TTU Clark Scholars Program (2014)

<p>try from a spare anonymous email address maybe? </p>

<p>I don’t know, that’s weird. He responded to my January SAT test score, and that’s the last time I emailed him. Why would he ignore emails about confirmation? </p>

<p>Hey guys, I just got a confirmation email that said this:</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Did anyone else get such an email?</p>

<p>I just got the same email! I’m so relieved that my application actually got delivered and didn’t get lost or rejected or something like that.</p>

<p>I still haven’t got the confirmation email, yet. :frowning: </p>

<p>I have not yet received an email.</p>

<p>Me neither. I sent him an email that said “Yo dude, ■■■, where’s my confirmation email bruh?” or something to that effect. Hoping for a quick response. </p>

<p>I got a confirmation email, but not as formal as the above. It is an email from his assistant indicating my app has been received.</p>

<p>So is anybody gonna apply to more programs? If so, which ones?</p>

<p>Just received the confirmation letter! The subject is Clark Scholar Applicant (N-Z) so I suppose the confirmation is sent out based on alphabetical order of last names? </p>

<p>By the way, this is totally unrelated to TTU application, but should I retake my SAT? I got 2080, 2040, and then 2290. I am thinking about applying to one of the HYPS or MIT ED and feel like my scores are not good enough. :frowning: Being so close to 2300s is very unsatisfying. Most people online advise to not take the SAT over 3 times, but my SAT prep teacher says it doesn’t matter, my parents really want me to retake it, and I know of several people who took the SAT over 3 times and still went to schools like Stanford. So should I retake? </p>

<p>Also just got a confirmation email, which matches fairyfantasy’s description.</p>

<p>@fairyfantasy 2290 is passable, only retake it if you’re personally unhappy with your score </p>

<p>Got my confirmation email. However, it came from <a href=“mailto:clark.scholars@ttu.edu”>clark.scholars@ttu.edu</a>. Does that mean we should be sending our emails there?</p>

<p>I haven’t gotten a confirmation email yet, and my last name is in the first half of the alphabet. Anyone else? :/</p>

<p>I haven’t gotten one and I am also first half…</p>

<p>@fairyfantasy Depends on your ethnicity. If you are a URM, then you should be fine, but otherwise, I’d suggest you retake (especially if you are Asian and are assuming for HYPSM). Just my two cents though. ;)</p>

<p>@indianboy2400
A little unfortunately, I am an Asian. lol I suppose I will retake it, afterall. Any suggestions for how to close gap b/w 2290 and 2350- 2400? </p>

<p>@fairyfantasy I don’t think you should waste your time bumping your SAT score 60 points, especially when you already have a 2290. At that point it really doesn’t make a difference and that time can be much better spent doing more important things.</p>

<p>Anyway, does anyone know when results come out for Clark? And are there multiple cuts or alternates?</p>

<p>The e-mail said mid April iirc </p>

<p>Do they place more of an emphasis on scores and grades, or do you think they’ll consider impressive awards/extracurriculars as well?</p>
