Eminence Scholarship

<p>Yes, Abby, you are correct. I should have been more specific and said it was a prerequisite for being selected.</p>

<p>I guess that answers my question. That qualifies as a solicitation to apply:) My D did not get this letter.</p>

<p>Does anyone know if notices are sent out via email or snail mail?</p>

<p>Are students notified even if they are not a finalist?</p>

<p>No idea…still waiting one way or the other.</p>

<p>They have already started selecting finalists for the scholarship. One of my friends got a call this past Monday about being selected as a finalist. Supposedly, OSU was initially planning to have everyone informed one way or the other by today through email but that clearly has not happened.</p>

<p>Am on the west coast. Still up doing work. Just got an email stating that I’m in the running for Eminence. I guess everyone else will get their info when they wake up tomorrow and check email.
That is one of the benefits of being “behind time” on the West…
Good luck to everyone who applied.<br>
The competition is supposed to be fierce for this at the interview round. I’m just grateful that I got selected for the interview.</p>

<p>Son recd his email Tuesday. Today another email about the interviews and events in April. I feel for you out of staters in California. Not much time to make travel arrangements. We are in state. We’re all thrilled about this opportunity</p>

<p>It IS a bummer because of the $ required to fly out to these kinds of events. Wasn’t going to visit OSU unless I made the cut for Eminence. Guess my mom has a fun day ahead of her, looking for some cheap-o airline tix!</p>

<p>Does anyone know if Finalists who do not receive the Eminence Scholarship receive some other sort of scholarship like full tuition?</p>

<p>Lorelaigirl/collegeboundCA…did they give you a date to accept by? I’m wondering if they are holding off on the thanks but no thanks emails until they fill all the spots.</p>

<p>RSVP for the interview weekend is 3/27.</p>

<p>Good luck to all students interviewing this weekend!</p>

<p>Does anyone know when we will be hearing about the results of the scholarships? I asked today in my interview and it didn’t seem like they really knew the answer. One of them did say she thought before June, but I didn’t think that made sense.</p>

<p>I believe scholarships will be awarded the middle of April. That’s strange that you were told June. If they are hoping to recruit a student with a scholarship, and students need to commit by May 1st, then June would not help their recruitment efforts.</p>

<p>How did your interview go? Did you enjoy the weekend of activities?</p>

<p>Has anyone heard about the results from last weekends Eminence interviews?
Waiting to hear before I make my final college decision!
in Agony. I would forget my California choices for Eminence/OSU.</p>

<p>Nothing here.</p>

<p>I haven’t heard either. Do you know when we are supposed to? Did your interviewers tell you?</p>

<p>We received an email tonight about the Eminence Scholarship. My D was not offered a place in the program. We are very disappointed. It is sad that a student who has a 35 on her ACT and a 4.0 at high school and postsecondary has to compete for a full ride scholarship. We are very happy for the other students who were accepted into the program and wish them well!</p>

<p>JB- are you in state?</p>

<p>Did not get Eminence after interviewing. In-state, 36 act, 2300 sat, national merit, 4.0.</p>
