I received an Appalachian Excellence Scholarship on December 10 and yesterday I found out I am a finalist for the Chancellorās! I interview January 30th. Any other Chancellorās finalists here?
I applied for the Signature Scholarships at App but my portal still says āYour application is complete and awaiting review by our scholarship review committees.ā Is this a no for Chancellorās for me or do they notify finalists gradually?
My Scholarships portal also says the same thing, but the Fall 2021 portal shows that I have been selected to interview on the 30th for the Chancellorās. I had to schedule a Zoom time yesterday for my interview through my portal. I know they havenāt released Honors College decisions yet.
Iād imagine they should, my guess is that theyād just notify all the people that didnāt move on all at once on January 31st or so and the ones that did move on have already been notified? I know nothing for sure though, Iām really just speculating.
