<p>Just curious if the invites have already gone out yet or not. I am thinking that last year the big interview weekend was in early Feb. If they are on the same schedule this year, invites have most likely already gone out. I am guessing that if we haven't received an invite by now, then it probably isn't going to happen. Anybody have any scoop?</p>
<p>My daughter is one of the 20 finalists for the Reynolds/Carswells. She received her call two weeks ago. She goes up to Wake this Friday (the 3rd) and stays till Tuesday the 7th. Hope that helps.</p>
<p>Lassienut, Congratulations! That is a great honor! Let us know how it goes. If you don't mind, ask your daughter to try and remember the questions she gets asked during the interview. Our son is going to Clemson's National Scholar Weekend 17-19 Feb and we are trying to help him prepare for the interview. If it isn't too much hassle, PM me next week and let me know how all things went. Good luck. We loved WFU when we visited. Beautiful campus. Just the right size.</p>
<p>ummm wut is this? and if i didnt get this call is this a bad thing?</p>
<p>They are referring to the Reynold and Carswell scholarships, they bring the finalists down and interview them. </p>
<p>Did you apply for those scholarships?</p>
<p>o no, ha im lucky if i even get into WF</p>
<p>Haha, then don't worry about it. </p>
<p>Good luck! I hope to see some more acceptances.</p>
<p>My son was invitied and is attending this weekend. He rec'd a call and email a couple of weeks ago.</p>
<p>Yeah, the finalists have definitely already been asked to interview. I'm a host, and we've already recieved the names of the people that we're hosting.</p>
<p>APSDAD, Congratulations! What an honor! Best of luck to you and your S. Let us know how it goes. We really enjoyed our visit to WFU last spring and our S has also applied to WFU. We think it is a great school. How long do you have to wait after the scholarship weekend to hear results?</p>
<p>when does wake notify you of the other merit-based scholarship decisions? does it come with your financial package? how generous is wake with money?</p>
<p>I believe the results are sent around the 1st of March.</p>
<p>For the Reynolds candidates and other interviewed candidates, they find out really, really soon after their weekend. I knew within a week. For the other merit-based money, I'm not totally sure how/when people find out.</p>
<p>I'd assume pretty late, because if someone won something and didn't decide to enroll wouldn't it get passed on to someone else?</p>
<p>I'm a finalist for the Gordon scholarship...</p>
<p>Congratulations Sai!</p>
<p>so pretty much at this point, if i didn't get any notification about scholarships, am i out of the game for receiving any merit money? or is there something else?</p>
<p>No, there are plenty more merit aid scholarships out there, they just haven't been awarded yet. If you receive any, it will most likely come in your financial aid package end of Mar or early April along with your acceptance letter. The Reynolds/Carswell Scholarships are Wake Forest's flagship scholarships. They are the top of the top and given out only to a select few. If you were not invited to the Reynolds/Carswell scholarship weekend, do not feel bad, you are in good company with lots and lots of other high quality kids who also were not invited but who will no doubt win good merit aid. Hang in and wait.</p>
<p>what about the Gordon scholarship? Do they notify you beforehand if you are a finalist for that? Looks like they do because saibondy apparently was notified.</p>
<p>yeah, there's a weekend for the gordon just like for reynolds/carswell- this weekend, actually!</p>
