<p>Hey...I was wondering if anyone on this site was nominated to be for the William and Mary College Scholar program? I was nominated by my h.s....</p>
<p>I'd be interested to hear about this as well. Congrats, mattyblueyes, on the nomination! Are you from VA or one of the 200 recognized schools that are allowed to nominate students? It sounds like a great program - here's the site for those seeking more info:</p>

<p>I'm from one of the 200 schools...Regis High School in New York, NY</p>
<p>Congrats... that's a big nomination. There's only 4 of them this year, not sure if they're expanding it or not. One of them is a College Scholar, Monroe Scholar, and Sharpe Scholar. o_O</p>
<p>I was also a nominee, but from VA...do you know when we'll hear whether or not we're finalists?</p>
<p>Nevermind...got a letter today...DENIED
Oh well, only fifteen are finalists out of 500 extremely qualified applicants= didn't expect it anyways.</p>
<p>Have you heard back from them yet?</p>
<p>I haven't heard anything from them...I'm sorry about that, however just being a nominee is very impressive (it is almost impossible to get the scholarship). I was wondering if they told you whether you got into W & M anyway, like you were denied the scholarship, but accepted to school?</p>
<p>No...it said that I would hear a final decision on admission at the end of March, and ends by saying "Best of luck to you in your college search" which is stupid because I'm not searching for schools anymore I'm trying to get in!!!</p>
<p>Good luck to you, hope your letter brings good news!</p>
<p>Rkelly,,,I received the same news...I laughed at that college search section also. Oh well, the competition for that scholarship is rough...I wish we could find someone who became a finalist and check out their stats</p>
<p>Yeah, but their stats are probably sick and would just make my ego shrink to the size of a grain of salt.</p>
<p>Mattyblueyes, did you get Monroe scholars?</p>
<p>Nope...I dont believe so...I haven't heard anything yet. Did you R?</p>
<p>No...I thought college scholars rejects would at least have a good shot for monroe scholars!</p>
<p>I did at least get my letter of admission yesterday (which was nice because it is the only school I've heard back from). You'll probably get yours on monday since you're out of state (Good luck!)</p>
<p>Last week I got my acceptance telling me I was a Monroe Scholar, so I think they must tell you in your admissions letter if you got it or not.</p>
