Best Buy Scholarship 2011

<p>I didn’t receive one either :frowning:
I wrote down on my reminder that we’re supposed to be hearing back on March 7th.
Maybe they’re sending e-mails from now up to that day? Or maybe I’m being too hopeful and I should just accept the fact that I didn’t get one ): Lol.</p>

<p><em>sigh</em> no email. </p>

<p>And they said only the ones who get it will be notified…</p>

<p>CONGRATS :)</p>

<p>As odd as this may sound, I kind of wish I got a rejection e-mail.
That way I’d at least know instead of wondering whether the selection process is finished or not .</p>

<p>I agree 10 char ^</p>

<p>wait, so all provisional recipients automatically get 1000$? and then after all the forms are submitted are eligible to win the 25,000$ ?</p>

<p>2500, not 25000</p>

<p>oops. Turns out I looked at the wrong webpage…</p>

<p>where does it say 2500, postorm?</p>

<p>No email :frowning: oh well!
Congrats to all who got it! :)</p>

<p>Aw, I didn’t get it.</p>

<p>But I went to the webpage and it says “Provisional recipients will receive an email by late March; only provisional recipients will be notified.”</p>

<p>Late March, now?</p>

<p>yep, it did say BY late march, so there is a sliver of hope. but i always take such notification dates loosely unless a specific day is mentioned. for example, some EA decisions go out earlier than expected… shrug</p>

<p>Damn, I didn’t get it. This blows.</p>

<p>@Jenonymous probably not. Why would they send only some of the emails out March 4th when all the finalists have already been accepted? We probably won’t hear anything from now till Monday.</p>

<p>What exactly did the email say about the selection process? I really want them to select more by March 7th, but that’s just not going to happen.</p>

<p>Congrats to everyone who got it. The website says that over 125,000 people applied this year. So you guys are the top .96%.</p>

<p>I didn’t get an email either! :frowning:
But congrats to everyone who got a scholarship!!</p>

<p>Nothing for my son and daughter. I do wish they would send out a rejection email also! Sometimes there may be someone who does not send in materials or who has fibbed a bit in the early application & you may be next on the list. Congrats to everyone so far!</p>

<p>Writing for my daughter. She received the e-mail and will get $1000 from Best Buy. Congrat to all the others who got it. For those who didn’t get it, there are still some other scholarships. My daughter won some and lost some.</p>

<p>Congrats everyone!! I didn’t get it but fingers crossed for the rest of my scholarships I guess :)</p>

<p>Aww looks like I’m not a finalist for this or for the Walmart one. :frowning: Although I guess I already won 2 scholarships ($5800 total) so I can’t expect to get everything.</p>

<p>Wow. 125k people?
I just applied for the heck of it.</p>

<p>So frustrating. Why NOT notify those that didn’t receive something?
Even Coca-Cola sent a letter to my counselor stating though I was a semi-finalist I didn’t make finalist.</p>

<p>Does anyone know what we would have to do if we make finalist round? Do we need proof for thenumber of hours we volunteered/worked or activities? Recoommendations? Essays? Thanks!</p>
