cornelius vanderbilt scholarship

<p>will they notify you that you got denied from the scholarship, or is it only acceptances for now??</p>

<p>they will notify you either way but it make take longer for the denials to come out. also, keep in mind that these emails are sent out by college and even then not sent at the exact same time.</p>

<p>Ah I applied engineering! I wonder if being a girl will help with this one but either way I guess I’ll know soon!</p>

<p>College of Engineering as well for me</p>

<p>Oh my goodness! My son just got an email saying he got the Cornelius scholarship, too! He’s college of A&S.</p>

<p>Congratulations to you both!</p>

<p>I got the Cornelius Vanderbilt Scholarship for the College of Engineering! Whoo!</p>

<p>This may sound like a stupid question, but I’m not a computer person. What would prevent a college from sending out a bunch of emails and getting them to people at the same time? Is there a special system that sends the emails out in intervals or something?</p>

<p>Has anybody who didn’t get the scholarship get an email yet?</p>

<p>How bout some stats from people who got the scholarship?</p>
