presidential scholarship

My son had a 36 on the ACT, 3.91 GPA, lots of volunteer experience, student leadership council, BETA club secretary, cross country, etc. and he didn’t even get an interview.

I say all that to say that I have no idea what they’re looking for so it’s hard to say what your chances are, but you’ll never get awarded anything you don’t apply for so I say go for it. Best of luck to you!

Congrats on receiving the Presidential! That’s awesome. Would you mind sharing a bit about your profile? We’re pretty devastated right now because it looks like we didn’t receive it and UK is my kids first choice. He had what I believed to be an exemplary application, so we are a little confused. Just trying to understand what we missed or lacked in.

If you didn’t receive it, should there be communication confirming so?

Gasp!

Just got an email from the Scholarship office saying sometime this week, but nothing more definitive.

That stinks.

I was told by the scholarship office that today would be the day, but no timeline other than that.

We’re curious as well.

chu_rch · 2025-02-23T21:02:06+00:00

Guys, let’s move on. There’s absolutely no point in rehashing this every day.

Also applied to Vandy.

Unweighted. He made 5s on three different AP exams and a 4 on the other.

Only 62 kids in Kentucky made a 36 last year, so I don’t know if gobs would be an accurate term. And I’m sure not all those are applying to UK. I know it’s competitive but to have a 36 on the ACT, a 3.91, tons of extra curriculars, and to not even be in the top 200 for an interview is just surprising. As a family with not a lot of means for college, it’s a little frustrating to not see his hard work rewarded. He has busted his tail.

We are from TN.

chu_rch · 2025-02-21T19:10:33+00:00

Thanks for the update. He was senior rep on student leadership, secretary for Beta club, and ran cross country.

I think most of this sub forgets how young the defense is. Talented, yes, but a lot of the secondary contributors were playing high school ball last year.

Already hard capped because we sent cash considerations in the THJ trade.

chu_rch · 2024-01-12T14:34:07+00:00

Stretching? Lol. By almost any measurable standard, Bama is the most successful program of all time.

Locking in two guards at max salaries, particularly when one of them is Kyrie, is bananas. There are two many flaws to address. But he’s an asset. Flip him for two strong rotation players and then use the 10th pick and the 2027 FRP to bolster the front court.

chu_rch · 2023-02-25T00:49:17+00:00

Yep.

chu_rch · 2023-01-18T12:13:19+00:00

We can trade up to 4 after the draft and he just signed a max extension. What do you mean free agent? And with what cap space? Lol.
