<p>Just applied for this scholarship...anyone else apply?</p>
<p>Yes, I did.
What is the nature and extent of your business.</p>
<p>Awesome. I run a structured wiring corporation. We also do preconstruction wiring. Mainly phone/cable/internet. What business do you run?</p>
<p>Typical online retail.
Could you explain to me how you run a corporation at 17? What is your ticker?</p>
<p>I applied. :] </p>
<p>What do you guys think about the extension of the deadline? Did they do this due to a lack of applicants?</p>
<p>It mentioned computer issues... I know I experienced a few errors trying to fill the application out on my Mac. I was finally able to complete the application at 11pm the day of the extended deadline. Phew!</p>
<p>Ah yes, I originally experienced such issues. The application was pretty much meant to be filled out in Internet Explorer.</p>
<p>Sorry, been busy....Its not public, so no ticker. I had a few problems applying to, had to call and figure it out. When do you think we find out? Woo, what do you do? </p>
<p>I actually have no clue how I opened a corporation at 17...They never said anything at the courthouse, so I just went with it haha.</p>
<p>I'm an eBay Powerseller.</p>
<p>when do you guys think that we'll hear from the foundation?</p>
<p>Last year, applicants found out whether they could advance to the interview round on the 8th of February. So I assume we will be hearing from them soon. I originally registered with an inactive e-mail and went on to later update it so I hope they contact my correct e-mail address. Definitely keep me updated if you guys get any messages.</p>
<p>Does anyone know the "acceptance rate" of this scholarship? I mean, I know 100 students get it in the end.. but does anyone know how many apply? Thanks :]</p>
<p>I don't know but that would definitely be interesting to find out.</p>
<p>keep in mind that the deadline was extended this year due to application malfunctions with macs.</p>
<p>Yeah, I actually had a problem at first and ended up having to call them directly. Let me know if you guys hear anything at all!</p>
<p>anybody heard anything yet?</p>
<p>nope, you?</p>
<p>not at all..just wondering. Im getting kind of anxious though!</p>
<p>still nothing?</p>
<p>nope :(</p>
<p>I'm going out of town from March 11th - 26th and I won't have internet access so I'm a bit worried if we hear during that time I won't be able to respond for and interview (if I get lucky..). Should I email Mrs. McKelvey about it?</p>
