<p>foundnemo: I know....5 essays??? Oh well....the honor is sure worth the work ;)</p>
<p>are the SAT scores they use just single sitting? They don't consider highest of each at all? sigh...</p>
<p>I got it as well today...if you get the award (which I highly doubt I will), do you get to meet the President?</p>
<p>Highest scores in a single sitting.</p>
<p>Samp0320: I think so.....LOL</p>
<p>A total of 2600 students in the 50 states have been invited to apply. Approximately 20 males and 20 females per state. Then 400 semifinalists will be chosen, and 141 award will be actually given. More essays and deadlines, lol, just when you thought you were done.</p>
<p>I know. Hey, do we tell the teacher we found "most inspirational" that we put them down? What if they can't make the ceremony (on the off chance that we win LOL :))?</p>
<p>I told mine :)</p>
<p>Let's see...</p>
<p>5 essays
-2 that I wrote for MIT
-1 that I wrote for Stanford</p>
<p>Yessss, only 2 essays plus modifications plus the teacher thing.</p>
<p>1 / ~34 males from PA = 2.9% chance of getting this...great :-)</p>
<p>Did everyone mail in their Presidential Scholars paperwork? It should go today/tomorrow, in oredr to be received by the deadline of Feb.17.</p>
<p>What did you guys do for the "inspiritional picture" of a person/thing? That was the toughest one for my daughter. Drove her nuts.</p>
<p>Yes, I sent mine in Federal Express guarenteed delivery on Wednesday. I used President Bush for my inspirational picture and talked mostly about working on his campaign in the essay.</p>
