<p>I applied for a TON of scholarships!! And only got one back. Do I suck? Did I like not get any? When did most of your's get back to you? What is the average that people normally get? I don't know if I should still wait for them to get back to me or not...</p>
<p>i’m sure u don’t suck, lol. it’s just that a lot of these national scholarships have such a large pool of applicants that it takes a while to hear anything back, and most don’t tell people anything unless you made it to the finalist stage. it’s also very hard to win one of these scholarships because so many kids are applying for them (so that lowers your odds of winning…sort of like playing lotto).</p>
<p>the best scholarships to apply for are those that the university you’ve been admitted to sponsors/funds. and if your high school offers any–and it isn’t too late-- you should apply for those as well. smaller pool(s) of applicants means a much higher chance of getting one! good luck!</p>
