Ds is URM, but the phrase, “outstanding academic leadership qualities and potential,” seems really subjective and vague to me. That’s the part I have trouble knowing how to evaluate.

It’s good to know that it is okay to email the schools and ask for a general range of stats for specific scholarships. That’s something I can have ds work on.

He did get into a competitive diversity summer camp at a higher ranked school and is waiting to hear from a few others. So I think he is in the running for some of these competitive scholarships at state schools, but I don’t want to be unrealistic.
