I really like Kenyon and would appreciate any advice/ chances of both admissions and my chance to get a Kenyon Honor Scholarship and the amount you would surmise. I have applied regular decision. I absolutely love political science and have been very active in local campaigns, even serving as the chair of the Youth Committee for a school funding issue. I go to a public school where very few have heard of Kenyon (much less applied). Only one person in the history of my school has gone there.

I am taking the hardest possible schedule for my school and am taking all four APs plus taking the AP Govt Test Independent Study.
