Can we get some stats on Scholarship Finalists?

<p>Compton finalist here. I actually don’t know if I’m going to fly out for the interview, though - I don’t really have that much interest in going to WUSTL, and my family is low enough income that full tuition wouldn’t reduce the cost very much.</p>

<p>Copied and pasted from another thread, with appropriate changes:</p>

<p>Stats:</p>

<pre><code>* SAT: 2280 (800 CR, 770 M, 710 W)

  • SAT II: 800 Math 2, 800 Physics, 800 Chemistry, 750 US History, 540 Japanese (shouldn’t have attempted this . . .)
  • GPA: I’m homeschooled. For my independent study classes, my parents basically grade me (they gave me all A’s). I’ve also taken a LOT of college classes and gotten all A’s in those.
  • Rank: 1 out of 1 . . .
  • Other Tests (AMC, AP, IB): A lot of math competitions. Best AMC series: AMC 12 130.5, AIME 9, USAMO 11
    </code></pre>

<p>Subjective</p>

<pre><code>* Essays: Sort of weird and not well edited, but conveyed my passion for math well.

  • Teacher Recs: One from math team coach - excellent. One from Mathcamp instructor - probably excellent
  • Hook(recruited athlete, legacy, Nobel Prize): Homeschooled? I’m not sure what influence that has.

  • Awards: Math competition stuff - USAMO Qualifier, Tiebreakers at ARML, first tier Mandelbrot . . .
