<p>Good luck to all you who are on pins and needles. My son didn’t apply for the Danforth Scholarship, but he is at WUSTL and what a great school. I hope it works out for you.</p>

<p>Thanks, limabeans! How right you are! My child got into the class of 2015 ED and we are thrilled.</p>

23

<p>Congrats to your son, helicoptermomma! Very exciting. I’m really hoping that today brings good news–will be nice to be in to one of my top schools! Plus the money that would let me go. Good luck to everyone!</p>

<p>helicoptermomma - I just took a huge risk and showered withOUT my phone in a baggie. But now I have to run the hair dryer so I had better put the phone on the vanity top! I read last years thread and came up with the following conclusions. It looked like the earliest phone call was at about 3pm central time and most of the Saturday calls were for Danforth. The others seemed to come on Sunday and Monday.</p>

25

<p>LOL thanks so much for the info, as now we will calm down a bit. Didn’t know the calls can extend into early next week.</p>

26

<p>anxiously waiting…</p>

<p>will you be notified if you were not selected at a finalist??? or you just won’t get a call???</p>

27

<p>As far as I can tell, if you aren’t selected as a finalist you won’t get a call. I think the way you find out if you didn’t make it is that they post the notification on the Scholarship Pathway the Monday following the weekend the calls are made.</p>

28

<p>ahhhh i just got the call that I was a finalist! i am so excited :)</p>

29

<p>Congrats purplerocks! just one question as I anxiously still wait, did you get a call on your home phone or cell phone?</p>

30

<p>it was our home phone! good luck to everyone!</p>

31

<p>Super! Way to go purplerocks!!!</p>

32

<p>Anyone else hear about dan forth?</p>

33

<p>If anyone else hears please post. We just want to know when to give up. Good luck. To all!</p>

34

<p>Does anyone know how many finalists they select and/or how many students actually receive the Danforth scholarship?</p>

35

<p>I just found out I am a finalist for the Danforth scholarship. I don’t know very much about it. Does anyone know how many people make finalist? And then how many of those finalists actually get the scholarship.</p>

36

<p>Congrats shanny, can you tell us how you found out? Phone call, email…what time?</p>

37

<p>And the wait begins for a second day…Hang in there, everyone!</p>

<p>No change yet on the Pathway.</p>

38

<p>Sigh. No calls. A wrong number from an unfamiliar phone number almost stopped my heart.
Am resigning myself to no scholarship. I would think they called most Danforths yesterday, as there are only 40 calls to make…
Sighhhhh…
Please continue to post, guys, if you get good news!
Anyone know if there is a thread for the others? Moog, Lien, Entrepreneur, etc…?</p>

39
