<p>Definitely try for it. Your stats are really good.</p>

3

<p>You have a very good shot. I can't claim to speak for the school, but I am an Honors Scholar here at W&L and I know several others that are as well. I would say that your stats are comparable to most of the kids who got selected for the competition.</p>

<p>do you have another sat2?</p>

<p>gchris07 when did you do NIAHD at W&M my daughter did that two summers ago.</p>

6

<p>I did the NIAHD program this past summer and really enjoyed it. It was really awesome to be in Williamsburg, the epicenter of American colonial history, to study.</p>

7

<p>Are you going to apply to W&M and or W&L?</p>

<p>I am not familiar with that scholarship but for selective schools like W&L and W&M, NHS is pretty much meaningless. At my school everyone with a 3.4 pretty much gets in, it varies so much from school to school that it is essentially worthless.</p>

9

<p>My daughters school doesn't have NHS.</p>

<p>bmulez,
thank you for your similarly worthless post...</p>

11

<p>at somepoint there was something mentioning that you would need to be a inducted into NHS as a junior inorder to receive a scholarship. Can anyone else back me up on that or was I confusing it with someother post. Sorry if I was, Just trying to help, I might have made a mistake no need to get angry</p>

12

<p>Yes there was some post about that! I was wondering where it went too!</p>

13

<p>hello, this is midwestcrazy's daughter... i did the NIAHD PRE-COLL program a while back with similar affections. did you put it down as an honors program? just curious...</p>

14

<p>Yeah i think so...</p>
