Barry Goldwater Scholarship

<p>Who else is waiting for the news?! I'm so anxious.</p>

<p>My son is, but I swear I’m way more anxious than he is! Not until the end of the month though, so try not to think about it!</p>

<p>well good luck to him!!</p>

<p>Do you think it’s coming out April 1st? It seems like it usually comes out on a Monday and the 25th just seems too early.</p>

<p>My Son’s advisor said he has never seen it before the 26th…so who knows. I’m going to start checking the site on Monday the 25th just in case!</p>

<p>According to last year’s thread the winners were posted on the 29th which was a Thursday.</p>

<p>The deans at my school said that it usually comes out 29th-31st</p>

<p>though I would think that it would be posted on a week day…so it’s probably Friday the 29th</p>

<p>do the schools officials no already</p>

<p>My son was told the school finds out by checking the site also.</p>

<p>I was told the school officials were notified via email</p>

<p>Ivy, Did you hear that they are notified early? The advisor at my son’s school says they are notified a day or two after it is posted on the site. Maybe your school has better connections. :slight_smile: I guess we just all have to wait a few more day! Best of luck!</p>

<p>I guess tomorrow is the first potential day then that it will come out. Soon this thread is going to fill so let me just say hurray for being on the first page.</p>

<p>I am waiting too! It’s too much anxiety, even though I am 99% sure we won’t find out till Friday…So does anyone know the typical profile of winners? (i.e. GPA, publications, etc.)</p>

<p>I have heard 3.9 + GPA, 2-3 years significant research experience, great recs and personnel statement. </p>

<p>Not sure if this is 100% accurate however.</p>

<p>mumof2boyz, you are right. I asked the office, they said that they are notified about a day after the list is posted online. They said that there have been years that they were notified by the student before they were notified by the review committee.</p>

<p>Best of luck to everyone!</p>

<p>I wonder why it takes so long. The people have decided already</p>

<p>My bet is Friday by 5pm. They wouldn’t announce it on the weekend would they?</p>

<p>It’s might be today by 5pm. Last year was on a Thursday apparently…</p>

<p>Have you all applied as well? I can’t even do anything productive because I have had so much anxiety yesterday and today…I sure hope it works out for you guys! I bet we find out tomorrow. So it is best to check the online website?</p>
