<p>What other "full scholarship" programs are there (at this level of prestige?)
Specifically in the Business field/economics/finance?</p>

<p>I'm thinking of applying to these, but I looked over the RSI App for example, and i feel really underqualified. I mean i really like science and math (this year --junior Im taking BC Calc+A bio class thats beyond the AP level), but the app asks a lot about like your EC's that show this or distinguished awards. And i realize that I dont have any of these. I'm not good enough at math to place in math comps and such.</p>

<p>Are there ppl like me who have gotten in or is everyone in RSI/SSp like super math-international conest winning-science geniuses?-->basically im just wondering about the level of accomplishment you need to have had in Science/math. Right now, non of my EC's have anything to do with these. I'm more of a music person, but Science and math are amongst my favorite academic subjects.</p>

<p>(Btw 240 PSAT and 2350 SAT)<--how much will these matter?</p>

<p>Thanks in advance

<p>I have the EXACT same question and the same thoughts about being underqualified.</p>

<p>So... BUMP.</p>

<p>Wrote long post and then lost it. Short version:
A classmate and I who were at SSP last summer had two minor math/science clubs and no noteworthy awards when we applied. Quality of extracurricular resumes varied; many people's were impressive, but we were by no means flooded with Intel winners. These things help, but passion >>> other stuff.
Also, apply because you're genuinely excited about the program, not because it's prestigious. Read past threads for more eloquent words on the subject.</p>
