My son was accepted with Presidential Scholarship from NY!
SAT 1530
UW GPA 3.9/W 4.3
5 APs completed/2 current APs
ECs are mostly music
Does anyone know when financial aid comes out?
@Stgmom, no to your question about NMSF or NHRS, but my son has won some prestigious national music awards, which could have been what tipped the scales in his favor.
@lkbux64 Since his SAT scores are terrific I wondered if he was NM too. Congrats again! I bet he’s so excited!
I got in from CA.
31 ACT (single sitting), 3.8/4 UW & 4.2/4 W
Didn’t visit, but interviewed and demonstrated interest.
Strong ECs and took many AP classes.
No word on merit aid.

I got my letter today, I was deferred. I live in NJ. I don’t think the decision is on the portal for people not seeing.
@Leigh22 Funny, I wanted my NJ sons to apply last year but they said school size was too small. Someone from our town recommended Richmond. Campus sounds nice but our VA college visit was UVA, their choice.
