@Euclid314 did gates seriously only select 2000 from 50-60k applicants??? where did you get that data?
@isicim012 Why is your British education so similar to American? Boy Scouts? They have that in Britain too?
I was really expecting Harvard to announce its decision date today…
@nijusohc Around 50,000 applied for the Gates Scholarship last year before it was rebranded. So realistically the number of applicants went up.
@Euclid314 Were you talking about Gates Millennium Scholarship? It says 300 will be granted on its website. So what’s that 2000 number?
@Euclid314 Never mind. You meant 2000 semifinalists. I got it. My guess is it doesn’t have much an impact to SCEA.
well Gates just released their new phase two applicant results so for those who submitted, I’d check ur emails lol
I think the live Instagram event is mostly about tips for RD applicants, not an announcement of the date of SCEA results.
Surely they will announce by Friday. That’s not too long to wait. So we can wait some more…
@worldwide1 Agreed… really disappointing haha
I surely wish you all the best!! My son received a huge financial offer from his 2nd choice today so he will have a lot to think about if he gets accepted to H and it will lesson the blow of a deferral considerably!
@nrsebayer I’m guessing your son applied to a public university? That’s great that he already has an option of a college to go to if he doesn’t eventually get accepted to Harvard.
No a private school RD. Although he did apply to 3 state schools EA and has been accepted to 1 but no financials yet
I was accepted for admission at one of the service academies, but all of the private schools I’m applying to regular decision are not rolling admission. So, I’m going to have to wait until March or April when they send out their decisions.
Sorry let me clarify-this was an offer based on admission …so he as not been admitted yet. But this school has shown a lot of interest in him and he has a legacy so he feels fairly confident about admission.
They do not however have rowing so that may come into play.
@Kps1990 which service academy? That’s a huge achievement you should be very proud!
Okay. So they sent him a financial package as an incentive to go to that school?
I guess??
I wonder if competing schools know when you’ve applied SCEA to another school? Is that possible?
