<p>oh ok...thanks vircabutar
can the interview be as early as this saturday?
i am quite confused because they sent be an email for an interview BEFORE they told me that i am a finalist. So i thought the interview will be for the semifinalist round</p>
<p>double,</p>
<p>oh poopie pants. I guess someone else can take my scholarship; if I get selected for an interview, I'll regretfully decline (I've decided against Berkeley).</p>
<p>yeah i got my finalist interview email from the district person first too, and my interview's this saturday afternoon.. good luck!</p>
<p>I'm a finalist too. I'm from Missouri, so I'm wondering if I'll even have an interview at all? I haven't heard yet.
I'm thinking about going to the Overnight Stay Program, but I don't know if it's worth the plane ticket. Are other people going?</p>
<p>How do you check back on what you wrote on your application?</p>
<p>collegekid2007,</p>
<p>simple: you open up "My Documents" on your computer and find the file "Cal Alumni Scholarship" lol.</p>
<p>sorry, I just had too. But in reality, I dunno- I don't think you can really. You can try e-mailing Cal about it though.</p>

Anyone going to one of the Overnight Stay Program sessions?
[/quote]
I signed up for the second session. Anyone else?</p>
<p>I got my finalist interview e-mail from the district representative last weekend. Mine will be on campus on the 21st.</p>
<p>urgent question: i have my interview tomorrow morning, what's the dress code? tie+ shirt or just jeans+t-shirt?</p>
<p>^business casual</p>
<p>If I get this scholarship, will it reduce the amount of money I receive from the Regents' and Chancellor's scholarship?</p>
<p>the two scholarships are completely separate, and moreso, are merit-based. however, if you are in the income bracket for which your regents scholarship provides you with a full ride for berkeley, then technically, yes, the alumni scholarship will take away from the regents scholarship money. otherwise, regents=$1000/year and alumni ranges, i believe, though i got $1500 this year.</p>
<p>did anyone participate in the chat... and what did you guys find out? also, does anyone know how long the interviews are and what questions they ask you...</p>
<p>i was in the chat for a very short while - it was somewhat helpful but the information could be found elsewhere, if you just know where to look. the interview questions will concern with how you qualify as a leader and what you could offer to the campus. and interviews, according to the email i received, will last about 15 minutes.</p>
<p>I also was in the chat for a few minutes but there was still one thing I was confused about: if you don't get an offer for an interview does that mean you're out of the running for the scholarship? I still haven't heard about mine. I am out of state but it's making me nervous.</p>
<p>^ i've read that in order to receive the scholarship, you MUST have an interview. make sure you pay attention to your phone calls - i received notice of my interview by phone. i am an OOS, and i'm having my interview nxt sunday, apr. 15th, at an alumni's house in atlanta.</p>
<p>Still haven't heard and getting more worried every day. I guess I won't be attending Cal at this rate.</p>
<p>be patient, it comes out late April.</p>
<p>i just had my interview last weekend, so i guess it won't come out until later</p>
<p>Notifications will go out by Monday or Tuesday...</p>
<p>how did the interviews go? what did you guys wear?</p>
