Clark Scholars 2020

I didn’t see a thread for this year’s application season, so I decided to make one myself!

On a side note, is there any way to see whether someone has submitted their recommendation?

wondering the same thing

also do u know how specific research interest essays must be?

not yet! and I think I definitely wouldn’t be in the top12. Is that everyone has been doing extremely well in SAT and GPA? Also i don’t see any hope as an international student who has a low rank in Physics Bowl… QAQ

Any chance of getting in without SAT/ACT? I haven’t taken them yet?.

@boppityboop PSAT?

Update: I found a way to tell if your recommendations have been submitted! On the application portal, if you go to the “Recommendations” section, it will either say “Recommendation has been submitted” or “Edit recommender” at the top!

Hi! I had a question: I think I filled in my application completely, but it keeps saying “99%” completed instead of 100%. Do any of you guys have the same issue?

i did lol i submitted anyway

Same here, I just submitted it. I think it’s due to the optional answers.

None of my teachers have submitted their recommendations. Is it too late now, or will will they still be accepted a few days after the deadline?

Their FAQ says that if the deadline has passed, the applicant cannot submit additional information… I’m thinking that this is the case for recommendations as I think that the team will start reviewing applications starting tomorrow.

That is incorrect. They have until March smth to complete rec letters

Yeah they have till March… what did yall apply for? sciences or humanities. i did science

Did anyone get confirmation email after submit the application ?

Could you explain where it says that?

Also, I didn’t get a confirmation email…

@sunny1228 I did science as well.

@didvk20 It’s not on the website. I wanted to see when rec letters were due, so I made a fake acc and a fake “recommender” and I got the rec letter email. In the rec letter email, it says until March.

@didvk20 It’s not because you didn’t do an optional essay. I answered the optional essay, but it still said 99%
