<p>Ok, here's the scoop. I'm a senior in high school this year, and am wondering what my chances of getting into the honors program and/or receiving merit scholarships are. Information on the National Scholars program would be great! I want to major in engineering</p>

<p>GPA=4.0 unweighted
I'm pretty much guaranteed to be the valedictorian
SAT I=1500 With writing=2190 (730 math)(770 verbal)(690 writing)
ACT=34
I'm going to be a National Merit 'something'
I'll graduate with 6 science credits(AP Chem. and Bio. the rest are honors)
5.5 Math credits (AP Calculus, College Algebra, rest honors)
3 yrs foreign language (1 yr honors)
4 yrs english (2honors, 1 AP, 1 yr college english 1301,1302)
4 yrs social studies</p>

<p>My school lets us take dual-credit courses through an area college, so I'll graduate with college English 1301 and 1302, Economics, Government, Psychology, Algebra, and US History.</p>

<p>I also participate in athletics and have made it to regionals in cross country and track.</p>

<p>In addition, I do UIL academics. I've made it to regionals in a host of events every year, and this year I got third place at state in Science, my team was second, and i was second in chemistry. I've also made it to state in debate for the last three years. And so on, and so forth....</p>

<p>You shouldn't have a problem getting in and getting an admit to Honors. The National Scholar program is highly selective. My guess is you would be in the pool considered to be invited for an interview. But who knows if you would be one of the 40 or so invitees. Apply early and don't hesitate to contact the Honors College & National Scholars program. I don't know if contacting them will help, but it can't hurt. My son is in his 2nd year as a National Scholar and we can't say enough good things about it. Good Luck</p>
