Yep; I had to pay $14 to rush mail it too! :p</p>

Yep. majorly burned out right now haha. april seems ages away for notification</p>

<p>i know, seriously. i'm exhausted tooo</p>

<p>Does anyone know the cutoff points for each of the states and the americans abroad?</p>

<p>I know for california the sat cutoff was 1600. a friend of mine tells me that for alaska it's about 1540. so it varies.</p>

<p>Geez, more essays than a college app!! So what happens if you make the next cut and become a finalist? Is there any scholarship money?</p>

<p>I heard you get $3000. Maybe that's just wishful thinking.</p>

<p>"This is not a monetary scholarship. Students chosen as Presidential Scholars receive an expense-paid trip to Washington, DC in the summer, during which they meet with government officials, educators, authors, musicians, scientists and other accomplished people. During the week, scholars have the opportunity to visit museums and monuments, and to attend recitals, receptions and ceremonies. To commemorate their achievement, the Scholars are awarded the Presidential Scholars medallion at a ceremony sponsored by the White House."</p>

Nope...I'm too cynical to believe that I'd get picked to be one of two from my state that gets the award. hehe, that, and I just didn't feel like doing it</p>
