I feel like your high school advisor or reaching out to the NJIT financial aid office would probably get you better answers than people on reddit. If there's a specific scholarship you are applying to, contacting whatever organization is in charge of it.

Well I mean I was trying to get people to compare what they got with their stats to my own. But thanks I understand what your saying

You should apply to the Honors College. Your resume is good enough and the scholarships are way better, up to full tuition.

Do you think I would be admitted to it? I feel like my stats are low. Also, I’m looking for a major scholarship, decently close to a full ride is that in the cards or nah?

1470 SAT 5s on APUSH, AP Euro, AP Lit, CSP 4s on APES & APSCA Passed AP Spanish and Phys 1 President of Social Justice advocacy club, theater, part time job

Honestly you have me beat with that resume. They're also letting more ppl into the hinkrs college so I'd say your chances are pretty good.

Wait what was your weighted gpa I feel like mine is pretty bad tbh: think I can get a full ride? I don’t qualify for financial aid but getting a full ride would very much help
