<p>hahaha nice one amplifiar!</p>
<p>and i mean that all in good fun, to any Bush supporters in this forum</p>
<p>^ Apparently we're also the only state that could secede from the Union and still be fine economically. We've got way more oil than all of you, bi+ches! haha</p>
<p>It's February.<br>
Does anybody know the timetable of when they notify the people who made the cut?</p>
<p>Also, do they notify those who didn't make it, or do we wait for someone on CC to proudly exclaim they made the cut for us to realize that we didn't?</p>
<p>Good luck to all.</p>
<p>yeah - good luck to everyone. haha i was never confident i'd get it, but hearing about the huge increase in apps makes this an almost undoubtable no in my head (for me). I hope they at least send the people who don't make it a concise email!</p>
<p>I think they notify at end of February, not sure how and who.</p>
<p>Any word from anybody? Yea or Nay</p>
<p>nay. here's the belk timeline.... </p>
<p>"Late February - Semi-finalist phone interviews
60–65 semi-finalists will be selected and interviewed by telephone</p>
<p>Early March - Finalists are identified</p>
<p>March 27-29 - Belk Scholars Celebration
Finalists will attend classes, meet with faculty and students, and participate in selection activities, including interviews conducted by a committee comprised of members of the Belk family, Davidson faculty and administration, and current Belk Scholars and alumni</p>
<p>April 5 - Winners are contacted
All finalists not named Belk Scholars will be named Chambers Scholars, thus identifying them a"</p>
<p>PS... I was surprised to hear that apps increased by only about 1%, I thought I had heard that it was much more than that. I guess that makes selection a lot less competitive!</p>
<p>PPS... is there a scholarship for chambers scholars? :)</p>
<p>"The (chamber) awards are offered at different levels, based upon the strength of the candidate's application, their finalist interview, and the impression made during their time on campus." === quote from Head of Scholarship committee in an email. </p>
<p>So I'm guessing 15,000-30,000 dollars a year.</p>
<p>has anyone heard anything?</p>
<p>i came stumbling across this thread and I have a few questions: </p>
<ol>
<li>are intl students (living overseas) considered for this belk scholarship?</li>
<li>you don't have to apply separately for a scholarship for Davidson, right?</li>
</ol>
<p>Thaaanks!</p>
<p>Some of the scholarships you don't have to apply for -- automatic entrance of all students. Others you have to.</p>
<p>yeah, two or three you have to submit an app for. like the Belk is a special application. its on the site...</p>
<p>Letter received in today's mail 700 nominees this year, didn't make cut. Letter dated 2/19/09</p>
<p>^ AHHHH!!!! Nervous!!! I didn't get anything, so I'm freaking out because I have to wait until Monday ;(
haha</p>
<p>GAWD. Now I'm nervous.</p>
<p>haha if we don't get something by tuesday, i'd say its safe to say that we didnt get it. lol i won't be expecting it... so i guess it will just make it that much better if i get one :)</p>
<p>Too true. <em>crosses fingers</em></p>
<p>SCMom,
What did the letter say.... did it give a time for the phone interview? Who would the interview be with? How long would it be???</p>
<p>I think she was saying that there were 700 nominees this year, and she didnt make the cut</p>
<p>I got the same letter, not a semi</p>
