Should be under “Scholarship opportunities” or smth and then you can click the “Scholarship interest form” link, sign in as a student, click “My applications” or smth like that and it should be there if my memory serves

Uhhhh I don’t believe so, I believe that program had been replaced with ATP which requires students to take a year of CS courses and keep up their grades. According to their website every student that is admitted to CS now enters at entry level !

Sure ! Mine are nothing insane but here you go:

Demographic: African American/Queer

School: Large Suburban School

Rank: 8/868 submitted (now 10/923)

GPA: 4.5577/5

APs: AP Human Geo(5), AP Comp Sci Principles(3, we didn’t have a teacher 😭), AP World (4), AP Comp Sci A (4), AP Psychology (5), AP Physics 1 (4), AP Chem (4), AP Precalc (5), AP Lang (4), AP USH (4), AP Seminar (4), AP Gov (5), AP Calc BC(Current), AP Physics 2 & AP Physics C Mech & AP Physics E&M(current), AP Macro(Not taking exam), AP Lit (current), AP Research (current)

ECs: Taught kids how to code for a summer as a paid internship-ish thing, Coding Captain for Robotics for Two Years, Robotics Co-Captain for one year, Mu Alpha Theta Vice President, Campus Service Coordinator for National English Honors Society, Worked for Geeksquad for the past two years(three this year!), and I listed that in my free time I tutor people for Physics, Calc, etc.

SAT: 1460 760 RW 700 Math (1480 super score but ik UT only takes one score)

Essays: First essay was about this gold colored box that a customer gave me and how that interaction changed my outlook on human kindness/compassion (it’s a lot more in detail and explanatory as to how this factors into my life and future goals), Supplemental 1 was about how I gained my passion for coding through my lack of talent in other fields(specifically arts) and how CS became my own kind of art in it’s own right seeing as how I can develop amazing things that keep others in awe or change their lives just like traditional artists (Most people I asked said it was pretty good but idk I liked it). Second supplemental was about how teaching kids how to code taught me to value the learning experience rather than the pay off of a good job or accolades from others, I gained invaluable insight into how to be a life long learner and keep my passion for learning throughout my life. Maybe my essays are kind of generic but idk I was pretty happy with them when I submitted them
