Ervin Scholars

<p>I just got accepted as a finalist for the Ervil Scholars Program and was wondering if anyone else did? Also, does anyone know how many Ervin Scholars Finalists there are and how many actually get scholarships?</p>

<p>I got the "unfortunatley you did not make the finalists" letter. But good luck to you! What are your stats like?</p>

<p>Did you get the letter in regular mail or e-mail. What type of envelope was it in? Does it say what you have to do next? Have you already been accepted to the school or are you still waiting for RD?</p>

<p>my stats:
umm... I don't know how much info you want, but here are the basics you can easily compare to your own i guess
sat: 1430 (best=720 v, 720 m on separate occasions)
act: 30 (33 e, 34 m, 26 r, 27 s)
9 ap classes (5 this year)
race: white/portuguese
hobbies/talents: nationally ranked triathlete, cross-country, track, volunteer, swimming, art, photography
good rec and essay
?</p>

<p>altgirl: I was accepted in ED1. The scholarship letter came in a regular Wash u white envelope just like my two other rejection letters (so there is no way to tell the difference between an acceptance and a rejection letter from the outside (I was not a finalist for the architecture one or moog one)).</p>

<p>i'm still waiting to hear from any of the three scholarship programs. has anyone heard from olin, honorary art, or entreprenurial?</p>

<p>So if you are a regular decision student, do you hear about the scholarship first and then admissions decision? Or can you assume if are a finalist for the Ervin Scholars, you are admitted to the University?</p>

<p>If you are named a finalist (correct me if I am mistaken) I believe you can assume you are admitted. (but that doesn't mean if you are not chosen as a finalist that you are not going to be admitted)</p>

<p>Christini, did you by any chance get a call before? Some lady called me to say I was a finalist, but I haven't actually gotten an official letter, so I hope its not a prank...hahah. Anyway, do you have to goto Wash U to interview because the lady said I did.</p>

<p>I was admimtted as an Ervin for ED I back in december...nice to meet some others. I'll be meeting all you other finalist during the March Interview weekend and I look forward to it. My admissions officer, Jerome Strickland, and the assistant director of the Ervin program told me that all finalists for Ervin will be admitted. I am interested to know how many finalists were selected.</p>

<p>I did get a call from a lady ("laura," i believe) checking that I had recieved the information the same day that I did recieved the information (I did not personally talk to her because I wasn't home, but my mom did).
I am also very interested to know how many other finalists there are, so if anyone finds out, please let me know.</p>

<p>yea...thats laura stephenson, the assistant director of the program. So if she calls again, you can ask her about it.</p>

<p>Did anyone else get named a Finalist for the Ervin Scholars Program?</p>

<p>Does anyone know how many people did?</p>

<p>I'm a finalist, so I imagine I'll meet some of you at the end of March.</p>

<p>One thing that sucks though: I'll be in St. Louis when my admissions decisions from the Triumvurate (HYP) come back. Oh the suspense...</p>

<p>I have your answer!</p>

<p>There are approx. 75 finalists vying for 10 positions, and I, too, and one of them. See you guys in March/April...</p>

<p>Oh my, 75. That is way more than the other honorary scholarship (that I was rejected from). Most others had roughly half that.</p>

<p>I may have been wrong. One of the ladies said 75 coming for the weekend. She could be talking about the combined total of Ervin and Rodriguez finalists, or it could be 75 for each. I'm not sure.</p>

<p>well its all official 77 ervin finalists went to St. Louis for the weekend and an estimated 20 partial and full ervin's have survived. im a full tuition scolarship winner (out of pure luck it seems, everyone was so qualified), and would love to hear from other students</p>

<p>What's your name? Maybe I will remember you from the weekend. And did they send you a letter in the mail or tell you in person?</p>

<p>im jaimie, and laura stephensen, and james mcloud both called me. o yeah and they said that a letter would arrive this week with the official details and cogradulations etc</p>

<p>my name is greg, i was an ED Ervin... not sure if i remember a Jamie but i mioght be a bit forgetfull</p>
