When would they notify those who applied if whether or not they will get an interview? Apparently the interview will be held on March 21st, so would they notify people at the start of March?
they said they would notify us at the end of february
Sweet thats sooner than I thought. Where did you find that by the way? I looked EVERYWHERE.
i read it on the website i think, or something i received from them said it would be late february
Has anyone heard back about the interview yet?
Nope. I’m hopeful for late February but am expecting early March.
I just emailed FSU, and they said notifications will be released by 5 PM tomorrow… Good luck to everyone!
I didn’t get invited:(. Oh well, guess it’s off to UF I go.
My son received an invite via email this afternoon. The email contained limited information; the itinerary and further instructions will be mailed. We are looking forward to finding out more about the program as there is not much information on FSU’s website.
My son is currently in the program and it is an awesome experience. He is about to go study abroad in London over the Summer and the program is paying the entire bill. The interview process is intense they brought in 100 candidates for a two day interview. Day one is learning about the program, visiting the President’s house in the evening. Day two begins the interview process. The end up taking 25 candidates out of the 100. The Presidential Scholars are awarded $4,800 per year for 4 years and up to $12,600 to travel abroad. They are also given the opportunity to work directly with professors on one on one programs. They are required to take a certain amount of honors level classes and meet once every other Friday for different programs. Hope this helps a little for those applying, good luck.
P.S. Last year they also waived out of state tuition for anyone who is not a Florida resident.
