<p>well people, i got deans today. i guess its not that bad- no need to interview</p>
<p>Hm... well that probably means I'll get one tomorrow too since I live in Chicago. It seems kind of pointless for them to offer me a dean's though, since I wont even be able to use it with the NMF Presidential. It's nice of them to offer I suppose...in case I didn't make it to NMF.</p>
<p>madamebovary - Didn't you get a letter about scholarship interviews? Or am I just imagining...</p>
<p>i wish i got interview.</p>
<p>What? That was a terrible sentence...</p>
<p>Should it read "I wish. I got an interview." or "I wish that I got an interview."?</p>
<p>i wish that i got an interview</p>
<p>:(
I haven't found out about NMF yet :( and I was expecting it today....</p>
<p>tears</p>
<p>i got the letter thurs so I'm pretty sure you will have yours today! =]</p>
<p>Which letter?</p>
<p>yayyy!! got my letter! I'm a finalist! :)</p>
<p>but what worries me is that at the bottom, under University of Southern California, it says</p>
<p>"We will begin mailing Merit Scholarship offers to winners at their home addresses in March. Finalists who have not been chosen to receive a Merit Scholarship award will be informed in mid-May, after most selections have been completed."
so does this mean that not ALL NMFinalists get presidential?</p>
<p>Argh! I hate how Canada doesn't deliver mail on Saturday! This is two days of just waiting for Monday so I have the possibility of getting a letter! :(</p>
<p>does canada participate in National Merit as well?</p>
<p>No, I was just commenting generally about scholarships. I think you have to be a US citizen for National Merit (although everybody at my school did take the PSAT).</p>
<p>I just got my scholarship letter from USC for national Merit Finalist Presidential. It says I'm only two steps away from receiving it.</p>
<ol>
<li>I have to advance to Finalist standing.</li>
<li>I have to designate USC as my first choice institution.</li>
</ol>
<p>I have done both already =] IT also says that those of us who don't receive an additional scholarship from National Merit ( the $2,500 ones or a corporate one) will get an additional $1,000 per year. So all in all it should be about $18,000 per year? X_X</p>
<p>Guess no more trustees for me.</p>
<p>i would be extremely happy with that. 18k a year in merit is a ton of money. u should be thankful</p>
<p>I am thankful..just it won't do me any good if I can't use it? I know for a fact that without a trustees, my dad is not going to pay for me to go to USC..thus I most likely will not be going to USC next fall.</p>
<p>There are other scholarships once you are a student.</p>
<p>Not many...</p>
<p>Does NM Finalist really take you out of Trustees? That sucks. Either that, or I really would not have qualified anyway.</p>
<p>Oh my gosh, where did you hear that? If NM finalist would take me out of contention Trustee, I'd be pretty screwed over. Really screwed over, actually.</p>
