Please report if there are any AES scholarship notifications.
If you are admitted by the end of November, you’ll probably get to know mid-December.
I got admitted 23 Nov .I hope to get the AES but I’m not sure when I’ll be notified.
Any notifications yet?
The first round of notifications is not scheduled to be released until mid December
Today 12/13/2016, under Accept/Decline awards, I see new record that says
2018 University of Texas at Dallas Award access not available.
Not sure what means… why i can’t view details.
Yeah! Exactly the same thing for me too. @MakeMeDoctor
My son received his notification today. He received the distinction award. He is going to email the AES department and ask for a review to get it upgraded to the honors award.
I received AES distinction today. I think the good recs, essay, and GPA compensated my below average SAT score.
@sigche what is the basis for the review? Does he have more recent higher test scores? What are his current scores?
@3scoutsmom
SAT score - 1470
ACT - 31
Rank 2 out of 593
GPA 3.92
multiple 4 and 5’s on AP tests
many awards and extracurricular activities
multiple recommendation letters from teachers and counselor
He wants them to review for honors award because of rank and GPA and all of the other listed above
Let us know if he gets it adjusted! From what I heard there are far fewer Honors awards given.
Wait is over… I received AES Honors
@MakeMeDoctor what are your stats?
SAT score - 1560
Weighted GPA 5.05
NMSC Commended
Decent extracurricular including Eagle scout
Did you guys receive via mail or through the portal?
@MakeMeDoctor @saitan did your award go back to - award access not available on the galaxy portal? My son said his did. Everything that was their before he said went away.
@delilahxc my son said he saw it on the galaxy portal
Thank you! That’s good to know. I was beginning to get very concerned that nothing came in the mail today given that my son’s stats are definitely similar to others posted. I will have my son check his portal when he gets home from his run
@delilahxc
My son said everything is back the way it was this morning. So I don’t know if the system is messed up. I don’t think they would take the award away.
