<p>So originally I was going to apply to Northeastern early. However I want to take a shot at the Torch scholarship. Is it possible to apply early and still compete for the Torch scholarship?</p>
<p>And for those who get rejected for the scholarship, they’re still considered for regular admission, right?</p>
<p>My GPA is about an 88 (lots of honors classes, couple of AP classes), I took the SAT once as a sophomore and got a 1050 Math and CR. My extras, however, are really the best thing about me. I’ve done internships on wall street, started a website on music journalism (I want to major in journalism), several leadership programs and awards, hundreds of community service hours, etc. </p>
<p>And last but not least I’m a first generation hispanic student being raised by a single disabled mother, so I think I fit the bill for Torch… right?</p>
<p>Another issue I had was that I signed up for the October SAT specifically to raise my score for Northeastern early action. However if I do not apply early, then I would rather hold off until the November test and have more time to prepare. However, it all depends on the whole Torch situation, and how that works out.</p>
