<p>If anybody has received the Presidential merit scholarship would you please share your GPA, SAT's, class rank, etc, and what the date was that you were notified...and with your acceptance letter or after?</p>
<p>My son is a Presidential Scholar. He loves Trinity. He finished his first semester at Trinity with an approximate GPA of 4.08 (A+, A, A, A).</p>
<p>GPA=4.0 unweighted.
ACT=35
Class rank=1/450
Captain, varsity baseball
AP Scholar with Distinction (just shy of National AP Scholar)
Dual enrollment coursework at local research university included:
Differential Equations
Calculus III
Linear Algebra
Modern Physics</p>
<p>Hope this helps.</p>
<p>When are the applicants notified of the award?</p>
<p>I believe he received his notification around the traditional time period, probably late March.</p>
<p>I'm a bit confused as to how this whole thing works. If acceptances are sent out on/about April 1, how is it that financial aid notifications are available before that date? Is this what likely letters are about? Thanks for trying to clear up the muddiness of the water!!</p>
<p>PhysicsTeacher, I think I know who your son is! He was in my class in Mechanics last sem.</p>
