Hang on tight @brocksmith225. Wishing you luck!
I received my admissions decision and I was quite surprised!
I am a mixed race (African American/White), 17-year-old male. My stats are:
- SAT: 1270 Total (670 Evidence-Based Reading/Writing), (600 Math)
- Unweighted GPA: 3.96
- Weighted GPA: 3.98
- Tons of leadership positions and ECs.
I was surprised that I got accepted at all. But I was flabbergasted when I also received a $130,000 Presidential Scholarship ($32,500 per year).
I originally thought I would be denied. Now I have such a difficult decision to make.
If you have any questions, I’ll be happy to answer them.

Almost the exact same stats (3.97 UW 4.46 W, #3 in his class 1530 SAT many leadership/captain) and EC’s as my son and he also only got $10 per year. There seems to be a huge disparity.

@DancingwithStars Can I join the GroupMe too?
@dancingwithstars - I would like to join the chat too please
Stupid question - what’s EC and URM?
EC: Extracurricular
URM: Underrepresented minority
Hi, @deebmc my son got $10k a year - very similar stats etc. He’s very excited. Presidential scholarships are a component of financial aid so it’s impossible to make much sense of the scholarship money without the full pic.
I was accepted with a $37k/year presidential scholarship as well as a $5k global scholarship. I’m a black female. Stats: 3.89 UW GPA; 4.811 W GPA; ACT of 29; Salutatorian; in numerous clubs;
@DancingwithStars How do I get into this group chat?
Interesting - S deferred to RD. ACT 35 (SS 36) but GPA 3.5. Math2 SAT 800. A little surprised because we thoughtt this would be an admit. Accepted into his first choice already so it’s all OK. Congrats to all accepted.
I would love to join!
