Does anybody know how many extracurricular activities you need to be considered a competitive applicant for the Loran Award? The application form has tons of lines under category and I only have a few under each section, yet my commitment to each is very in depth. Do you I would still be considered?

Joshua, again, along with Ellie and Stephen, thank you for writing this article, it really helped me along the way of the Loran interview as well! This was an excellent article and you were great in helping calm down some of the nerves that we all had.

I was also awarded the Loran Award, and I have a feeling I know who Ellie, Stephen and Peter are in real life =P.

Joshua,

I also found this article extremely helpful. If you pay close attention throughout the interview process, you learn that honesty and sincerity is key. And it really is. This article, like Ellie said, helped me secure the Loran Scholarship.

Thanks Joshua!
