<p>How many people got notified of their finalist status for the leadership scholarship... how exclusive is it.. it would be a 6 hour drive or a $150 flight for me to go to the interviews that they have offered me, do you think I should take them up on the opportunity?</p>
<p>my leadership scholarship interview was by phone, you're talking about the alumni leadership award right? I don't know how exclusive it is, i think like 250 freshmen get it a year, but i'm not sure. it's $1500 a year, not bad but not huge.</p>
<p>A 6 hour drive is totally unfair. You should call the office to see if you can get a phone interview--</p>
<p>do you mean the semifinalist status?</p>
<p>i got the semifinalist notification, but not yet the finalist one.</p>
<p>and if for some reason you can't get a phone interview, i still think the interview would be worth it.</p>
<p>I got the notification that I was a finalist just right now, and my interview is at 9:45 on April 14th. I think she said something about my interview being in Huntington? Not really sure, but I don't really wanna drive all the way up to Berkeley. Jeez.</p>
<p>i got notification that i was a finalist... and my interview is this saturday! my interview is about 30-45 min away... i live in socal.</p>
<p>yeah it seems like a ton of people were semifinalists, and now a ton of peopel are finalists. like the OP kinda asked, does anyone know how many pepole are deemed finalists?</p>
<p>to those finalists, were you notified via e-mail or via phone (that you got an interview)?</p>
<p>E-mail.

Yeah, I'm wondering about that too, because it seems like a lot of people got the finalist status. My interview is on campus during Cal Day.</p>
<p>email, less than an hour ago..</p>
<p>phone for me. they called me about interviews and said there were 5 spots for my county.</p>
<p>I got an email - didn't say anything about how many were being offered. My interview is really close by, though.</p>
<p>my daughter is having her first interview for this this Sat
must be we're behind down here in San Diego</p>
<p>OK- I just saw the email and she is a semi-finalist and the best part is that you can do an overnight
but hurry, there are only 4 spots left for the overnight for girls only, everyone else has to go on a waiting list (warning- you have to write a short,"fun" essay to register!)</p>
<p>you should have an email</p>
<p>so are people already getting finalist status?</p>
<p>wecandothis: i am from SD and my interview was over the phone with a grad student who was in her car driving at the time. i don't ever recall hearing anything about finalist status, i just got the notification i got the scholarship.</p>
<p>d got email today and we are in the la area. We were told she mail finalist round and would have an interview sometime this next week possibly. does this mean not everyone gets an interview?</p>
