<p>I got a call today that Texas Tech is submitting my name to the Terry Foundation for final selection. Are there any Terry Scholars here who can enlighten me on the interview and what exactly happens other than an interview?</p>
<p>In case anyone was wondering I did not get chosen for the Terry Foundation Transfer Scholarship. </p>
do you mind sharing your stats? I really wanna apply to Tech in the fall as a transfer @franko5150
I believe I had like a 3.80 or so GPA at the time. Everyone who was chosen to interview was very bright. I KNOW where I blew my interview. lol I was asked what would happen if I did NOT get chosen by the Terry Foundation. My response was, “I will be attending Texas Tech University in the Fall whether or not I receive the Terry Foundation Scholarship.” As soon as I said that they started scribbling away & I KNEW I had tanked the interview. I later had one of the recipients for my Honors Critical Writing class & got to be good friends with him. If he had not received it, he would NOT have attended Tech. So in the end I’m glad he got it because it made a huge difference for him. I did receive the Presidential Transfer Scholarship and I work at the Learning Center, so I’m ok. Terry is a needs based scholarship, so although I had a “need” I was determined to go to Tech no matter what.
I just returned from study abroad in Seville, Spain which was largely funded by Tech through various grants and scholarships. All I can say is Tech has been extremely good for me and full of opportunities.
