Presidential Scholar and optional writing test

<p>Is the optional writing part of the ACT needed when being considered for the Presidential Scholar award? I was just wondering, since I haven't heard a definitive answer on this...</p>

<p>no clue. </p>

<p>Do you know what the cutoff for Presidential Scholar is? (with ACT)</p>

<p>It is most likely a 36/2400.</p>

<p>will only a 36 get u into consideration for presidential scholar?</p>

<p>My brother got 1570/1600 on the SAT and got it. So, 35 could do it. I think it depends on state right? The competition is probably tighter now. that was 4 years ago.</p>

<p>well I'm from NY haha so I need a 36...and I thought the consideration for SAT was out of 1600?</p>

<p>hmm well i read that 2600 people get invited but according to statistics from last year, only about 250 kids get 2400</p>
