Anybody else apply? Anybody know when we will be hearing or if that has already passed?
Also, I tried to login because the email they sent when I submitted the application said to login to view the application status, but the system says there is not an account under my email??? Yet, I have the confirmation email that I submitted the application, how is this possible? And it is not a âpasswordâ problem.
I heard back in late March.
Supposedly semifinalist notifications sent out today.
Wow
Thanks for the update!
Anyone here anything?
Just received notification. Wasnât selected.
Good luck everyone else with this and others!
Yes, my student was notified - semifinalist.
Semi-Finalist here!!! Does anyone know how many were selected?
Iâm a semifinalist! Super excited (: @courtneythurston do you know what comes next??
My daughter is a semifinalist. I wonder how many there are too? Now we wait a month to find out?
Iâm a semifinalist.
@CourtneyThurston Could you tell us what supplemental materials are asked for moving forward? Also, would you have a clue how many semifinalists were selected your year? All I know right now is that Iâll be hearing from them soon enough, but Iâm really excited, haha.
Congrats to all the other semifinalists, I am one as well and absolutely ecstatic about this awesome opportunity. I know this has been asked already, but I would love to know how many semifinalists were selected from the application pool if anyone can get that information as well as an idea of what to expect in the next âphaseâ of the application process.
Semifinalist here!
@Josie1616 There are 50 semifinalists and 30-40 are chosen as finalists, according to the website / email I got.
@MasterLillyclaw The email I got, which should be the same, said This year the Cooke Foundation received over 4,400 applications from students around the country and will choose only 50 College Scholars., which I took to mean that there will be 50 when all is said and done, and has nothing to do with how many semifinalists were chosen. I could be wrong and hope I am because if so those are great odds
Someone on Questbridge facebook group said he called them and they said there were 600 out of 4400 applicants chosen as semi-finalist. Then 40 or 50 people will be finalists, and the finalist notifications will come in March.
@nagkhieu Do you know if they said anything about the process moving forward, or what supplemental materials theyâll ask for from semifinalists?
@Josie1616 Yeah I checked again later and realized I was wrong.
Courtney said they donât ask for any other info. (or at least she said they didnât in 2015)
I donât think theyâd notify semifinalists if there wasnât a secondary process or submission. Otherwise theyâd probably just send final decisions. It sounds like her year it was different.
Donât know, last year had semifinalists too (you can read thru the old threads). Weâll see! Iâd prefer it if we had to provide more info, my student has more accomplishments since October to add!
