<p>i play 2-3 sports a year, choir, work part time, other activties, and i’m trying to volunteer more. are these enough ec’s? thanks.</p>

<p>It depends on the college. Some don’t even offer merit scholarships. Your best ways to find out info are to check the web sites of the colleges you’re considering. There you will find out financial aid and merit scholarship info. Colleges often provide profiles of students who win merit scholarships. In addition, you can contact a financial aid officer to find out if you’re the type of student who has a good chance at merit aid.</p>

<p>It is not easy to get full scholarships to college.Most colleges don’t offer full scholarships. Some may offer full tuition scholarships, but not cover room and board. The colleges that offer full scholarships usually do so only for the most desired students. </p>

<p>At public universities, this may mean top students from their states. At private universities, this may mean top students who also are from underrepresented states, underrepresented ECs or students who are top URMs.</p>

<p>When it comes to ECs, typically it’s more important to have depth (top awards, statewide or national achievements in the EC, etc.) than to have lots of ECs that one has done without attaining any kind of honors or major awards.</p>
