Presidential Scholars (high ACT/SAT)

Test Preparation SAT Preparation

<p>I see now that the YoungArts program does not cater to my skills.</p>

22

<p>i’m a presidential scholar this year and my SAT was a mere 2350 (800/800/750).
not sure if it’s already been established, but my appallingly low score on the writing section pretty much confirms that writing is not considered. :)</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>That’s an understatement if I ever saw one.</p>

24

<p>are an equal number of ACT/ SAT students selected? I noticed that for a big state such as Pennsylvania, there were only 6 perfect scores (142-144) on the ACT and I’m assuming that there were many more perfect or near-perfect scores for the SAT since the ACT isn’t a very popular test outside of the midwest.</p>

<p>hang on…what is Presidential Scholars?</p>

<p>Does it look good on college apps?</p>

<p>Can you use a superscore to get the 1600?</p>

26

<p>No superscoring for the Presidential Scholars program. The way they handle ACT/SAT is this: first convert SAT to ACT sum, then rank everyone by actual or calculated ACT sum. I know that 1590 CR + M is converted to ACT 140. However, I believe that 1600 CR + M is treated as equivalent in effect to ACT 144.</p>

Nevermind haha, I thought he made some typo and was asking whether a 139/36 was enough. (I had no clue you add up subscores)</p>

<p>And what’s even funnier, I also have a 139. No clue whether that’s enough though.</p>

28

<p>For what it’s worth, I had a 2360 in Missouri (800/780/780) and I got it.</p>

<p>What is the young arts program that silverturtle spoke of?</p>

<p>

I don’t find that hard to believe. There are several states that I can think of which probably don’t have enough 1600s and 1590s to fill the nominations.</p>

31

<p>she :). And also, then I’m guessing a 2370 is better than a 35 (139)?</p>

33

<p>Will an ACT 36 still qualify if it’s a 35/36/35/36 breakdown?</p>

34

<p>Does anyone know where I can find the ACT cutoffs?</p>

35

<p>It doesn’t really help on college applications because it comes too late in the year. It also doesn’t provide money (other than a trip to DC). Those facts, plus all the essays you have to write, discourage some qualifiers from applying. It’s worth doing, though.</p>

<p>When do the letters for these get sent out?</p>
