<p>Hey there,</p>

<p>You sound like a pretty good student with some great EC’s and accolades. It sounds like you’re really into studio art, so if you’re thinking about continuing that study in college I would suggest submitting an art supplement. </p>

<p>Because you have a strong GPA and ACT score, I’d suggest applying for the JES scholarship. It requires you to submit your app by Nov. 1st and it’s very competitive, but it’s definitely worth it, even if you only make it as far as “finalist,” because in February the school flies out roughly 150 finalists to spend a few days at the school interacting with faculty and students, eating at the dining hall etc. And since you’d be coming from Madison that would be a great way to visit on the cheap if you haven’t made it out here to visit yet.</p>
