Thank you! Here are the rest of my stats: Rank 7/567 GPA: 4.2 Weighted 4.0 Unweighted. Extracurriculars: HOSA President, Committee Chair, Sergeant of Arms, and Texas Area 5 Vice-President, Mu Alpha Theta Founding Chapter Member, Interact Treasurer, NHS, etc. (you get the idea I was pretty involved in my school). Volunteer: 300+ hours accumulated (i only listed around 200 on my UTD application though). I applied around late September/Early October of 2012 before they even started reviewing for the AES scholarships for the Fall 2013 students. As such I didn’t receive my AES offer until late December. I believe you should hear back around a month after applying if you don’t hear back I suggest spam calling the AES office (they don’t pick up their phone often) or emailing the program head requesting information regarding your AES status. Im pretty sure applying early does help. The average for the AES Distinction last year was a 1440 which is nearly 100 points over my 1350 CR+M score. My friend who applied right when the application got it but had a 1320 CR+M but he was in the first pool of applicants reviewed. Remember they have a set money set aside for scholarships and as you apply later and later this set of money will be diminishing and they will be more picky on who recieves the money left. If you already have these documents available I suggest sending in a resume and a few (up to 3) recommendation letters. One of my friends who applied to UTD got the achievement scholarship and called the AES head to ask for a reconsideration as he retook his SAT. She suggested also sending in a resume and recommendation letters even though she did say there is a chance the committee that gives AES may not read it…but there is also a chance they will. Sorry this is a really long post just wanted to be detailed as possible for you and any other people with questions on the AES.
