<p>Congrats chillin2013! I’m in ny also, no package today, hopefully tm since that’s when the postal calculator said it would arrive assuming I get a package. Do you mind sharing your stats? I’m worried about my act score but i feel like the rest of my app plus my essays and recs might get me a finalist spot. I have a 33 super score so maybe that’s just wishful thinking?</p>

<p>Anyone from the Midwest region get a presidential scholars letter?</p>
<p>I got my presidential scholars letter yesterday!! I live in MA pretty close to BC so don’t lose hope yet if you live farther away. I only had a 33 on the ACT so I didn’t expect it, but I’m pretty excited!</p>
<p>Good to know, thank you!</p>
<p>Did any of you guys have any wording mentioning sending them semester grades? I was accepted early action and I’m not sure if they want my semester grades or final grades… The letter I got said nothing about the end of my senior year in regards to grades</p>
<p>neither did mine damond, but I was poking around on my agora(or maybe it was in my acceptance package, can’t remember) and came across a table of sorts with dates that they expect you to submit your final grades by. i think it was july 1st for final transcript</p>
<p>For any of you who received the letter, which weekend is it?</p>
