**Belk Hopefuls!**

<p>Who’s hoping for an interview notification in February, followed by a schweet acceptance + Belk scholarship in April???</p>

<p>Woohoo! Let’s get a list going. I think it would be cool to get locations, too.
(if you put your name down, come back and let everyone know if you made it to the interviews or not!)</p>

Looks like we Texans like Davidson</p>

<p>If we just copy the previous posts, the list will be more complete</p>

<p>Haha the only person I actually know with a Belk is from Texas. "Drew D.V." is his name.</p>

<p>Is he the one on the website? Cause one of them is quoted there from Fort Worth.</p>

<p>Haha I don't know, actually! Possibly! </p>

<p>I laugh out loud whenever I go into his room. He's got a huge Texas flag hanging on the wall next to his bed. Actually, so do three of my other Texas friends here. What is it with you Texas people? :P</p>

<p>haha texas is definitely unique..
add me to the list - put me under not expecting but seriously hopeful :)</p>

<p>^ haha amplifiar, we just know that our state is quite obviously the best in the Union, and we like to show it :p</p>

<p>w00t for CC Belk-ers! Let's all get it :)</p>

<p>Isn't it like 10 per class year or something?</p>

<p>Yes, Texas is the best state in the union.
Everybody knows it, but only the enlightened ones admit it</p>

<p>HAHA So True Aardvark ^^
Random Texas Facts:
-Texas is the only state in the Union that can legally secede without taking any of the national debt.
-The King Ranch is larger than the state of Rhode Island
-The first word spoken on the moon was a Texas city, Houston.</p>

<p>A couple reasons I love Texas.
Obviously Texas is the best state.. Haha.</p>

<p>Does anyone know how much the runners up to the Belk, the "Chambers Scholars" receive?</p>

<p>i'm seriously not expecting anything. i just want to get into the college. </p>

<p>@gazebo- they said they would contact us for phone interviews in late February if we made it to the semifinalist rounds</p>

<p>I wrote that Texas was the best state and was kidding. However, nobody has refuted the statement, so maybe Texas really IS the best state in the Union!</p>

<p><em>plants tongue firmly in cheek</em></p>

<p>haha california is where its at : )</p>

<p>Personally, for me it's a tie between North Carolina and South Carolina -- the two states where I've lived now :P</p>

<p>jerzee is where it's at, holla</p>

<p>lol i've been all over the place and can't say one is the best. georgia, florida, michigan, california, arizona - and traveled to most of the rest - most have their perks and pitfalls. if i had to choose, i'd probably say arizona ;) (sorry, texas just aint that cool! haha)</p>

<p>Not to mess with our good friends from Texas, but if the people of a state feel the need to consistently tell people they are the best, then they probably aren't the best.</p>

<p>All kidding aside, there's nothing wrong with being proud of where your from.</p>

<p>Those poor misunderestimated Texans....</p>
