Barry Goldwater Scholarship

<p>Well, I guess it’s not happening today. So it MUST be tomorrow…right…please…</p>

<p>After some fretting, I’ve done some favor to myself and wrote a computer script that checks the website every 10 minutes or so. It’ll send me a text message if something’s up.</p>

<p>List is up, my son didn’t win. Oh well, congrats to everyone else!</p>

<p>I saw the list was posted too. No winners from my school. Three of us got honorable mentions though. A little disappointed I don’t get the money, but I can deal with that.</p>

<p>I got it! How many winners are there? Congrats to everyone, it’s a big deal that you even got nominated or an honorable mention!</p>

<p>Congrats! You must have a very impressive application! There aren’t any press releases yet so I don’t know the exact number but it is probably around 270-280ish for a scholar and about 190 for honorable mention.</p>

<p>I got it!! Yah! Makes my day. Good job everyone! In addition to honorable mention, even a nomination is an honor to be recognized!!</p>

<p>I didn’t get it either. Two winners from my school though. The press release is now out - there are 271 winners out of 1107 applicants</p>

<p>^^^I like Kutless too :)</p>

<p>Do they release the sophomore:junior ratio? I know four people that won it, but all of them are juniors.</p>

<p>I know two people a couple of years ago from my school who were sophomores that won. I think it’s more of an absolute thing rather than a relative competition by grade-level, so it makes sense that juniors will generally have more to put on their resume than sophomores.</p>

<p>Yeah they are mostly all juniors. Two from my school won it (UTAH STATE BABY) and he was an honorable mention as a senior and won it this year. I’m also a junior. My adviser said juniors usually win. So good luck next year if you’re a sophomore!</p>

<p>I got it! I thought I had a strong application, and apparently Northeatern’s selection committee thought I was the top applicant. Apparently the Goldwater committee thought so too! I’m the only recipient from Northeastern, and no other honorable mentions.
I’m technically a sophomore by Goldwater standards because I have 2 years left, but I’m in my third year. (I’m in a 5 year program.)</p>

<p>Congrats nanotechnology and the other scholars and HM recipients. I got it too, but unlike you, I was relatively anxious since I thought my application might have been weak compared to that of 3rd or 4th years.</p>
