Eminence Fellows Class of 2021

Anyone receive a response yet on your Eminence Fellow application?

Have not heard. Application deadline was Feb 1. If anyone hears of decision dates or gets response please post. Thanks!

No but I created a groupme chat for anyone who applied so we can start getting to know each other. PM me name&a phone number if you want to be added!

They said end of the month.

@d012939 A little presumptuous no? Very competitive scholarship.

@itsgettingreal17 oh I know how competitive it is. But it’s just a good way to start making friends with other like-minded students, even though very few will even become finalists. Nothing wrong with that!

Still no word here, anyone here anything?

Nothing yet.

Nothing here other than getting my Morrill rejection letter… the Eminence website changed to saying that finalists will be announced by March 6th, so I would assume we have to wait 1 more week

Nothing here yet.

Still nothing here. Morrill reject as well. Anyone know how many applicants versus interviews versus offers generally?

1200+ Applicants, 75 interviews, 25 offers. It’s pretty tough @Alba52

Just received the email that I was named a finalist! :smiley:

Can confirm @Rowenna that emails are out. (Just for those who tend to distrust the first-posters.) And congrats to all finalists!

Not a finalist. Congrats! @Rowenna

Not a finalist. No eminence= no OSU

My D has received email today for being a named finalist of the program!

Anyone who is a finalist, do you mind sharing your stats and what you wrote about? I know it was super competitive, but I’m just curious as to what they deemed more worthy than everyone else

My son is an Eminence Finalist - does anyone know how long after the interview they make the decision? He’s been offered a scholarship from another university that has an April 15 acceptance deadline, and is wondering if OSU will notify finalists of the results before then. Anyone have an idea, or know how soon they notifiied in previous years?
