Hey! I applied to study Arabic in Jordan. I'm also waiting to hear back from the Critical Language Scholarship soon, so I'm hoping I manage to get at least one of the two somehow. If I don't get the first one, I won't find out about Boren until probably around two weeks before I'm supposed to graduate which will definitely be stressful. Did any other seniors apply for a Boren Scholarship this year?
@TristinS I think if your essays are good & if you showed a lot of promise and interest in the program and government service, they'll take that into account and they won't hold extracurriculars against you too much because they know you're young! And if you don't happen to get it this year, and you apply again another year, I think they would definitely take your early interest in it as a sign of a strong application.
