Icahn Scholars Program

Prep School Admissions
1

<p>I just wanted to create a thread for those who have applied for the Icahn Scholarship ;) The deadline was last Thursday, and I just wanted to share thoughts. Personally, it sounds like a dream come true for those selected, and I hope that my application really depicted myself (by the way, some of those questions...wow! I really fumbled with the answers.)</p>

<p>For those of you who don't know, the Icahn Scholars Program was founded in 1997. It's aimed to give qualified students who require full tuition more opportunities; one of them is being able to attend Choate Rosemary Hall.</p>

<p>212 views and no reply? That’s just *great…*By the way, does one have to participate in an interview for the Icahn Scholars Program?</p>

5

<p>Because I joined CC late, if you see. I joined on January 12-which was already after the deadline. Sorry if it caused hassle!</p>

<p>Did anyone else get a postcard from Julie Goodyear? I was just wondering whether everyone got one. It was such a sweet gesture, and if she wrote one for everyone, she must be really dedicated!</p>

<p>@17ayou: When did you get it? What did it say? And did she follow up with any other communication? (if you don’t mind me asking)</p>

8

<p>I got it in the middle of January after I submitted my application, and it was some comments about what I wrote. She hasn’t contacted me again so far, so I’m just holding on until March 9th :)</p>

<p>Aren’t we all? :slight_smile: I applied for the program, but am skeptical about whether or not I’ll be accepted; I haven’t gotten any postcards like you have! They sound really nice; Ms. Goodyear really seems to like her job; she’s quite dedicated.</p>

<p>Good luck! :D</p>
