How, when, and why do we get college scholarships?
about my grades. I have Bs and As. Bs are not that great for me. I am striving to get into Harvard Medical School. But,
my parents don’t have that much money. I was wondering how,
when, and why we get scholarships. If you had a scholarship
from harvard that will be great. If you had any scholarship…good! Please tell me what i have to do and in
which grade, the scholarships will effect me. Will As and Bs
get me in? (please, no rude coments or answers.)
Thank u!

but i’m not sure though.
you should ask a counselor or your history/language arts teacher for more informations.
i hope you achieve that goal!
I hate to be a buzz kill, but it’s not practical to think you’re going to be getting a huge scholarship from harvard if you’re already getting B’s in middle school. I got straight A’s till high school, where I got probaby three B’s total, the rest were
A’s.
What you can be doing now is plotting your path. Colleges still rely on the SAT and the ACT standardized tests as measurements of your academic abilities. But, just as important to many colleges is the rigor of your coursework in high school. The admissions officers want to see that you’ve taken Honors courses, advanced placement courses and that you have pursued a balanced curriculum with language and literature, foreign language, sciences and math.
Colleges are also looking at many more applications due to the advances in technology. All of the things that you do on an extra-curricular basis are important to your college application. Sports, community service, honor society, musical activities, being involved in a church or temple, have merit. But don’t just take my word for it. If you are as serious as you sound, go to the College Board website and poke around. There is a whole section on planning for college beginning with 20 questions to ask your guidance counselor and how to make the most of your high school years.
There are plenty of resources on the internet and I direct you to a scholarship database and the College Board website.
