Hunt Leadership Scholarship

<p>I haven’t heard either (Michigan)</p>

<p>Can you still interview for this if you are being interviewed for presidents?</p>

<p>Hi I’m a current Hunt. You cannot interview for both the Hunt and PS.</p>

<p>Every year more apply… this year there were about 500.</p>

<p>Hi I’m a current Hunt! Congratulations! Being invited to interview is a tremendous honor and opportunity. Good luck interview weekend!</p>

<p>do you know if all invitations have been sent out? i am in the dallas area and still waiting to hear back.</p>

<p>So if I don’t get the PS then I’m not considered at all for hunt? That seems kinda weird.</p>

<p>@unodosytracy - since they do all the interviews on the same weekend and both scholarships follow roughly the same acceptance timeline, if you do not get the PS than it would be too late to get the Hunt.</p>

<p>I am a current Hunt as well, so if you have any questions I will try to answer them (if currentmustang20 doesn’t beat me to it!)</p>

<p>Two questions for the current Hunt Scholars:
Do you know if the Hunt Scholarship cancels all other merit aid, such as a Cox Scholarship?</p>

<p>Do you have any idea how many interview for it? I know 60 were invited but I am wondering about how many actually sign up to interview. I am thinking that some won’t make the trip if they have already decided on another school. </p>

<p>Thanks and congrats on your success!</p>

<p>Since we had to apply for this scholarship, do we get notified either way or just if we get invited?</p>

<p>Yeah so of we don’t hear anything, does that mean we didn’t get it? Will it come in the mail maybe tomorrow?</p>

<p>Hi everyone,
I’m not sure what will happen this year, but typically most people invited do indeed interview. I think last year there were 50 something.</p>

<p>As for merit aid, some of it is cancelled out, but not all of it. I have multiple scholarships, and 2 out of the 3 still go to my tuition. It’s a tad confusing, but your financial aid advisor will be able to help you with that.</p>

<p>First post here,</p>

<p>Did anyone else receive three emails about being selected as a finalist? The first and last were to congratulate me on being selected and the second email was a recall of the first. I’m assuming that because there was no recall of the third email that I am in fact a finalist. I’m still waiting for a letter in the mail. I’m from IN, if that helps anyone.</p>

<p>Hey Y’all, current first-year hunt here. Congrats to those of you that have been invited to interview! Couple quick facts here:
492 applied in this year’s selection process
60 have been invited to interview (almost everyone will show up to interview weekend)
If you did not make it you will most likely receive an email very soon as well as a letter in the mail. However, do not take this as discouragement, this is a very tough award to get and is ranked as one of the top 5 scholarships nationwide!!!</p>

<p>With that being said if y’all have any questions about SMU, other schools, etc. please let me know.</p>

<p>Hunts coming to interview-get excited… interview weekend is a blast</p>

<p>ponyup15 - Are you saying that all finalists have already been notified via email?</p>

<p>@kjb - Although I am not 100% sure, I believed all finalists have been notified by email. Either way, you should receive a letter even if you are not a finalist to let you know if you did not get it. Good luck though!</p>

<p>DK4783 - yes, my daughter received one email that was recalled and then the final email. My guess is that they made some mistake on the wording or attachment in the first email that they needed to correct. I am assuming that she is a finalist based on the final email she received. We haven’t received anything in the mail yet (too early for mail delivery today).</p>

<p>Another current Hunt here (can you see already how much we want you to succeed?!) and I want to wish all of you luck at interview!! It can be nerve-wracking, but we will try to help you as much as possible. Also, if you didn’t get invited to interview, please don’t be discouraged from SMU. There are so many people here with great leadership skills, it is just that the scholarship can only support so many. Again, congrats to all who have already been invited, and we can’t wait for you to experience SMU for yourselves.</p>

<p>PS-airlinefanatic, there are only two people who you could be. Way to be obvious! :)</p>

<p>Hey Y’all, I just verified that the finalist letters were written and signed by the SMU President on Saturday the 25. They were all mailed out from dallas this morning the 27th. Look for them in the mail! Best of luck</p>
