I have been taking dual-enrollment classes at Ohio State for the past two years, so while I haven’t taken too many AP courses I have been challenging myself with the hardest schedule available.
ECs: not much I have volunteered with various organizations in the past but not habitually</p>

<p>Hope this helps anyone still waiting wondering if the will get an invite and everyone next year as well!!! I will let you all know how the weekend goes and the results!</p>

<p>Could those who have gotten the email invites today please let us know what time those emails arrived? Wondering if they were all sent at once or whether they’re going out in waves, with more possibly still to come.</p>

<p>@Chwwhc I received mine at 4:34 pm eastern time zone</p>

<p>our daughter got 22k presidential and a singer invite in the mail the same day the main acceptance package arrived but in a separate envelope. email also arrived today. 32 ACT, 32.5 superscore. no class rank but a top prep school.</p>

<p>@midwesternboy - which weekend were you invited to attend - the Stamps (first weekend on March 2nd) or the Singer (second weekend, perhaps the 23rd)?</p>

<p>@eaglegirl - thanks so much - next year’s kids will find all these stats very helpful in gauging their chances : )</p>

<p>Oops - I just realized that I made a mistake with the different time zones. I got mine at 4:34 eastern time as well. They were probably all sent at once.</p>

<p>email arrived at 4:36 PM (eastern) for Stamps/Singers on March 1/2</p>

<p>^Chwwhc I received mine at 4:48 pm eastern time zone</p>

<p>D received Singer/Stamps invite. ACT 35 superscore (33x2) English major. Difficult prep school that doesn’t rank beyond top 10% 24K presidential </p>

<p>Flights are booked.</p>

<p>D’s email for S/S invite arrived at 3:32 central time.</p>

<p>Has anyone RSVP’d yet?</p>

<p>can’t RSVP until Feb 6th. But as advised elsewhere in this thread RSVP promptly as spaces are limited (I don’t understand how they can limit spaces…)</p>

<p>Did anyone try to RSVP? There was discussion in our family on why the link is active (or perhaps it won’t let you submit until Feb. 6th) – are they trying to see if we follow directions (and wait until Feb. 6th before RSVPing)? They said not to book hotel or flights until you receive confirmation from them.</p>

<p>It is weird to invite more people than you can accommodate.</p>

<p>D received e-mail 4:32 pm eastern, no post mail yet. OOS WI.
Invite to Singer/Stamps 3/1.

<p>I wrote a looong trip report (a FIVE parter since I wrote it over the course of several days) last year about Stamps Scholarship Weekend and can dig up the link if anyone would like to slog through it : )</p>

<p>Illinois Mom 93: Yes please that would be very helpful.</p>
