[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is the requirement a 36 overall or 36/36/36/36 for ACT?
1600 for SAT?[/quote]

No, my kid qualified (class of 21) with 35, 36, 35, 35.

My kid had 35/35/35/36 last year and did not qualify in Va[/quote]

Actually, GPA matters too. My nearly perfect GPA kid with lower sat made it. My almost perfect sat kid with lower GPA did not make it. Because it is a recommendation by the school[/quote]

There are three categories of nominees.

In the General category, those meeting the "universal score" for their state are automatically included, regardless of GPA, as I understand it. Then there are some additional nominees: "In addition, each Chief State School Officer (CSSO) may nominate ten male and ten female candidates based on their outstanding scholarship, residing in the CSSO's jurisdiction. ¶ Additionally, the program is partnering with several recognition organizations that will each nominate up to 40 candidates from their individual programs."

There is also an Arts component (which students submit themselves for) and a Career and Technical Educational component (through which students are "nominated through their Chief State School Officer").
