I'm wondering the same thing - I have pretty similar stats (2120 SAT, 35 ACT). I guess its pretty much a crapshoot, considering the small number of trustee scholarships they give.

You might have a better chance, seeing as your a national merit semifinalist - I believe they have a specific scholarship thats exactly the same as the trustee for semi/finalists. (I was only commended)

Yeah, the website said something like "They will be in the Top 1% admitted" so it seems pretty exclusive, and I'm wondering if they make decisions based more on scores (like is there a minimum on everything) or if leadership and extracurriculars tie in. Congrats on getting commended scholar though, and good luck!
