Any else you’d like to mention: On the HC app, it says I have a 3.6486 GPA. The weighted GPA on my transcript is an 89.4583 weighted, so I have no idea how they got this number. I have a 34 ACT and decent ECs. ROLL TIDE ROLL
For those who have received the Presidential Elite Scholarship by snail mail, is it showing up in the My Bama portal anywhere? My daughter’s just says “Thank you for submitting your scholarship application to The University of Alabama for the 2019 - 2020 academic year. Should you be awarded any scholarships you will be notified by letter in mid to late March.” I like having the paper copy but it seems like it should show up in the Portal too…

Apply now to Bama. If a higher score is needed, Bama will let you know and let her retest. They won’t just reject her
Bama is usually very lenient with admissions until winter.

*Update from 10/17/18, received OOS Merit letter 10/29/18.
Hello! We have received admission and acceptance to their HC program. Is OOS merit scholarship the same as Presidential or not? And should we be completing their scholarship application for the above or is that an auto-triggered event based on the test scores and such? Thanks in advance for the clarification.
Yes, the Presidential Scholarship is part of the Merit Scholarships. That is automatically sent to you based on test scores and GPA.
Excited to receive OOS Presidential, accepted to HC and received invite to Capstone Scholars Day. Is CS Day a common invite to all scholly recipients?
