Then why aren't those 15 students on the Presidential scholar eligibility list, which is based entirely on scores? The list is supposed to be the top 40 scoring students who live in DC.

Exactly right. There are not 15 students at Wilson with perfect scores. There are 3, and 3 only, out of a class of about 445 students. At Banneker, there were 4 out of a class of about 110. At Walls, there are 13 out of about 145. Draw your own conclusions.

I don't think the senior class is this big.

Just to clarify this using OSSE data - in 2015-2016 the class sizes were
9th - 607
10th - 425
11th - 393
12th - 366

That means the current senior class would have gained @50 students. I believe the current senior class is under 400 students.

Perfect scores aren't enough to get you nominated. CSSO can add others to the list.

And I guess by that token, Walls is only 138, and Banneker only 99?

Wow, looking at this data, I'm pretty impressed with Banneker. 100% economically disadvantaged, but higher Level 4 PARCC score %s than Walls. 100% graduation rate. Impressive.

What are you saying? That there are 12 kids at Wilson with perfect SATs who were knocked off the list? I don't think it works that way. Sure the "state" can add kids, but there is a score cut off and anyone duplicating the lowest score is in, so if 15 kids had perfect scores, they should all be in.

"The scores associated with the top 20 male examinees and top 20 female examinees are used to identify the candidates in each state. When ties occur in the threshold score, more than 20 persons of that gender are invited in that state. In addition, each Chief State School Officer (CSSO) may nominate up to ten male and ten female candidates ...." So yes, perfect scores are enough. Anyone whose kid has a perfect score, who isn't on the list, should read this:

"I believe I am eligible to apply for the general component, but I am not listed as a Candidate.

This is possible, since we rely on the data provided by students themselves at the time they took the SAT and ACT exams to identify the universe of eligible candidates. The College Board and ACT, Inc. transmit this information to us. Our process does not include obtaining updates for all high school students whose citizenship, legal U.S. residency, or graduation status may have changed between their taking the ACT or SAT test and our application deadline. Each year, still other students may be omitted from the list of eligible applicants because they entered information incorrectly on the test forms, or because they requested that ACT or The College Board not release their scores to outside entities, in addition to those who attained U.S. citizenship, legal U.S. residency, or altered their graduation date after they registered for the test. If you are a U.S. citizen or legal permanent U.S. resident graduating in 2017, the current program year, and received what you believe to be a qualifying test score for your state in one sitting, please call us at 507-931-8345, and be prepared to provide us with information on your state of legal residence, full name, gender, the date you took the test, and a copy of your test report. If you have attained citizenship or legal U.S. residency since you registered for the ACT or SAT, you will also need to provide proof of your citizenship or legal U.S. residency status. We will verify the information and documentation you provide to us and determine whether you are eligible to apply. If we determine that you are eligible, we will provide you with access to the application, which you may complete and submit online, or download, complete and mail in hard copy. All applications must be received by us at the Saint Peter, MN address by 5:00 p.m. Central Time, February 28, 2017. If the application receipt deadline has passed by the time you contact us, you will not be able to apply, even if you would otherwise have been eligible."
