Alright so I know there was a thread about this last year so I searchbarred to see if there was one for this year and didn't find anything so I thought I'd start it up. My bad if there is already one.

Just got my first one from UVM today. Pretty excited.

Who else got in where?

Because we're proud that our hard work has paid off? It's like kids posting their new skis and gear, is it necessary? No, but people like to show off. And by saying that it just means that the school is below you academically you make it sound like it's a bad thing to get a scholarship. Paying for college isn't easy and many people myself included are willing to go to a school that isn't up to their full potential to help their family and themselves.

exactly... because i feel that i did fairly well in school for the past 4 years, (even though my grades were awful for my ethnic standards), but i did well on tests, and now that ive been rewarded for it, im pretty glad about it being a big accomplishment in life. wouldnt you be stoked if you won some skis at a rail jam or something?

We are proud of our accomplishments, in no way are we trying to rub it in anyone else's faces, is I am, I am sorry.
I understand your point of the college being "below" the college academically, but some people might need that extra offer of money in order for them to go to a quality college. I personally am extremely thankful that I have gotten a scholarship to each school that I have applied to, but would love to go to some other schools potentially.

There is really no such thing as a college below someones academic level, when your at a college you can make the experience whatever you want it to be whether you work really hard or not. Not all people try to go to the highest ranked college that they possibly can, they try to find a place they feel comfortable. Scholarships help a lot of kids out that otherwise may not have gone to college because of economic reasons. Just my opinion

Seriously? If so that is sick, as it is impossible to get in there.

I applied with, I don't have amazing stats, but I am banking on a connection that I have there.

The only time the dining hall was good was when Simpson had the Christmas buffet haha.  So many kids claiming scholarships, don't expect that from UVM. My sister got like $10 grand this year and they took it away becasue "it was given to her as a mistake".  What bullshit.  Other than the price, UVM is the best place to be.

My 1500 SAT score was out of 1600, which is what most colleges look at, not the 2400 score. Are you taking APs?

Your SAT is by no means bad, AT ALL, but school seems to place a ton of emphasis on the standardized tests.  So a really good SAT score (like 1500) will carry you a very long way.
Congrats on the scholarship to DU, I got one too, just not near that high.
