Although I have very good extracurriculars and honors, my GPA is quite low at a 3.81 unweighted ranking me 73/700 in my class. I do have valid reasons behind it though. In a better light, however, I’m graduating with 17 AP classes under my belt and a weighted GPA close to 4.4/5.0.
Let me know y’alls thoughts!
What qualifications do you have for a Gates scholarship ?
With respect to the Coca-Cola scholarship award, I encourage you to review Coke’s website which lists the award recipients and their backgrounds.
Based on the information shared in your post above, I do not think that you are a competitive applicant for either award.
Any community service ?
Background history of being disadvantaged ?
Hi! Sorry for my late response.
I have strong community service leadership which I think makes me competitive. I can DM you my qualifications if you’d like.
Community service: I got hundreds of community service hours per year .
I’m low-income, a person of color, and LGBTQ+
No need to DM. If I recall correctly, Coca-Cola really focuses on the community service qualifications of the applicants.
I really hope that you are successful !!!
Thank you so much!!!
Do you qualify for Questbridge? If you’re low income, you may want to check it out:
