@“Grapes5%6%” , that would be great if that’s the case! I also applied and haven’t heard anything back yet so I guess we’ll see.
I keep checking my spam folder and voicemail just in case. Really hoping they contact us soon so this waiting can be over.
Anyone hear anything yet?
Nothing yet, but I can see below that there were 200 views of this thread since yesterday, so hopefully that means one of us will be a finalist and will kind enough to let the others know when they are notified. I agree that the waiting is tough!
@“Grapes5%6%” I’m so worried. Every other year’s forum shows some people being notified by now. I totally understand your theory about COVID affecting the times, though. I know I got rejected, but it’s the waiting that makes it so painful.
I’m getting so anxious, I really thought someone would say they got notified by now. It makes me wonder if people have already been notified and aren’t saying anything, or if no one has been notified and they’re still deciding finalists. I don’t know whether or not to be hopeful 
@fightorflight Same here. This thread has been kind of dry from the get-go. Some years, the threads for this scholarship are super active. Seems like that isn’t the case for this year. It’s kind of odd when you think about it. More people applied this year than last year, yet last year’s thread had way more responses. Hoping that a finalist could just jump in here and say they got the call already.
I haven’t heard anything yet, but I’ve been answering every spam call I receive and keep getting let down lol. I’ll let you guys know if I hear anything though! Nice to know I’m not the only one waiting. Good luck 
Hi everyone! I applied early and was chosen as a finalist, so I will give my opinion on this. I clearly remember that they notified on the last possible day, meaning that everyone will likely be notified on Oct. 31. Since that is a holiday there is a possibility that it will come out on Oct 30, but I would not plan on it coming out any earlier than that. All of the rejection emails are sent earlier in the day, and the finalist calls are conducted in the evening (I think I received mine around 8 pm CST). I also would not plan on them having more than 100 finalists. I could be wrong about this, but I think that even virtually it will be hard to narrow down over 100 to 15 so I wouldn’t get your hopes up in that regard. I wish the best of luck to everyone who applied! No matter if you get this scholarship or not, you are all incredible and will go so far in life. Just taking the step to apply and be on this forum is a huge accomplishment!
@curlygirl675 Thanks for your input!
@curlygirl675
Thanks for your input. Good luck to you!
That’s great that you are a finalist and that you did the application so early before all of the craziness with college apps! Was your interview on Zoom?
I haven’t actually had my interview yet, but it will be over zoom. They are supposed to reach out at the end of the month to schedule our interview. I’m pretty sure they want to do all of the interviews at the same time so it is fair for everyone.
Any news yet? I know I’m annoying, but I’ll probably do this until I get an email or call (probably not a call tho )
Any news?
@highsckid Nothing for me yet.
I think we’ll all receive something by Friday. I was just hoping that they’d notify some people before the last day of October like every other year.
Just got an email. I’m not a finalist.
anyone else get anything?
I also just got an email saying I’m not a finalist Congrats to all the finalists from the early round and the soon-to-be finalists as well ~
@pinetreesnow @prideandpoetry Wish you guys the absolute best. If you don’t mind, could you tell us what date and time (with time zone) you submitted your applications?
