It doesn’t look like anyone has started a neurotic thread for the 40 Acres scholarship yet so why not? 
Not really looking for my daughter to get an email in the next week but I am getting excited for all those who will next week! Post your updates here!
Updates are posted next week? Is that for all scholarships through Texas exes or just 40 acres?
@hideawaypizza , I’m just guessing based on last year’s thread on the timing of the 40 acres. I don’t know about other scholarships. Sorry I’m not much on information!
has anyone heard about semi-finalists yet?
@UTorRICE , crickets, crickets, crickets. I have on my calendar that they might come out tomorrow (I put that on there months ago after looking at last year’s thread so it is just a guess).
yeah that’s what i was thinking. but one year they came out on the 17th
Nothing so far
Nothing yet?
i heard someone else got a semifinalist email and i also know they dont send out rejections, only acceptances.
where’d you hear that?
My daughter got an email telling her she was a semifinalist for the 40 Acres Scholars Program tonight!!
Congrats @Oldhorn
Do they update online status on Texas exes?
We also just received the email.
Does anyone know how many semi-finalist are selected? Good luck to everyone!
My daughter received an email notification as semi-finalist this afternoon.
I think about 120 semifinalists are chosen and those students complete phone interviews. About 60 are chosen as finalists and must attend the interview weekend at UT. Between 15-20 40 Acres Scholars are then notified they have received the scholarship!
Congrats to everyone and good luck!!
Have all semi-finalists been notified as of yesterday? I applied and didn’t receive any notification. Still hoping to hear back but probably wishful thinking
Yes yesterday, it had to be accepted by today and phone interviews are scheduled for Monday and Tuesday.
I did not receive any email. Do they send out rejection emails?
In the semi-finalist notification email it said to send in an updated resume and high resolution headshot/senior picture. Should I just use the same resume I sent them originally and add in new information? How long is too long for a 40 acres resume…
