Fordham’s website states “There are only 20 Presidential scholarships awarded each year. Presidential scholars typically have a strong A/A- average, rank within the top 1-2% of the graduating class (and are often #1 or #2), score above 1450 on the SAT, with typically above a 2200 including the new SAT Writing section, and have very strong extracurricular involvement and demonstration of leadership ability.”
If an applicant meets the class rank and SAT requirements and has strong extracurricular involvement, is it likely that he or she will receive the scholarship? Does anyone know anything about the awarding of the scholarships that is not in the above quote?
