Got in today for Political Science with a 21k/yr Trustee Scholarship. Applied sometime in November.

UW GPA of 2.9 (yep)
1990 single score SAT
29 single score ACT
Took AP US History junior year, now in AP Gov and AP Euro for my senior year
Went to one of the better public high schools in the country (top 25 I want to say)
2 year job of lifeguarding/swim instructor at my local YMCA
Participated in the YMCA Model UN program junior and now senior year
Also did Youth and Government program junior and now senior year
Got confirmed at my local church
Tons of service hours, helped out a lot at my food pantry in particular
Finally I was the recipient of a life-saving liver transplant in 7th grade and missed practically the entire year

My GPA is crap because I miss a lot of school and whatnot but I like to think my SAT and ACT scores show I’m not dumb as a brick and I tried to help out when I could. Anyway, good luck to everyone else and I was certainly not expecting a scholarship especially for that much. For reference I also got deferred from Tulane, rejected from Boston College and accepted in to George Mason (no scholarship… yet?)
