My son is waiting also. :pray:t4:

Same Here, no word. Anyone know the plan for the selection week (3 weeks out), on March 19-20th, is it in person/virtual?

The website says it’s likely to be a virtual process…however pending any 2021 updates it could be in person.

@PBHOU03 As a public health practitioner, I can’t fathom anything other than a virtual experience for the Selection Weekend, in accordance with local and federal regulations preventing mass gatherings

All of the letters have come out on the same day @Jrmcafee… Washington DC has probably been the strictest city in America when it comes to the pandemic so everything will be virtual for selection weekend. The students from the 4th cohort have not officially been on campus for any activities since being selected last year.

Congratulations to your daughter. Please take a moment and enjoy this and I am praying for the students selected as I can personally attest to the life-changing nature of having my kids selected as Karsh STEM Scholars. This thread has a lot of good information, but let me know if you have any questions.

I guess it is safe to assume that she was accepted to HU since she is a semi finalist.

Hey @ChangeTheGame this forum has been so useful in this whole application process. Do you have any tips for the math placement test along with the interview portion? If so could you please PM them to me? Again thanks for keeping this forum active and being a wonderful resource!
