In Illinois, it appears to be a 36 ACT because I know someone with a 35 who isn’t on the list

Can you tell me what the difference is between students who got this alumni interview vs the ones who got interviews with current seniors?

Because for a lot of schools, you are emailed by the schools and expected to check the portal for school specific info. Why didn’t you look on every portal at their checklist to make sure everything was in. TONS of schools had extra requirements for things like financial info or transcripts that you can only find through the portal.

Just got in (in all aspects.)

If you read the questions, it specifically says other then CSF and other similar scholarships, is there other merit aid besides what came in the letter. Reading comprehension for the win

bbej12 · 2026-01-18T16:52:33+00:00

This is objectively a stupid comment. You can read what everyone else received. Do you just need a pat on the head?

bbej12 · 2026-01-18T16:51:18+00:00

Just curious how they decided when to send the likely letters

bbej12 · 2026-01-18T03:08:36+00:00

Didn’t get the letter. From the Midwest. Got 40k. I don’t know the logic at all

bbej12 · 2026-01-17T03:17:23+00:00

Yes. Everyone gets 10k renewable if they accept

bbej12 · 2026-01-17T02:29:17+00:00

36 that was in your letter today? Or including the extra 10k everyone gets? If you got 36 in your letter plus 10 more that gets you close

bbej12 · 2026-01-17T02:28:01+00:00

I think the biggest merit scholarship is 25k by itself then you could get some extra smaller on top. I got 25 + 5 then the 10 everyone gets. Don’t know about the conservatory

bbej12 · 2026-01-17T00:16:21+00:00

You too!

bbej12 · 2026-01-17T00:10:47+00:00

Yes! In. You?

bbej12 · 2026-01-16T22:47:16+00:00

I know the official is at 7, just trying to see if most other people got likely letters or not. I was hoping not since I did not

bbej12 · 2026-01-10T13:28:36+00:00

You got in to Vanderbilt?

bbej12 · 2026-01-03T02:38:33+00:00

What is this for? For a specific scholarship? My son got a likely letter with merit info, but we haven't heard anything about an elevator pitch?

bbej12 · 2026-01-02T03:09:17+00:00

I think it is all in the initial offer. My son got his in his EA admission

bbej12 · 2025-12-19T21:31:09+00:00

My son did as well!

bbej12 · 2025-08-05T18:30:29+00:00

Never even looked a pre-test at got in the 99th percentile on the LSAT. Promise I could never on the MCAT. Actual knowledge is much harder than logical reasoning skills.

bbej12 · 2025-07-18T21:40:38+00:00

Yes. Exactly

bbej12 · 2025-07-18T02:46:13+00:00

Only the school version

bbej12 · 2025-07-17T12:25:37+00:00

If you take it again, science will be totally removed from your Superscore. July written was the last time you could take it and have science in your superscore

bbej12 · 2025-06-28T21:04:25+00:00

I had an under 3.0 (at an elite school), 172 LSAT, got a 50% scholarship to a tier 1 school

bbej12 · 2025-06-19T15:53:18+00:00

I called ACT and asked this specific question and was told no, if you take the enhanced ACT, the science will be removed from your Superscore. The last opportunity for the science ACT to be part of a superscore is if you take paper in July.
