<p>Did you see the odds? I never dreamed. Not advancing is certainly no reflection on one’s abilities. Stay positive and keep doing great things, all 71,000 of you. The pool for this scholarship is just enormous. Why is that?</p>
<p>It’s because it offers the a huge amount of scholarship money.</p>
<p>Congrats to all the students who made it to the semi-finalist stage!</p>
<p>Should we send this info to our schools that we’ve already applied to?</p>
<p>@ Jasonvdm definitely!</p>
<p>just got mine today in NY!</p>
<p>Congrats! My sis, also from WA, just received an email and a letter. The letter said the website won’t be available for log on until Nov. 29th.</p>
<p>Got my semifinalist email today! So exciting.</p>
<p>I am semifinalist!!!</p>
<p>I’m a semi-finalist from Virginia, I got an e-mail!! I’m so excited right now. The e-mail came in at 3:35pm!</p>
<p>Does this scholarship take into account SAT? I’m talking about the semifinalist stage.</p>
<p>^ I’m not sure, but I know that will be indicated on my transcript automatically because that’s how the transcripts in my county are set-up…</p>
<p>So if we haven’t gotten an email yet, then we probably didn’t qualify?</p>
<p>Congrats and best of luck to everyone that is moving on!!</p>
<p>I didn’t get an email, but I got a physical letter. It was a nice surprise. :]</p>
<p>I don’t think we qualified without an email or a physical letter, I didn’t get one either =/ oh well. Congrats to everyone that made it!</p>
<p>i just got my semifinalist email! whooohoo! Now it’s time for the real application work…</p>
<p>Wait, so I’m confused. Does this count as something I should notify the colleges I’ve applied to about? Sorry if this has been asked before. I just want to double check before shooting them emails.</p>
<p>Well, granted only about 2.5% of applicants get to the semi finalist stage get through, it’s seen as pretty prestigious!</p>
<p>Haha this is like a whole new college app. Good luck to everyone! Hope to see good results in mid-February :)</p>
<p>Well, I guess that’s that for the rest of us.</p>
<p>Congrats to all the semi-finalists! :)</p>
