My daughter is also applying to the UGA foundation fellows scholarship and is struggling with the essay that says “personal statement. tell us about yourself.” Any pointers on how to answer this? She was thinking about either talking about her debate experience or plans for how to use her college education.
She should write about her background, experiences and how they’ve shaped her and her college and life goals.
Her debate experience will be perfect! Remember they are going to read about 1000 essays from great candidates. Try to encourage her to write in her voice. They really want to know about her! Her test scores, GPA, accomplishments already have indicated that she is a clever kid. Good Luck to your d!
Hi, I started a Foundation Fellowship application thinking that I had a GPA above 3.9, but when I calculated it again today, it was a 3.88. Is there any way to cancel the application, or will admissions counselors just not see it if I don’t submit it?
Thank you!
