<p>I'm applying for both a full-ride academic achievement/leadership scholarship offered by the school I'm going to and a financial need/leadership scholarship offered by a different organization. The average high school GPA for the school I'm going to is 3.1, and the average ACT is a 21. I'm also in-state.</p>
<p>My GPA is really bringing me down...it's a 3.42 unweighted, 3.55 weighted (only AP classes are weighted), and that's the main reason I'm doubting that I'll get scholarships. My ACT was a 30, but I'm retaking it in February and hoping for a 32, and my EFC is a 0.</p>
<p>My extra curriculars are:
- Teacher's aide for religious ed for one year, and I help teach the younger classes for dance sometimes
- Irish dance. Two 1.5 hour classes a week, 20 performances per year, 15 competitions per year, over 100 medals, competed in Midwest championship, and I practice about 7 hours per week. I'm also in two groups at my dance school: one is for leadership, and the other is the best dancers in the school for performances.
- Violin/Fiddle. I play violin for church every Sunday and practice with the church choir 3 hours a week. For fiddle, I attend Irish music sessions 4 hours per week, compete 15 times per year, have over 20 medals, competed in Midwest championships twice, participated in Federation of Music and got a Superior, have a 30 minute class a week, and practice about 6 hours per week
-Piano. I was in the Federation of Music twice and got a Superior both times. I have a 30 minute class every week and practice on my own about 6 hours per week.</p>
<p>Also, I'm going to be starting college at 16 (two years early) if adding that would help with scholarships. It's also one of the reasons my GPA is lower, since I had to take extra classes and didn't have much time to bring my GPA up since I skipped my Junior year.</p>
<p>Sorry about this, I'm just worried about not getting any scholarships since I REALLY need them.</p>
