US Presidential Scholar

DD didn’t make semifinalist in NJ. :frowning:
:frowning:

In anyone else awaiting the announcement? The first Monday in May has been their favorite day for publishing the final list of scholars…

Could this wait get any longer!

Hey, if there’s a chat for the class of 2017 let me know, but otherwise I’ll post here.

I received a 36 on the ACT December of my junior year, so I’m assuming I’ll qualify for this program. Can anyone tell me more about what the eligibility/application process is like? Any former Presidential Scholars able to fill me in?

Thanks!

Is an ACT of 36/36/36/34 likely to be nominated?

Sure, those scores would not disqualify you - but remember, it’s extremely, extremely competitive.

My son, who got into HYPM (didn’t apply to S), was offered merit aid at the publics, did Yale’s special engineering invitation preview (name escapes me now) and got NMS from the actual NM people - was rejected for Presidential. So if anyone gets it, please post here about how in the world you did it :slight_smile:
