Gabelli Presidential Scholarship notification

Colleges and Universities A-Z Boston College

Many were asking –

Those invited to the Gabelli Presidential Scholarship Program interview overnight will receive additional information in their acceptance packet, which will be mailed no later than Monday, December 19. Approximately 60 students are invited to be further considered for this full-tution scholarship. No information is published in the acceptance letter that was e-mailed this evening. All students nominated for the GPSP overnight were also accepted into the Honors Program of their respective division.

Were these people already invited to the overnight? Or are you saying the invite will come later?

Thanks for letting us know, @DevlinHall208

@lhaffey - The ~60 students have already been decided, but the notification is only present in the mailed acceptance packet.

Can one assume that if Honors Program was not offered in the original acceptance e-mail that one will not be potentially in the pool of 60 that receives invitations? Thanks, @DevlinHall208!

@William3 - Correct. If you were not offered the Honors Program in your acceptance letter, you are not being considered for the Gabelli Presidential Scholarship.

@DevlinHall208 And roughly how many students were accepted into the Honors Program?

8

@zmeade48 Carroll School Honors Program is offered to the top 3% of the applicant pool. The honors programs for the three other schools are offered to the top 5-6% of the respective applicant pools.

So we’d find out about Wednesday? Presuming they’re mailed Monday.

@DevlinHall208 Do international students get e-mails, if they get invited to the interview for GPSP?

11

@lilydoe Yes because the mailed acceptance packet would take too long to get there (if it arrives at all). Those e-mails were sent earlier this week.

@DevlinHall208 Even though I was accepted to the honors program I am sure it’s a slim chance I am being considered for the scholarship but I am curious if the letter indicates we need to do anything before Jan 2nd? We left town on Friday and will not return until Jan 2nd. Thank you!

Got the packet, no Gabelli so someone will be getting in off the waiting list.

same @ cleoforshort
i applied just because i needed another college to apply to and I wasn’t really interested and barely looked into bc, but when I got accepted, I got a tad emotionally attached and I put all my hopes into getting at least an invitation for the overnight but i didn’t so oh well
