<p>Post here if you get a finalist letter, since they were sent yesterday apparently! [Anticipation]</p>
<p>I guess 2 ppl did? Bump...</p>
<p>ohh it's not sent with the acceptance letter?</p>
<p>no, it comes separately...via the very angry UPS delivery man through this snow storm</p>
<p>has anyone else gotten a finalist letter yet??
I'm literally dying of anticipation..
I wish they'd send out letters saying "sorry, but you haven't gotten the scholarship" just so I wouldn't have to sit around waiting for the postman and wondering if maybe my theoretical letter got lost in the mail or will still come the next day or whatever (:</p>
<p>i got into the honors program, does that mean i have a good shot of getting one?</p>
<p>i had rele good test scores, was class president, went to boys state</p>
<p>but i didnt have a ton of volunteer work or church involvement... do i have a chance of getting the presidential? </p>
<p>I need it or i cant afford this place!</p>
<p>dido, cuseman. If i don't get this scholarship, i'm not going to BC.</p>
<p>it didnt come today... eh, its probably not coming at all at this point.</p>
<p>ahhh I got my finalist letter today!
I live in Virginia, for anyone hoping to figure out when theirs will/should have come..</p>
<p>My first post...D is waiting in Georgia. Accepted to Honors Program. Do you think there's a possibility of it coming tomorrow? Has anyone else besides VA & CT received a finalist letter? Facebook has over 300 EA for BC group and I see only 2 Finalists!!!</p>
<p>I really wanted this:( but I guess since I haven't gotten a letter yet it probably isn't coming. I had to get the scholarship in order to go to bc. does anyone know what sorts of stats you have to have to get it? I think I have a good resume except that I don't have a lot of community service and I am middle class and white. is that the problem?</p>
<p>they only take the top 1 to 2% of the whole applicant pool, and they usually only end up with 15 people from the whole country as the final presidential scholars</p>
<p>I got one in MA also.</p>
<p>Just wondering, but does anyone know about how many finalists they usually choose for the presidential scholarship?
I know that they end up picking around 15 scholars..but I'm curious about how many people they bring to BC for the finalist weekend. Considering that they pay for everyone's travel and accomodations, it can't be that many, right?
I'm just trying to figure out my chances here haha (:</p>
<p>my dad says they fly 100 back for interviews! </p>
<p>And lighten up you guys cuz if Virginia only got their letter yesterday, some of us have a few days left to wait. You are not out of the running yet- that's why only 2 peeps have posted.</p>
<p>got mine today in tampa fl</p>
<p>Gah sometimes it sucks being out here on the West Coast, I just wanna know one way or another!</p>
<p>any more news from any one on the west coast? am i out of the running if i haven't got it yet??!</p>
<p>Soserene-
Haha I was bored and looked up how long it would take to ship a letter from Boston to Portland using UPS Ground, and it said that if it was sent on Thursday, Dec. 18th (which it was), it wouldn't arrive in Portland till Monday, Dec. 29th (tomorrow). No need to worry yet!</p>
<p>thanks so much! hope i won't be disappointed . . . .</p>
