<p>My neighbor's D just got a call that she is a Presidential Scholar. She was a semi-finalist, but then didn't make the cut. She accepted admission anyway, on HOPE. Then they called yesterday and offered her a partial, plus all the other perks. Did anyone else hear late like this? Did they offer it to kids who turned them down (like the UGA Foundation had happen)?</p>
<p>There is a waiting list for PS. If there is extra scholarship money left over after the May 1st acceptance deadline, they take people off the wait-list and offer them the base level of the award until all the scholarship money for the year is used. Those not notified of being on wait-list (and those who accepted admission at another school) were not considered. To my knowledge, all scholars for this year have been notified (including those taken off the wait-list).</p>
