<p>I’m from TN and haven’t heard aynthing… doesn’t seem good I guess. Oh well.</p>
<p>Know an Ohio, Indiana, Michigan finalist</p>
<p>Could you please tell me why you think you were selected as a finalist? </p>
<p>Thanks!!</p>
<p>I am a winner.</p>
<p>i think i was seelcted as finalist bc of my intesne community service.</p>
<p>also getting good recs are also great bc nordstrom connects with them directly without ur knowing</p>
<p>obviously spelling was not a criteria lol actually on the essay spelling and gram are a must</p>
<p>If you are chosen as a finalist and go in for an in person interview, here’s my advice:
Be extremely personable and get to know your interviewers! I actually went around the room and shook everyone’s hand and asked their names. Honestly, my interviewers told me that it made a difference. Also, keep in contact! After your interview, send a follow up e-mail saying thank for the opportunity. I did that, and the Nordstrom board contacted me to put me on the main page of the scholarship website (I’m the left picture - Whoohoo!).
Good luck :)</p>
<p>Thx a lot.
I really hope that i get chosen and when i do i will def follow ur advice. :)</p>
<p>Just a heads up, semi-finalists from this year have been emailed! Fortunate to be one of them… from Los Angeles, California!</p>
