Anyone heard from Posse? They said early Nov, and from talking to others, last year the finalist results were announced anywhere from the last week of Oct to Nov 1st. This year, nothing. They requested grade reports from several students from DC’s school very late last week, that’s already over a week later than last year’s finalists announcements. Anyone heard anything yet?
In Houston, finalists were notified in mid-October. Third and final round of interviews for Posse Houston colleges will be in early December and notification of Posse Scholars shortly thereafter.
NY hasn’t gotten anything back as yet. They did ask for report cards though.
Hmm… So students in TX who didn’t make it to the final round actually got a chance to apply ED to other schools whereas NYC students didn’t get that choice. Very poor timing.
In LA, Posse finalists were announced officially last week, and parents and finalists were invited to an orientation to hear about next steps and to receive the application checklist 9which includes first-quarter grades). They were assigned an application “drop off” appointment with their Posse counselor throughout this week, which is when the Common App is officially submitted.
The final interview, with reps from the schools, takes place in early December. I understand that scholars find out within hours, much sooner than the official line. It doesn’t leave non-scholars much time to complete the RD apps, but practically everything else is completed by then.
One thing that the Posse office could have done more explicitly was to remind finalists that ED financial aid deadlines for some, if not all, partner schools is this month.
You can’t apply ED then withdraw the app if you get Posse?
Ny kids got ours November 10th.
