Up, up, a little bit higher
Oh, my, the moon is on fire
Good-by
Err...
My understanding is it's a scholarship you can apply to the school you're going to, not a specific school itself.
As for GPA and community service, good things to watch for early, especially GPA since it is cumulative, so you don't want the As you get as a junior to be weighed down by the Cs you got as a freshman, etc.
One hopes you're only coming on Oasis after your homework is done for the night. :-)
