<p>oh no so the freemans are not coming to singapore? what's gonna happen to the applicants in those countries where the freemans will not be going then? i was looking forward to meeting them and the other freeman applicants from my country at the reception (i suppose there will still be one?)... coz i don't know of any other singaporean applying... which i suppose isn't really a bad thing.</p>
<p>@dinosaurrawr: i guess you'll have to fly back to Korea. Actually, a lot of Freeman finalists and scholars used to study abroad: UK, USA...</p>
<p>@woebegone: as I said before, you guys will be interviewed by Teri Overton and Theresa Cann (They did the interview last year in Vietnam). There are always 2 groups of interviewers.</p>
<p>dinosaurrawr: I'm living in Romania, Malaysian citizen. If I ever make the finalist cut, I guess I'll have to fly back, with all the money put into it. Lots of money. Not to mention I might miss the CEESA basketball tournament. :( Oh, well, the breaks for us. :D</p>
<p>Ahhhh. I'm so scared now.</p>
<p>No Freeman family for Malaysia too? :(</p>
<p>It is sometimes possible to make arrangements to be interviewed in another country. Makes it more difficult for the final decision to be made though, so use only if really necessary.</p>
<p>With regard to a question sometime back, it is not an absolute rule that you must have A-levels or STPM before being admitted. I know of at least one who got in after just a year of A-levels. Just send in applications. Let them sort out the details. Sorry, this came rather a little late.</p>
<p>Me: Malaysian Freeman from last year, freezing alone in my room over the winter break, happy to answer questions.</p>
<p>enilit: yep, i am :)</p>
<p>When do they inform you that you're a finalist?</p>
<p>probably around this week, or next week.
bookgirl06: from the Philippines here, too ;) what high school do you go to?</p>
<p>lol,
so it is possible to do interview in the u.s.
welllll--- but why is it so difficult to arrange an interview in another country? odd.</p>
<p>oh by the way--
GOOD LUCK, EVERYONE!</p>
<p>phew,
my tummy is rumbling.</p>
<p>Well, the interviews are conducted by two groups of people (Mr. and Mrs. Freeman, and John Driscoll, or Therese Overton and Alice Hadler), so they have to plan out a country by country itinerary.</p>
<p>Hey everyone, my friend got the interview notification already. Bad news is, I don't see anything. Wondering if this is my first rejection...
Anyway, good luck everyone! Time to try out our nerves:D</p>
<p>did she receive the notification via email or letter or phonecall from Wesleyan itself or through the AIG branch?</p>
<p>haven't heard anything yet, too...
i'm just hoping that the vietnam people get their notifications earlier than the rest of us do...</p>
<p>Bad news is, I haven't even seen her. She came looking 4 me but I wasn't there. But the Freeman scholars in previous years say that it will come in regular (snail) mail.</p>
<p>one of the Freeman scholars '08 (from the philippines) was notified through a phone call, though..</p>
<p>miaoling, who was it?? o_O</p>
<p>sis Ly or bro Toan, I can't remember>_< Could have been someone else for all I know:D</p>
<p>Sigh. My friend got a call yesterday from AIG telling him he'd been shortlisted. Darn. So much for Wes. The fantasy was fun while it lasted.</p>
<p>Let's all hope they're still calling everybody.</p>
<p>BG, that doesn't necessarily mean you're out of the running. I hope they're calling you as I write this:) How many Filipinos are applying this year?</p>
