<p>Hope this helps. We are in the Northeast.</p>
<p>Acceptance packet received in NJ today with award of Presidential Scholarship (27K per year) and admittance to Honors.</p>
<p>Son is top 1% of class with 1490/2210 SATs.</p>
<p>Congratulations to Sonny. Well done, well deserved. </p>
<p>Is AU his First Choice?</p>
<p>We live in New York State</p>
<p>Acceptance packet received in NJ today also with Presidential Scholarship (27k per year) and Honors. American is daughters first choice (Journalism) so she is very happy. We have two daughters who are 2 and 4 years behind her so we have to weigh the costs carefully. She is NMS Commended in NJ which had one of the higher cutoffs so am hoping my company scholarship (also handled by NMS) will come through also.</p>
<p>2260/2400 SAT (800 R/730 M/730 W)
I don’t have all of her stats in my head, but she has always tested very well.
She has few EC, but very consistent.
AP Scholar w/Honors (5 more AP this year)
Class rank: 15/~600</p>
<p>We will probably go to one of the two accepted students events and then get serious about her decision.</p>
<p>I also got my letter today (the envelope is blue!) in Southern California after receiving an email two day ago, and was pleasantly surprised to be given a $20k/year Dean’s Scholarship.</p>
<p>Stats:
SAT 2210 (730 CR, 740 M, 740 W)
3.7 UW, 4.15 W
Lots of extracurriculars (politics) + year-long study abroad</p>
<p>American is not my first choice, but I am nonetheless SUPER excited about the scholarship offer. Being in DC is kind of tempting because of my interest in politics, so we’ll see!</p>
<p>nope. no letter today. will have to wait till tomorrow. i live in atlanta, how are people getting acceptances in SoCal?!???</p>
