@iwantivies: I can assure you that the SAT-score is NOT the key-criteria for the scholarship.

Once you are a semi-finalist, I am convinced, the grades are 2nd priority, and your personality & interviewing-skills get much more important. They want to see something in you that gives them the impression that you are going to be a leader on campus and later in life! Whatever it is, but I can assure you, it’s not grades!

My son is a PS (only partial scholarship, not the full-ride; and he didn’t have 2400 on his SAT, either … only 2390 ^^) and I know that many of his PS-colleagues had SATs significantly lower than his - and some of them received the full-ride.

So - it’s definitely NOT grades! BTW, I think the school does a great job with this program - starting at selection of the candidates and ending at the program & support they offer to the PS scholars! My son, at least has ‘the time of his life’, as he says!
