<p>So who's doing it this year? Any past Freeman scholars here willing to give some advice?</p>
<p>And where are you from?</p>
<p>I'm in Hong Kong, and definitely applying. Wesleyan is easily my first choice.</p>
<p>Mainland China…I am also applying. Though Wesleyan is not my first choice (I applied ED to Dartmouth), it is one of my top choices (well I called a lot of colleges my top choices). How competitive do you think the program is?</p>
<p>I’d imagine it’s pretty competitive.</p>
<p>What are your stats and where else in the US are you applying?</p>
<p>I’m also going for UChic and Columbia.</p>
<p>Hi! I’m from Thailand. Hopefully I’ll at least get an interview. Relatively high stats (Don’t go to US/UK system schools) 2190 SATs 107 Toefl. Play violin 13 years. Foreign exchange student to CA. SAT IIs: Math 2 800 Physics 800 Lit 710 No national prize.</p>
<p>Applying to Amherst ED (4 more days!!!), Bowdoin, Bates, Princeton, MIT, Columbia, Swarthmore. </p>
<p>Need almost full financial aid, probably put my chance at the above mentions to almost nil. </p>
<p>Please!!! Let this year’s applicants be less than 100. Why did they ever drop the spots to 1 per country!</p>
<p>good luck with Anherst; hope you don’t have to apply to Wesleyan.</p>
<p>@mongooseberry, my stats are good but ECs are not impressive (probably why dartmouth deferred me) and I’ve applied to way too many schools…</p>
<p>Hey guys applicant from Indonesia here. When are interviews anyway? I heard around Feb, but not sure…</p>
<p>Personally I’m more worried about the <5 qualified applicants compared to the >50 average ones, and I doubt the number of seriously qualified applicants changes much every year. </p>
<p>@Claddagh, same here I applied to so many, but hey better safe then sorry I guess :/</p>
<p>I have a question!! I’m done with all my apps for Wes and I want to send my Freeman Scholarship Addendum via internet/online but does anyone know how to do that? Do I send it to Ms.Overton by e-mail…? Help!</p>
<p>So…the finalists have been confirmed in my country…</p>
<p>I just got an email yesterday, and scheduled for the 23rd Feb interview. Im from Indonesia. So did anybody else get notified for the interview session? </p>
<p>@Anansi hey, which school do you go to? And are you shortlisted for the interview? Hope we could meet :)</p>
<p>@Uncreatively where are you from?</p>
<p>haven’t got the email…guess i’m not one of the finalists…</p>
<p>Claddagh did you make it into Dartmouth? Mongooseberry what school do you go to?</p>
<p>I’m in Sha Tin College.</p>
<p>Are you from Hong Kong/also doing the FASP iPacman?</p>
<p>deferred…you?</p>
<p>Claddagh, i guess there’s still chance, since i got my notification on friday, so hopefully you’ll get it next week. Where else did you apply?</p>
<p>are you shortlisted for the interview mongooseberry?</p>
<p>slslsl: Yeah, I got an e-mail three days ago. Feb 22nd interview. Fingers crossed. What major are you thinking about?</p>
<p>I’m from Malaysia. Interview scheduled on the 21st.</p>
<p>Do you know what’s the reason for inviting our parents to the “cocktail reception” (not sure whether this is the same for other countries）? I’m quite worried about to be honest.</p>
<p>I don’t know, but I said my parents won’t attend. I guess that’s just an opportunity for your parents to get to know this school better and meet some alumni.</p>
<p>Are there any finalists from Japan?</p>
<p>mongooseberry, im thinking on taking economics 
how about you?</p>
<p>verychicindeed, idk if any Japanese is here, but i’m pretty sure all the finalists from japan already notified, since they would get the decision letter before march 1.</p>
<p>Uncreatively, lc93430, my parent is not coming to the cocktail reception, it’s not mandatory. So nothing to worry about :)</p>
<p>Are you guys nervous? because I AM. I hope ms. terri is a nice and charming lady.</p>
