I will be applying to TAMU Engineering this summer and have a question about applying for the Brown Foundation Scholarship…
I did not prepare as much as I should have for the NMSQT as I did not realize the opportunities a good score would open for me. I have a 216 selection index in Texas, so I predict I will get National Merit Commended but not semifinalist.
However I did study a lot for my SAT and got a 1580…
Is there any way I could write a letter, appeal, or try and get considered for the scholarship even without semifinalist?
I have pretty good extracurriculars, internship, engineering projects, and I think I would have a decent chance of being considered for the scholarship if I could just make it past the NMS screening.
I don’t expect to be able to do anything or to be granted an exception, but it seems like it might be worth a try?
