<p>Hi guys, I applied to Syracuse CAS and was just wondering if anyone knew if the coronat scholarship applications have been sent out yet. I have a small chance of getting asked (though it's probably not likely), so please just let me know if anyone's heard yet so I can stop stressing myself out not knowing!</p>
<p>I received an email this morning.</p>
<p>I got mine in a letter today. It was dated from the 28th. </p>
<p>Do you know how many people get invited? Also, how do you apply to the honors college?</p>
<p>yeah, i actually got an email the day after i posted the question. now we just have to worry about writing these essays by next week! and the 4th one is so open i dont know what they want! but i havent looked into to honors college very much so i cant really answer your question 
but from the information i’ve found about coronot scholars, they ask 100-200 (although i think closer to 100?) and then pick 15 or 20 or to come interview and 10 to get the scholarship. i could be wrong about that though!</p>
<p>Hi all – a parent here, with some info. on last year’s Coronat process. (I know that I combed CC for information last year!)</p>
<p>For 2012: Invitations to apply emailed Feb. 1; finalists notified by email Feb. 27; Coronat Scholars interview days March 19 - 21; scholarship winners emailed March 26th</p>
<p>I don’t know exactly how many were invited to apply last year – I heard around 100, but I’m not sure about that. I believe there were about 35 finalists, and about 25 were offered scholarships.</p>
<p>It’s a tremendous program, and Syracuse is an awesome school. Good luck to you all! (Go Orange!) :)</p>
<p>thanks for that information! that kinda made the odds seem a little more in our favor! just curious, did your son or daughter end up attending syracuse??</p>
<p>CCgrl13 – Yes, she’s a second semester freshman, and loving the Cuse!</p>
<p>WalkingTessie- Do you know anything about what the interview process is like for the finalists?</p>
<p>erg2017 – I can give you an idea of what last year’s process was like:</p>
<p>Monday – Travel to SU; group dinner</p>
<p>Tuesday – Group meals; individual interviews are scheduled thoughout the day, and class visits and tours are scheduled around those times. Evening lecture by a visiting author.</p>
<p>Wednesday – Group meals; group interviews scheduled throughout the morning. Some students departing in the afternoon. For those remaining, group dinner off campus, and </p>
<p>Thursday – Farewell breakfast</p>
<p>I should also mention that all travel expenses were paid by Syracuse, and the students were housed in the very nice Sheraton right on campus. Hope this helps!</p>
<p>I finished all the essays except the last one…i have no idea what to write! lol it would be easier if they just told us what they wanted to know</p>
<p>WalkingTessie - if by the rare chance that I am invited for the interviews, I’ll be driving to Syracuse. Would they cover gas money?</p>
<p>imwishing73 – I don’t know for sure, but my guess would be “yes”. The people my D worked with last year to make her travel arrangements were extremely helpful and accommodating. Good luck!</p>
<p>Does anyone know if we are supposed to make the cover page our email, or just an attachment to the email?</p>
<p>I made mine part of the attachment</p>
<p>Well, shall we all sit around and worry together now? :)</p>
<p>haha i guess so, I can’t stop thinking about it though! Does anyone have any idea around when finalists are supposed to hear back?</p>
<p>I made mine part of the attachment. I’m freaking out too! I heard that they’ll let us know by the end of february which is relatively soon but still feels like a long time away.</p>
<p>Yupp, I think around the end of February. I really don’t want to set my hopes too high, but at the same time I can’t just give up hope! Really trying not to think about it because getting myself in a tizzy won’t solve anything :)</p>
<p>yeah, that is pretty soon though, which makes this a little easier! I know that it’s really competitive and I probably don’t have much of a chance…but I’m still fantasizing about the idea of it! ugh :/</p>
<p>I can’t stop thinking about it either! I’ve even been watching the syracuse basketball games and I never watch sports so that’s a pretty big deal for me. It’s a long shot but I really hope we all get it!!</p>
