INSIDER INFO! Alumni scholarships

<p>kfc4u- how do u know about the 8-9 thing? you dont meet the others do you? thats really weird i dont want to do that!</p>

<p>if its about extracurriculars and stuff (esp leadership) that is awesome but im still not liking the question about who i want to be for a day- I HATE THAT STUFF.</p>

<p>you don't really get to meet the others only because everyone has like a 30 minute time slot or something, so there is some buffer time between the candidates. it's an individual interview with a small panel (maybe 3 alumni). however, you'll probably see the one who interviewed before you come out while you're waiting, and you'll probably see the one that's waiting for the next interview too. i know about the 8-9 because i saw the list that the check-in kid had (some younger brother of a young alumni) and i asked him how many were interviewing and he told me. he also told me about which schools these kids were from since i was just wondering what my area or region included. but he was a nice kid. no guarantee your check-in guy will be as nice haha. </p>

<p>but if you don't like meeting other candidates, then you'll have trouble during state finals. i'll explain why if you make it past the first round.</p>

<p>oh god....THREE ALUMNI? im freaking out............</p>

<p>yermama, UCR's alumni scholarship interview had SIX alumni. however, those six alumni were much more personable and better interviewers than the UCLA ones. i thought the ucla interview was rather cut and dry.</p>

<p>ugh any more tips besides "be yourself" before i die tomorrow?</p>

<p>have fun and relax. the scholarship committee is out to REWARD you, not grill you. think of it that way. seriously. good luck =)</p>

<p>By next week, if don't get a call, we're out of the competition?</p>

<p>Wow, I wish I had found this board/post sooner. x_x By the way, the interview lasted 10 minutes in my area.</p>
