<p>list published tomorrow around noon Eastern (i called their office)</p>
<p>The list is online NOW Presidential</a> Scholars Program</p>
<p>If your name is on the list and you have received the application package, please send me a private message. Our mail is S - L - O - W. I still have Christmas presents that have not arrived. Please help me out with what's in the package. (NO competition here- I'm not from your state if you are from a state!) Thanks!</p>
<p>Yayyyy I'm on it!! As are two good friends and a few acquaintances and a bunch of other people from our county. My county's (public, TYVM) schools are awesome. :D</p>
<p>SWEET!!! im on it!</p>
<p>Wow! I can't believe it! My son is on the list - wow. just wow.</p>
<p>There have been so many years of teachers in the public schools saying things like "oh, he's just a good reader. That evens out by the time they reach third grade" Well, that's a rant for the Parent's forum ;) </p>
<p>Congratulations to all you hard-working, super bright kids! I hope you all get into the schools of your choice with big, fat scholarships to go with!</p>
<p>I got it!!!! Does this factor at all into admissions? :P</p>
<p>ever get a response from Presidential Scholars and ACT about the possible discrimination against ACT takers because of the conversion formula?</p>
<p>I think this is a potentially serious question.</p>
<p>agh premature post... when do we find out if we are the top 20?</p>
<p>There are no scholarships connected to these-just a trip to DC and the honor. The first round is based on SAT score only.</p>
<p>Do any colleges offer scholarships if we win our state?</p>
<p>Let's put it this way, if you win your state you'd need to have so many honors and achievements that I would be amazed if you weren't eligible for quite a few scholarships on your own. No, I don't think there are any scholarships specifically linked to the Presidential Scholarship.</p>
<p>yes i finally got the envelope today.:)</p>
<p>This thing is huge....</p>
<p>See what I mean?</p>
<p>Poseur: congratulations :) And, no, the cutoffs are not that high for every state. I'm also on the list and I have a 1520. It's kind of like National Merit: the bigger the talent pool, the more competitive the pool of students is.</p>
<p>holy crap I don't feel like answering all these questions =(
I did well on the SATs... why must I be tortured for my accomplishments?</p>
<p>same here Saturn...its exhausting!!!!</p>
<p>How long are your answers to the self assessment section? HOw long is your main essay?</p>
<p>bump!!! i want to reuse one of mine but it leaves a good 8000 characters left. why would they have a 10,700 character limit? do they expect people to fill it up or are they just setting a really high ceiling so people can write essays as long or as short as they want?</p>
