<p>just to add to this thread, I was also awarded the Dickinson Scholarship about a week or so ago (I was shocked but very very happy!!). I was a competitive candidate except for my ACT score was a 30 and the “cutoff” was 31. So even though I was a little bit below, I was (eventually) awarded the Dickinson scholarship (even though I emailed about it earlier and was told all scholarships for Early Action applicants had been awarded-obviously this wasn’t true). I am a white male from North Carolina.</p>
