<p>you might even be considered for Pres Scholarship which is top 25-30 in honors after interview. This scholarship is full tuition,R & BD, books and I think there are partial scholarships also.</p>
<p>I believe the cutoff for Presidential Scholarship consideration is 1400 SAT and the average SAT of those awarded is much higher (1500+). You can find the exact info on UB’s website.</p>
<p>Yeah, Presidential is 1470 SAT or 33 ACT, plus 95 unweighted high school average. If one uses the College Board scale (not sure if this is what Honors uses or not), a 3.62 unweghted is around a 90.</p>
<p>According to the admissions website, last year the mean SAT for Presidential was 1503 and average was 98 unweighted.</p>
<p>And as far as I know, there is no interview for the Presidential Scholarship. Unless it changed since I got it two years ago, there were 2 essays and submission of a HS writing piece required, no interview though.</p>
<p>You’d likely get the Provost Scholarship though ($3k/year, I believe).</p>
