Should I be concerned if I haven’t been contacted for a first interview yet?
@wahoogamecocks where do you live?
@supercilious Upstate/Central South Carolina
My student was admitted to UVA (a big deal, I know), but she did not get nomination from our regional committee. She was a little bummed, but UVA is not one of her “dream” schools, so not totally blown away. Good luck to all those in the competition.
Does anyone know how students admitted EA get a nomination? My school isn’t a nominating school and I’d love to get a shot at this scholarship 
Didn’t make second round, so I asked the reasons but they refused to tell lol
how long does it take after the first interview to hear if you made second round?
for the seniors who have already been interviewed, do you have any tips or questions to look out for, for the kids who will be interviewed soon?
Hey Everyone! I am a finalist but my region only had one round of interviews. I don’t know how much help I can be with what a possible second round would be like, but here are some samples of my first
They asked me a lot about my extracurriculars and leadership. They also asked about my mission trips and they then asked what should the role be of religion is in our democracy. I’m also in Model UN so they then asked about some policy and government issues like what I would do with immigration, what should President Trump begin work on first, and what I would tell him as advice. They finished with some more questions like an important book to me, my biggest weakness and failure and my greatest successes. Hope this all helps!!
I have a state interview next week. Will they ask about other college acceptances? If so, should I say that I got into Princeton early, or not mention it?
@college61728 I’m not going to mention it; I don’t see how it could help, and it might even be detrimental.
Was just recently notified that I will not be not advancing - Central/Upstate SC. Good luck to all!
I just interviewed on Saturday! For those who have already heard back, how long did you wait from your itnerview date to get the email that you moved on or not?
@machiavelli1738 did you interview at John Hancock? If so, one of the interviewers told me that I’d hear “directly from Charlottesville” in a week or two.
@supercilious i did! maybe we saw eachother there aha. Okay! a week or two wow. i heard only 3 kids get picked from the John Hancock session to move on.
@machiavelli1738 where did you hear that? I had been told that only one (in rare cases two) candidate from each region advances to Charlottesville.
oh, one of the people there said it was three. Maybe it differs from each region? I’m not sure
Found out today DS has made it to the Finalist weekend! Anyone know anything about the Math Exam they take?
Congrats to your son! What region are you from? We are still waiting…
Thank you! His letter says the Designated Schools region? We live in central Virginia not far from UVA.
