What are my chances on getting into Spelman and Clark Atlanta along with getting a presidential scholarship from each school?
I currently have a 3.8 weighted GPA and the school's average freshman GPA for Spelman is 3.9 and a 2.7 for Clark. I have at the least 100 community service hours but maybe closer to 200. I would plan on majoring in physics with a mechanical engineering dual degree so I have many STEM extracurriculars. I have leadership positions and I'm active in my community. I'm a junior so I don't have to write my essay just yet but I think the idea I have for it is pretty good. By my senior year I will have 10-12 APs and 5-7 honors. I'll have 4 years plus AP Spanish credit and 2 years of Chinese. I have research hours and awards in competitions. I'm pretty sure I could get in but I'm not to sure of my chances on getting good scholarships. Not sure if this matters but I would also double major in fashion and double minor in Japanese and game design/development.

My career question is if there is an intermediate parent (My mother) that has been diagnosed with epilepsy, are there any scholarships that will help me get through my career of being a Marine Biologist?
Since 2012 my mother have been diagnosed with epilepsy. Its the worst feeling to see the most important person in your life in need of help and you cant help them. Every since then me and my mother grew close and I have been the mother of the house because I'm the oldest out of three children ( I have two younger brothers). I have balanced school, after school activities, being the head of the house and still manage to do what I need to do to get thus far. Now that I'm a junior in high school, with good grades, and a plan for my career, I'm starting to think about college. However, the only thing that's holding me back is the health of my mother. I don't want to leave my mother alone just to focus on myself when she can't help herself now. I really need some assistant on finding scholarships to help me through college. #college #scholarships #marine-biology #hbcu
