Congrats to all the finalists! What were your ecs and scores??
No test scores yet. 4.11 unweighted GPA independent boys school. Founded a youth immigrant integration program. Winner of Princeton Prize in Race Relations, Yale Basset Award for Community Engagement, Global Cleveland Youth Leader Award and Accelerate: Citizens Make Change. Serve on National Youth Advisory Council of HOPE worldwide, an international nonprofit. Lead the youth arm of a multiracial advocacy org and got formal proclamations from governors of 17 states. Bunch of leadership positions at school. Captain of football team, etc.
Would love to hear about the other finalists.
Mainly research and volunteering with local service organizations/starting my own in my community. I also had near perfect test scores. I don’t think scores matter too much, EC’s and essays probably played a bigger role.
Just got a call that I’m a finalist!
Has anyone not gotten any response yet? I’m still waiting and don’t know if its good/bad
I still haven’t heard.
Same! I’m starting to wonder if my application even went through. For the people who received an interview, when clicking on “My Applications” on the website, did it just show your code and a blank document? I don’t want to keep my hopes up and wait for something that won’t come.
My application shows that as well, but I confirmed the receipt.
Did you submit it later? I submitted mine like 15 minutes before the window closed.
I also submitted mine like 5 mins before the deadline and haven’t heard anything yet
Yea I submitted a few mins before too
Maybe they are still calling, don’t give up hope!
I submitted a week before the deadline, so they are probably just running behind on letting people know either way.
rejected rip
@mamacrum your son sounds amazing! I am mostly with a STEM background with published research as well as leadership. Serve on state level committees and also lead a non-profit. I think there are so many amazing applicants out there - still dumbfounded I made it!
@Neuropower You also sound brilliant and amazing! So impressed with the young people who are not just aiming to become leaders in the future, but are actively leading today. Big Congrats.
Has anyone else not heard anything back yet? This is hikey making me sad af.
