<p>I'm in the thick of my applications right now, trying to decide where and when to apply and all. I'm interested in applying for the Wells scholarship for IUB, but I live in California and my high school can't nominate me so I have to go through the Admissions Office. Does anyone know how my status as an out-of-stater will affect my chances? My info is pretty generic, #2 in a class of 700 something, 4.67 GPA (4.0 unweighted), 800 English & 720 Math SAT, all 5s on 5 AP tests, a list of e.c.s and such. I figure the essays will make or break me. Any input is greatly appreciated.</p>
<p>BTW, I LOVE this school! It's got everything under the sun, and the nicest people to boot.</p>
<p>Wow, you definitely sound like you would be a great candidate for the scholarship. I wouldn't say you are a pretty "generic" applicant. I don't know anything about the Wells scholarship, other than there's a link on the Indiana homepage. </p>
<p>If you don't get the scholarship, you will likely get 3/4 tuition at least with your credentials. There is definitely a scholarship coming your way if you go to Indiana. Don't stress out, you are much more qualified than other applicants (including me! and I was hoping for some scholarship money!)</p>
