Please feel free to use this forum for discussion/inquiry on educating ourselves about this program for Fall 2019 applicants. The semi-finalist notification will be sent out soon (late Jan/early Feb). Finger crossed for all applicants!
@ufalumn1997 My kid did not make it further as of today either. Good luck to all
My daughter is a semi finalist. Does anyone know what the next step is? I am assuming they will request financial information.
The winners were announced today.
They accepted 106 applicants from a pool of over 5500, for a total acceptance rate under 2%!
It’s actually even lower, as a large portion (usually around half) of that class were previously Young Scholars. The acceptance rate for new applicants is extraordinarily low.
Can someone here shed light on whether you are supposed to submit a copy of your unofficial or official test score to them? There is not place to upload an official test score in the Common App and you can’t ask ACT to send them a score because they don’t have a college code. Also, any tips for the 2019-20 application would be much appreciated.
