College Park Scholars Info

<p>due it by jan14th</p>

<p>I think you mean February 14th</p>

<p>yes yea of course my bad lol</p>

<p>So what are the two short answer questions for the interest inventory? And how short? My S hasn’t gotten to that point yet but I want to help him plan for how long it will take to answer them. Can you change the preferences you have selected before you submit (by Feb 14?)</p>

<p>Okay, finally gave it a try and was able to get to the questions without saving the preferences irrevocably. Not too bad. </p>

<p>had anyone receiced a scholarship?</p>

<p>Scholarships have not been announced yet for this year (notifications are usually end of Feb/beginning March), but if you are asking if scholars can get scholarships, the answer is absolutely, yes they can. My son received a nice Presidential scholarship which is four years, and we are OOS. FYI, there are students that are invited to honors that do not get scholarships and scholars that do not get scholarships, so awards are not tied to the program you are invited to.</p>

<p>so i did my inventory thing for scholars…when do i hear back about which program i got into? I am hoping for thw public health one:)</p>

<p>do u think they might send the scholarship info soon? like late feb…i hope so cause im so inpatient lol</p>

<p>impatient enough to not read the post two above yours, it seems.</p>

<p>my 2 questions were mot answered above :/</p>

<p>i was referring only to the second question you asked. maryversity told you:</p>

<p>“Scholarships have not been announced yet for this year (notifications are usually end of Feb/beginning March” </p>

<p>I cannot help you with your other question.</p>

<p>Scholars will notify you about which program you got in around Mid-March…at least that’s what they did two years ago…</p>

<p>thanks</p>

<p>does anyone know if the admitted open house this friday has a special scholars program? like do we get to see the scholars dorms?</p>

<p>“Join current College Park Scholars students, faculty and staff at the University of Maryland to learn more about the program. You will also have the opportunity to tour the College Park Scholars residential facilities.”

<p>Yes, all open houses have breakout sessions for scholars and you should be able to see at least one of the dorm rooms in one of the residence halls, even though it might not be the dorm your specific program is assigned to. It depends on the availability of the students who have kindly agreed to let students take a peek in their rooms, so not something that the school can control. Remember, students are currently living there and not too many are willing to clean up for hoards of strangers to come in and see…so, when you do visit, make sure to thank the student(s) whose room you visit because it is not exactly convenient for them to do this, but they are doing it voluntarily because they know how important it is for you, as a prospective student.</p>

<p>Here is a sample itinerary from last year so you can see how the day is run.

<p>thank you:) it sounds helpful!</p>

<p>My pleasure - have a great visit! </p>

<p>Be sure to get some homemade ice cream at The Dairy while you are there (I’ve heard it has moved from Turner Hall (visitor center) to the Stamp Student Union food court).</p>

<p>everyone login into the inventory page because it tells you which of the 12 scholars program you got into. I am in the Global Public Health one:)</p>

<p>Hopefully honors people find out tomorrow</p>
