<p>Has anyone received notification that they have made it to the next round and are now required to submit their official transcript?</p>
<p>Looks like the initial review was completed on 3/7/14. </p>
<p>How do we know if we got past the initial review? I haven’t received any notification…</p>
<p>From some additional research I have done it looks like emails are set to go out tomorrow to those making it to the official transcript stage: </p>
<p>Ernest F. Hollings Scholarship Program Milestones
Sep. 1 – Jan. 31, 2014: Application Period
March 7, 2014: Preliminary application review process completed.
March 25, 2014: Official transcripts due to NOAA if requested on March 12, 2014
March 28, 2014: Application review process completed and recipient selections finalized.
April 1, 2014: Notification of scholarship recipients</p>
<p>Where did you get this information? I’ve been searching everywhere for more info about the Hollings…</p>
<p>when you log into your application (user name and password) you will see a PDF document titled Hollings Application instructions. This appears above the other elements of the application marked “complete”.</p>
<p>DD received an email stating, ‘Applicants selected for the Final Review Process will be notified via email by Tuesday, March 18, 2014, to submit an official transcript.’</p>
<p>NOAA’s website now states, “Successful applicants will be notified by TUESDAY, APRIL 1, 2014.”</p>
<p>DD just got an email asking her to submit her official transcript! Roll Tide!</p>
<p>@Sniner. Congratulations to your DD.</p>
<p>Sent my transcript, received an email stating we will be notified on April 1st about final decisions. Only 13 days, fingers crossed!</p>
<p>Congrats Marinebio444! </p>
<p>I wonder how many get cut at this point- any idea?</p>
<p>I think it’s just to weed out those who don’t have the basic requirements: Sophomore standing, complete application, >3.0 GPA, etc. So probably doesn’t weed out that many…</p>
<p>My DD has a friend with SUPER stats that did not get the email yesterday.</p>
<p>Possibly something incomplete on her application? That’s the only real explanation I can give for that…</p>
<p>Have they sent out the selections yet? I made it to the final review, but recipients are supposed to be notified today (Apr 1st) and I haven’t heard anything yet :(</p>
<p>My daughter has not heard anything yet either. </p>
<p>Hope we hear something soon!</p>
<p>Nothing from UMiami yet either. According to my friend who got Hollings last year, they found out late at night (around 11:30 PM) the day of notification, so it may not be for another several hours. My friend got me really good though, sent a very official-looking email notifying me of my rejection from the program. I guess that’s what you get when the notification date falls on April Fools Day…</p>
<p>Ha! That’s so mean! Great prank.</p>
<p>I hope not a lot of people get cut from this final round. From what Sniner said, only about 3 days are between when the transcripts are due and when they make the final selections…doesn’t leave much time for them to weed through hundreds of applicants.</p>
