Nothing to report as of yet but I thought I would start a thread in case anyone starts hearing about interviews or perhaps has any questions they want to ask other potential interviewees
Great idea!
Good idea! We can wait it out and encourage one another together.
Last few years Chancellors threads showed the first interview email notice coming in right around 1/29-2/2. That’s not too much longer to wait!
We received an email yesterday from a regional person (we are oos) wanting to do a pre interview at our home.
Anyone else get this?
@andtam --a pre-interview specifically for Chancellors? No, did not receive that yet. That’s interesting though. D and I have read through quite a few Chancellor threads and I don’t remember ever seeing anything about a regional pre-interview. It kind of makes sense given the cost of OOS residents having to fly to campus, etc.
I agree. They said it was a pre interview to help determine if we qualify for the interview on campus. I hadn’t seen anything like this on here…
@andtam --ok, wait…the interview is at your HOME?
See the poster’s history.
I am so sorry. We spoke with the person last night. They are not from Pitt. They are involved with some type of small national scholarship that they bring to the universities that the student applied to. Very sorry for the confusion,. Has nothing to do with the Chancellors Scholarship.
How long ago did you guys get your confirmation email? I submitted my application a little over a month ago but I just now got the email saying my application was complete.
FYI, I called the Chancellor’s people at the honors office a couple days ago and they said that notification letters (both yes and no) would be sent out toward the end of January, maybe beginning of February.
Keeping our fingers crossed. I know the likelihood of winning one is slim, but it seems like those invited in previous years to interview got bumped up to full tuition. True? Hoping for an interview to get a chance to visit campus again too
Does anyone know if the above is true? Would be INCREDIBLE and greatly appreciated if so.
@jjjwyatt --I’ve gone back a few years (yeah, it’s sad that I had that much time on my hands! :)) ) and I’ve seen some years where that was the case (and they also paid for transportation and hotel for the interview) but it doesn’t seem like I recall seeing that in the most recent years.
Hopefully someone will chime in?
I just did the same thing trying to find the threads that I read it on. Unfortunately I can’t find them !! I also saw threads where transportation costs up to $500 was covered but that was several years back.
They didn’t cover travel costs last year. We paid to fly from the west coast.
Not sure if they bumped scholarships up last year either. DS was already at full tuition when he went to the interview.
I just got an email saying I’m a finalist to interview!
Congratulations!!! Does it give you an interview date??
@perch1024 — it gives you a range of dates and times to select from.
Did this come to your personal email or the portal?
