<p>So I wanted to apply for the Wells scholarship, but there is a problem. My school didn't start accepting applications until this week, and Indiana says to be considered for the scholarship, you needed all your information in BY September 20, 2005!</p>
<p>Also, in order to apply for the scholarship, you need a teacher recommendation which I haven't got yet (I've only been in school for 2 weeks), as well as a written essay (which I haven't done), List of ECs, and a resume type thing.</p>
<p>I sent in my Counselor Signature Form to my school on Tuesday, and I don't know if it's been processed and can't check. So I don't know if they will receive my application materials on time.</p>
<p>Should I still apply, or has time just simply run out on me and I should look at other scholarships?</p>
<p>I'm applying for the Wells Scholarship! But I've known about it since March. I think it's a marvelous opportunity. It's easy enough to shoot off a list of ECs and an essay of Academic Interests. Sit down for an hour, on like Friday afternoon, and make yourself shine :) Are you close to any of last years' teachers? If you go in today or tomorrow, and say "I'm begging you! I need this letter of recommendation for a scholarship due Tuesday and I'll do anything to get it. I'll bring you flowers, presents...what's your favorite type of cookie?" Ooh, better yet, bring the cookies with you. And a pie. Who doesn't like pie?</p>
<p>Give the teacher a weekend to write the letter, collect it on Monday (or stalk them at their home) and rush-mail it. I just realized that my teacher hasn't contacted me about the completed letter. So I'm the one that's screwed. Let me get on that....</p>
<p>Oh, and good luck! I hope to meet you in December!</p>
<p>Well I got the teacher to do it... but i'm getting the letter sent Monday afternoon, so basically i'm cutting it off until the last minute.</p>
<p>I'm worried about having my transcript and test scores sent in time. I turned them into my school Tuesday, but I don't think it's going to be sent and received in time.</p>
<p>I got everything from the school directly--the letter, counselor signature, transcript--and put it in a big envelope to mail overnight from the post office. Can you get a copy of your test scores and transcript, include them in this way, and write a note saying the official versions are on their way?</p>
<p>Ehhh I decided not to apply. I didn't even qualify because i'm top 30% and 29 on ACT. They want either 25 on ACT and top 5%, or 31 on ACT and top 20%. I hate being in a tough class :(</p>
