I'm a college sophomore at Colorado School of Mines. I have a 3.76 gpa, and enough credits to make me a junior. As of next semester I will have completed almost all of my technical prereqs (calc/phys/chem/statics/econ/etc.). I have four years of work experience, three in a grocery store as a manager, one as a traffic control flagger, but no research experience. I was HS valedictorian and 29act (doubt they consider those). I'm not in, or plan on being in, any clubs/sports/organizations etc. (besides choir which isn't applicable). My major is undeclared right now but It will be engineering, either mechanical or electrical, probably EE.
As low as my GPA is and without any research experience, would this even be worth the several hours for me to fill out the application? I'm aware of the conditions (full tuition, no r&b, summer internships, 1yr service per yr aid). Give me some honest feedback because we all know how time consuming these apps are!
Much Thanks!
