<p>I was wondering if anyone heard back yet about being a potential 1693 Scholar. I just got my acceptance (which I'm thrilled about) and was named a Monroe Scholar, but I doubt I would be able to afford the school unless I was chosen as a 1693 Scholar. Thanks, all!</p>
<p>Rec’d same. No word on 1693 Scholar.</p>
<p>I haven’t heard anything past the initial nomination and sending in the essay. Hopefully they’ll notify us if we didn’t reach the next round (some scholarships don’t, and it sucks).</p>
<p>You heard about the initial nomination already? I didn’t hear anything yet.</p>
<p>Yes, the e-mail was sent Feb. 17.</p>
<p>rec’d nomination also, submitted essay, haven’t heard back since.</p>
<p>All 1693 semifinalists were sent an email in mid-February. If you haven’t received that email it means you were not selected as a semifinalist. There were only 60 semifinalists out of over 14,000 applications. Be proud of being a Monroe. It’s also a great honor and very selective.</p>
<p>All semifinalists should hear back from us whether or not they move forward in the process. Remember, there are only about 20 finalists and 4 award recipients so it’s highly selective.</p>
<p>@mediocrity, did you apply for financial aid? That can also be helpful as you consider whether or not W&M is an option.</p>
<p>I’m a finalist! Is anyone out there in the CC world going to the interview weekend?</p>
<p>Unfortunately, I didn’t receive any aid based off of our EFC. Oh well. Best of luck to all of the people joining the class of 2017!</p>
<p>I’m an alternate, but I still have hope that one of the finalists will get into somewhere on Ivy Day and give up his or her spot!</p>
<p>@baddriver sorry to resurrect this thread after so long but I’m an alternate this year and was wondering if space opened up for you. I’d love to be a part of the tribe and and this scholarship would really help me make that happen</p>
