Blount Scholars Program?

How competitive is it to get into Blount? I really love what I’ve read about the program. Also, I’m from NJ so it would be really difficult to set up a visit for an interview. Have you heard of them ever doing a Skype interview or something? I’m already past the priority deadline for an interview but I’m just wondering

I know there are more candidates this year than in past years, but if you’re interested, you should apply (if you haven’t already). I believe they do on campus interviews for students who can get to campus, and for everyone else they do phone interviews. There’s no downside to a phone interview - that’s probably what most candidates get. Haven’t heard of them doing Skype interviews.

FWIW, my D17 just had an interview for Blount very recently via Skype.

Do you know how long they are accepting applications for Blount?
