Any one interested in the Fredrick Douglass Distinguished Scholars Program applying in 2014-2015?

February 27th :slight_smile:

Hey has anyone heard back on being a finalist yet? Its February 27th and I’m freaking out lol

I haven’t heard yet either, no worries! Did anyone else have YouTube troubles? My first attempt to upload a video failed to be processed, so I’m worried that my submission won’t count

Nice to know I’m not the only one haha.

Still no email for me either. Has anyone else gotten it yet?

Lea, as long as your video is properly viewable on YouTube, you should be fine.

Did anyone else post a private video? I did and I hope that was viewable…

My D posted her video private and is anxiously awaiting an email from AU. She noticed many submitted their videos publicly but she saved the link she uploaded to AU and it still goes to her video.

Still no email here! Glad to know everyone here is as worried as I am haha :stuck_out_tongue: The settings of the video should have been only viewable with the link instead of being public or completely private to yourself.

I called this afternoon- as of 3pm CST the emails had not been sent and I was told they would be sent today. Maybe they are waiting until late so they do not receive any phone calls?

Love all the responses ! You guys are all so helpful:) Good luck everyone

Does anyone know what time we will hear back, or if there has been a delay? It is getting late and I am starting to worry

Is there any news?

Still nothing here. I was hoping maybe it would happen on the hour, but it doesn’t look like it.

Just got the email. Not a finalist.

Sorry :frowning: has anyone else heard? I haven’t gotten an email

I haven’t heard anything, starting to get really nervous

I haven’t heard anything either. It seems weird to me that they wouldn’t send them all out at the same time. I’m sorry to hear about your rejection, Breezy9.

hopefully that means you are both finalists! The Email said they were only picking 10.

I also did not receive an email yet! And wow, only 10! Seems like so many moved onto Round 2 so they must have made a major cut from the second round to the third…
