<p>So how did you guys do with the applications? Did everyone get in before the deadline? </p>
<p>Personally, my school’s principal let me skip all my classes today as long as I stayed in the building and worked on the app until it was done. My essays were already pretty much finished, so it was just entering activities and simple logistical stuff.</p>
<p>what sat/act scores are needed to become a candidate?</p>
<p>Since they pick out the top from each state, a perfect or very-near perfect 1600 SAT is needed (CR+M). I would guess that if you’re in a giant state, like CA, a 1600 would definitely be required. I would assume a 36 for the ACT (maybe 35 in smaller states?).</p>
<p>I got mine in before the deadline. I didn’t even realize this thread was going.
Anybody else find the format of the ‘Activities’ section difficult?</p>
<p>2 days… 10char</p>
<p>Is it definite that the semifinalists are announced on the 9th?</p>
<p>Last year they announced on the 9th, but that was a Monday so we are hoping it is tomorrow. I haven’t seen anything other than the original statement of “early April”.</p>
<p>Apparently its not today…</p>
<p>Has anyone tried calling and asking if they have a date planned for the release?</p>
<p>Received and email reply today that the semi-finalists will be named on Monday, April 15</p>
<p>The list of PSP semifinalists is online:</p>
