I never expected to get a summer program. My stats are pretty good (but average for CC), I am extremely low income (<10k), my essays were okay and I have urm status (but I am not sure whether QB even considers it). I ended up receiving an email April 30 about my acceptance to a summer program and to this day, I do not know why exactly I was picked. Just do your best on your essay and try to keep good grades your Junior year. Also take the SAT at some point. Sorry for the jumbled organization of this answer, I just woke up and I am stressing about the match results in two days.</p>
<p>ArtsyGirl13: according to a couple of your posts, you were chosen as a Fein Fellow. What did you receive as a Fein Fellow? I am not Jewish but I have a friend who is and he could potentially go to a QB partner school. Also good luck with Swarthmore. I am sure you can get in. :)</p>
<p>@IWillKillForMIT As a Fein Fellow I received a laptop, an invite to the Northwestern conference (I may have received the invite anyway, but you are guaranteed one with Fein), and additional help with apps (essay proof-reading, group chats with the other Feins and somebody from QB who would answer questions/give us tips and so on). If your friend is considering apply for CPS tell them to go for it (Fein is awesome)! Thanks for wishing me good luck with Swat, I will know in around two weeks!</p>
