I have taken a lot of ‘honors’ classes during my four years, but I have never taken an AP class. I really never saw the need until this Fall, so I was too late. I understand the rigors of AP courses and how they prepare you for college, but I feel I am just as smart/smarter than those who are in those classes.

I played school sports for two years (Baseball and Football), but I decided to get a job instead (avg 20hr a week) and play in unorganized/semi-organized leagues. I have racked up about 80 hours of community service. Two of my math teachers wrote me letters of rec, since I considered that would be crucial if applying for a Comp Sci major.

I also selected the Corps of Cadets lifestyle option, so the university waived my application fee. Please let me know if I have a chance at getting in, and if I do what kind of merit scholarship I may be eligible for. Appreciate it, and good luck to all the other aspiring Hokies!
