Ingram decisions are expected to be released in around 2 weeks. Anyone else anxiously waiting?
I read late January, have you heard a more specific date of notification? Does anyone know if all applicants are notified one way or another or just if you are invited to compete?
This is not personal knowledge, but merely repeating information posted on CC from past years (so this could be inaccurate or change from year-to-year):
Semi-finalists notifications have been in approximately the third week of January (so in the next week or so).
Everyone - selected or not - has received a notification e-mail.
Semi-finalists receive Skype interviews, and finalists are then selected from this semi-finalist pool.
Finalists are invited to attend the campus event.
The “winners” are then chosen from the pool of finalists on campus.
I’m guessing that since semifinalist emails have not been sent, we will be waiting until next week. Good luck to all!
Hey everyone, I’m so excited about this scholarship, I really really hope it works out. My birthday is actually the 21st so I hope that I get good news then.
@gracie21 Good luck to you then! What a birthday present that would be.
Anxiously awaiting news for my daughter as well! As a Vandy alum, I think I’m more nervous than she is! Hoping to hear something by Monday, based on last year’s timetable. I think some candidates actually received emails on Martin Luther King day last year. I don’t know if this year’s application deadline extension will extend our timetable out by a few days or not.
I just got an email saying I’m a semi-finalist
Nothing yet here - meaning that I’m probably not advancing, but oh well. I wonder if the release on MLK day coincides with the service idea. I know on Vandy’s campus today is a campus-wide community service day.
My friend who’s an Ingram scholar said they only notify semifinalists. The email I got said there are 34 semi finalists out of more than 1000 applicants so odds were really slim.
Just found out I’m a semi-finalist! Completely shocked.
In years past, I believe they’ve notified everyone that applied, with a “thanks but no thanks” for those not moving on. Either way it would be good to get an update. 
Congrats to all!
I have not gotten any emails today. Would a decision be in the MyappVU portal? Even if I’m not advancing it would be nice to know
@gracie21 I have been checking myappVU and nothing has shown up for me. The merit scholarship tab itself is gone.
@whitespace now I’m kind of freaking out and wondering if they ever got my application… I know I got a confirmation of my recommendations.
In my myappVU it showed my status as applied.
@whitespace are you going to wait a while for an email? or do you think you’re going to call them and ask for a confirmation… I might do that by the end of this week
@gracie21 I’ll probably call and ask tomorrow, if only because I need to update them on a schedule change.
Congratulations! Did you get a direct email or were you notified in your Vandy portal?
I got a direct email
