@WiscoRunner I HAVE THAT EXACT SAME DREAM! It terrifies me when I wake up.
@confused6789 Oh my god NO WAY!! Thatâs so funny⊠I thought I was just crazy lol! And same, I always frantically check my phone when I wake up from the dream, just to see if I actually got the scholarship or imagined it.
@WiscoRunner it is most disappointing when you realize it is a dream.
I received a Curbâs semifinalist notification yesterday, so hopefully CV is coming out soon
@xlhx33 , congratulations. Did it come as an email or letter? thanks.
Here are a list of prior release dates:
2009: March 5th, Thursday
2010: March 5th, Friday
2011: March 7th, Monday
2012: March 9th, Friday
2013: March 5th, Tuesday
2014: March 7th, Friday
2015: March 6th, Friday
2016: March 4th, Friday
2017: March 8th, Wednesday
From this, we can confidently conclude that decisions will be out within the next 3-4 days. 5th seems a very popular release date, howeverâŠ
@Sallaw and the earliest release date of March 4th was really the equivalent of March 5th since 2016 was a leap year
@Winky1 @WiscoRunner @KitBlue seems like based on past threads notification could come out this weekend. Are you all ED or RD applicants? My D18 is RD and not only would the scholarship be nice (really helpful!) but knowing she got in too! The 5 month wait for our RD application decisions is killing us! Ok mostly me - sheâs too busy with all her final IB coursework to really be concerned. She heard from EA schools so she knows she got in somewhere!
@ASKMother Iâm an RD applicant, so I definitely feel the pain of waiting too Not expecting to get the scholarship, but I donât think Iâll get enough financial aid to go to Vandy without it, if I get in, so it sure would be nice. My betâs on tonight for notification but thatâs just a random guess
No random guessing, @Wiscorunner ! My D is an RD candidate as well, @ASKMother . My D is also very busy with school and work, and still writing the random scholarship essay here and there. I am the one who is wound up, but I donât talk to her too much about all that I know, time tables, my frank thoughts. It would do her no good for me to share everything going on in my head about admissions. Not expecting the CV, but she applied, so itâs like having a lottery ticket to a jack pot. Someone gets it. Best of luck to everyone. Hope itâs sooner than later so we can move on with other decisions coming.
@Winky1 sounds like we are in same boat, trying not to stress D18 out either but every day I find a new random scholarship for her to apply to! Not really holding breath on the CV but hopeful as she has a strong service background (also applied for Chancellorâs and a Curb leadership) @WiscoRunner Iâm hoping you are right on the decisions but my gut thinks theyâll go out on Friday⊠not sure why but⊠Good luck to all! Off to scour the web for more scholarships!
@xlhx33 was it in the snail mail or by email? D18 also applied for this one but no email came through⊠our snail mail is kind of slow so Iâm holding out that you say physical mailbox!
@Sallaw Do you have release times for all those decision dates you listed? Iâm thinking probably around 5 pm Central time?
Curb was an email for me
@xlhx33 Did your portal change at all after you got Curb? Or not
@WiscoRunner Nope, and the email explicitly said that being named a semi-finalist shouldnât be construed as an offer of admission because the committees are separate
@xlhx33 Oh okay, interesting, that does make sense if youâre just a finalist and havenât received it for sure. I applied for Curb too, but no email so guess I wonât be receiving that haha
Based on previous threads, it seems that they come out in batches: a little after noon to afternoon
@xlhx33 , that seems harsh to me! Never heard of being a finalist for an award but that also not meaning acceptance!
@Winky1 I know for a fact it happens at UVA with the Jefferson scholarship. Kids are finalist and get rejected in EA.
