IceBoxx, I received the same $10,000/yr scholarship and have similar stats.

2180 SAT, 790/780/690 SAT II, 4.47 gpa (w), NMFinalist and tons of extra-curriculars.

I was hoping to at least get nominated for the Chancellor’s Scholarship but when I e-mailed about that I was told:

“From a pool of nearly 2000 scholarship recipients, roughly 800 students are nominated to compete for the Chancellor’s Scholarship. Those students receiving a nomination typically rank in the top 4% of their high school class, have SAT scores in excess of 1500, and are involved in a myriad of extracurricular activities.”

My SAT score (w/o writing) was only 1420 because of my darn math score. So about 40% were nominated – a good portion but still not a majority – so I guess I can’t feel too bad.

Anyways, Iceboxx, best of luck at UCLA. UCSD would have been cheaper for me but I really wanted to go OOS for college and just fell in love with Pitt. The cost is still do-able for my family thanks to a few outside scholarships.
