I got my scholarship letter in the mail today, and I was hoping on at least getting the Academic Distinction scholarship, but I got the achievement one.
Another note - I’m an early graduate (graduating 1 year early…only in 3rd year of high school). Here are my stats:

Rank: 24/700
Unweighted GPA: 3.8/4.0
Weighted GPA: 4.75
SAT: 1360 math and critical reading (730 math, 630 reading), 2050 with writing
Extracurriculars: President of Mu Alpha Theta & Co-President and Co-Founder of Science Natl Honor Society, member of NHS, Art Natl Honor Society, Student Council, Key Club
Awards: Various awards for Latin competitions at area, state, and nationals
AP Exams (only took 3 so far, since I was a Sophomore last year): Spanish - 5, Latin - 5, AP World Hist - 4 (AP Scholar)
Volunteer Hours: 250+
Current course load: All AP - (Calc AB and BC, Physics B, Chem, English 3 and 4)
2011 PSAT score: 203.

I feel like my SAT score was not good enough, but I am still a little disappointed I only got 3k a semester Do you guys think that I probably was not eligible for the Academic Distinction scholarship?

I applied at the end of November, but I also have December SAT scores that have not come in yet. And according to last year’s cutoffs for the state of Texas, I am Commended… I think I might send in a copy of this year’s PSAT scores when I send in the Dec 2011 SAT scores. Hopefully the December SAT scores might be higher so I can submit those and ask for a reevaluation for the AES scholarship.
