Do you think I might be eligible for full tuition? Or partial? I’m an American living abroad, so I can really juice the diversity aspect in my essay. Also, I’m doing IB, and taking as many HLs as possible. I’ve had As the past two years (I have a 3.8 because I had several low Bs in my freshman year). The main thing I’m worried about is applying so late… would that necessarily kill my chances at scholarship money?

On the application, it doesn’t really ask for ECs, just “Special Interests,” so are they not terribly important? Are we supposed to send a resume or something if we are interested in scholarship consideration?

And how many recs should we send? Since they don’t require any, I’m assuming they’d rather read as few as possible. Would 1 teacher rec be optimal?

Btw, thanks for the help so far!
