Danforth Scholars

<p>Does anyone know whether we can send the Danforth Scholars thingy online??</p>

<p>I didn't see it. The whole process is pretty well hidden on the website, I think you're going to have to go paper.</p>

<p>Seems like I better hurry up with my application then :(</p>

<p>why are there no recs needed for danforth? I thought the danforth was pretty selective seeing as how you have to be nominated, but the form I got only needed a few essays.</p>

<p>Whoever nominates you for the Danforth (usually a counselor) must submit a recommendation on your behalf along with the nomination form.</p>

<p>why is danforth so hidden on the wash u site and does anyone know when we hear back?</p>

<p>crazyazn: because unless your GC and school know about it and nominate you, you cannot apply for it...Unlike Emory Scholars (which is on the website, but same procedure), Wash U chose to keep this under wraps (not unlike other things at Wash U)...Not bashing; amazing place, d loved it and is applying RD, but those are the facts.....Our school had NO IDEA about Danforth; oh well.....</p>

<p>well i would think that they could at least put it out ther with the requirements and then students could express their interest to their GC.</p>

<p>Can you use the same essay for Danforth as you used for the commonapp? Do different people look at it?</p>
