<p>ICFIREBALL: I received notification that I have been selected as a finalist. I got the email just a few minutes after you posted the last message on the bulletin board. Have you heard anything? Let me know</p>
<p>Yes, I got notification as well. I didn't get it until this morning when I checked (although it was was sent/received at ~12:30am). Congrats!</p>
<p>50/50 odds! Pretty cool.</p>
<p>I got an email over the weekend informing me that I was not a finalist, but to my surprise, I received another yesterday appologizing for the first, and informing me that I am in fact a finalist. Did this happen to anyone else?</p>
<p>Hey everyone, I own a Landscape Business in my town and a Printer Ink Business on Amazon.com called WondorusThings. Page</a> 1. I was originally turned down. I was shocked, but then realized that I never told the McKelvey Foundation about my second business, the Printer Ink Business. I called up and left a message, then got an email back saying that they will look into my application. Then I wrote a pretty long email explaining about my second business. Later on that day, I got an email confirming that I was eligible to be a finalist.</p>
<p>I had my interview today. The whole thing is tailored to you and your application. The woman I had interview me was very nice and asked me a few questions. I brought up a lot too, and you have a chance to ask your own questions. Good luck to everyone!</p>
<p>That was actually very helpful. Now I have at least a little better understanding of what will be asked than "you, your business, and your future plans".... Thanks!</p>
<p>My interview is supposed to be within this hour... nervous!</p>
<p>When are we notified of receiving the scholarship or not?</p>
<p>is what my interviewer said</p>
<p>Oh yea, no problem. I had asked the kid who originally called me about whether or not I had any questions. I wasn't sure if the interviewer was going to know anything about me. Yea I had the same timeframe as you when I had my interview and it ended up being at like 4:50 or so. As for when we find out, I'm really not sure. I thought I heard or saw the date March 20th. I could be wrong though I'm really not sure. Anyway's good luck.</p>
<p>"Final notifications of scholarship awards will be send by March 20th." This was in the email sent my the McKelvey Foundation, unless they changed the date.</p>
<p>what kinds of business's do you guys have going?!
Websites?</p>
<p>I have a Landscape Business and a Printer Ink Business. Page</a> 1 and my printer ink business is on Amazon.com. The store name is WondorusThings. How about you?</p>
<p>I run a kids bar, we set up at teen parties like bar/bat mitzvahs, big birthday parties, graduations, sweet 16's... our website is ..::</a> Welcome To The Slime Bar ::..</p>
<p>Let me know if you have any questions... what does everyone else do?</p>
<p>ok, I had my interview! I think it went pretty well. I was only asked a couple questions and I answered them. Interview was very short. Did everyone else have a short interview? Did they give you any sort of feedback?</p>
<p>hey guys,
I am a finalist but i was wondering how the interviewer sounded on your interviews. When i had my interview, i was shaking like crazy, and super nervous and I felt like my interviewer could feel my voice tremble. My interview was 25 minutes long and I was stumbling over my words. :( i'm so depressed and scared I wont get this scholarship ( and I desperately need it to help me pay for college).</p>
<p>I wouldn't worry about it... mine took all of 6 minutes, including an accidental hang-up (soooo embarrassing) & I felt like i was noticably nervous as well. The fact that yours was so long is probably a good sign. Hopefully we'll hear soon... I feel like everything I do these days has a unbearable wait that follows! (college, scholarships, internships...) Good luck to everyone!</p>
<p>Mine was very short as well, but there was no apparent way that it could have lasted longer. The questions that I was asked required short answers... there wasn't a lot of room for me to talk about other things in addition to my business. I had the impression that it went well, but only time will tell.</p>
<p>hey guys! I work with the Future CEO Stars Magazine and they very interested in featuring young entrepreneurs stories in their magazines! This is all free of charge, and you get a full page cover your story. This is a great opportunity to look great on your resum</p>
<p>Mine was about twenty minutes, and it was okay. We'll find out soon enough! Good luck!</p>
