How many finalists are chosen out of the 3,000 applicants (after the regular decision round)?
@skywriter2131 their website says that they choose 80-100 finalists each annual cycle.
p
would any finalists mind reading my application?
You can DM me if you would like.
@butterscotch123 sure!
Do any applicants want to join a GroupMe for the Cameron Impact Scholarship? I think it’d be fun! Feel free to message me and I can set one up
If this is a rolling decision scholarship, would it be better if I applied earlier?
I think I was one of the last people to get a spot in the application process because my final recommender sent their letter in and the next morning they said all of the spots were full. ?
Anyone know when decisions will be released for interviews?
@highsckid I think decisions come out mid- to late October.
id love to join one! my instagram is @melophile.hannah
Does anyone know if they get back to you with a confirmation of some sort if you let them know of an update to your application? I emailed them with an update about two weeks ago, and sent a follow up email asking them to confirm they received it, but they didn’t respond. I also called but no one picked up, so I left a voicemail. I’m not sure what to do
I know it’s early, but has anyone heard back yet?
Also, I saw that they notify by phone. I don’t normally pick up calls from numbers I don’t know, so will there be an email update notifying me of whether or not I got a spot?
Thanks!
nikibanana, Did you ever get a response about your update? This is so nerve wracking! I wonder when they will notify finalists.

@“Grapes5%6%” yes I did! They emailed me back letting me know it was added to my application 
Has anyone heard back about being a finalist? In previous years people got calls on the 16th.
@“Grapes5%6%” @fightorflight The website says that they will notify everyone “by October 31st.” I don’t know if anyone has ever received information prior to the date listed on the website. The fact that they say “by” makes it seem like some decisions may come out earlier, but I don’t know. I’m just waiting for a rejection at this point.
Edit: According to past years, people receive notifications on their status from October 16th to October 31st. That means finalist calls (and possibly rejection emails) should be making their way out now. From past threads, it seems like notification times are random. Kinda frustrating, but we’ll just have to wait and see.
If anyone gets any type of response, please post that you received an email or call. I think I can say for everyone that it eases our anxiety. Thanks!
I think that since they probably aren’t doing in person interviews due to Covid, they may be under less pressure to announce the next round. As long as they tell finalists by 10/31 they will have time to interview everyone by Skype and no longer need to rush to make travel arrangements to visit every applicant in person. Also, if they are doing Skype interviews maybe they will be able to interview more people? Just hoping!
