<p>They would have been lucky to have anyone on this board</p>
<p>Congrats to all finalists-I’ll be seeing you soon
Sorry to all those who were not chosen-I’m sure your college choices are still phenomenal</p>
<p>and for those waiting…I’m REALLY sorry…It must be nerve wracking</p>
<p>if you’re referring to DS, there was definitely something wrong during his phone interview… he didn’t get one!</p>
<p>oh sorry.</p>
<p>For some reason I thought he got one.</p>
<p>So, has anyone who had a phone interview gotten a rejection letter?</p>
<p>I got my invitation in the mail today. Made my day.
Good luck to everyone. </p>
<p>p.s. It had been posted with 61 cents and does not indicate any postage was due, but I left 50 cents in the mailbox and a note this morning to be safe based on information from this forum. The note & change was gone. It is snowing and sleeting in Memphis, so maybe the postman took it as a tip. I am happy to tip for that.</p>
<p>congrats memphis!!!</p>
<p>Remember that there are several other leadership organizations at UA.</p>
<p>For instance, there’s a group called Leadership UA. </p>
<p>Next week, they will be meeting with Dr. Witt (UA President) in regards to the school’s Ten Year Strategic Plan. There are specific “markers” that the school is tracking (such as: # of NMFs, #of AA students graduating, etc.). One marker includes the participation of Leadership UA (see bottom of list of markers). [Strategic</a> Plan for The University of Alabama, 2004-2014](<a href=“http://strategicplan.ua.edu/measures.html]Strategic”>http://strategicplan.ua.edu/measures.html)</p>
<p>There is also Peer Mentoring</p>
<p>Memphis!! Congrats!!!</p>

<p>LOL</p>
<p>I also got a finalist letter today!! Yay! I was surprised because I thought my interview didn’t go that well…
I have a few questions. Maybe I’m making this up, but I thought I read somewhere that UA reimburses finalist for the flights. Does anyone know about this? And even when we get there, the airport is far from the school, so do we all get to the school separately by cab or renting a car or will there be a shuttle for finalists? And do we have to go with a parent?
I’m just a little confused because the letter doesn’t have much logistical info.</p>
<p>Contact the UFE office about arranging for you to picked up at the airport.</p>
<p>it’s up to you if you want/need parents. Mine aren’t coming…</p>
<p>you’ll be getting an email with more info on MOnday</p>
<p>Many do NOT bring parents because parents aren’t given housing, etc.</p>
<p>Shuttles are arranged for airport pick ups</p>
<p>unfortunately not a finalist here…son thought his phone interview went well, lasted 16 minutes. so now to wait for cbhp.</p>
<p>^^^</p>
<p>Sorry to hear that. 
</p>
<p>Interesting that his phone interview went 16 minutes. I wonder how that compared to others. </p>
<p>Good luck with CBH. Be checking Crimson email. In the past, CBH used both snail and email to contact.</p>
<p>This is my first post, although I’ve been reading or “stalking” ths thread and the other UA threads for some time as our D is 95+% sure she will be attending UA in the fall.</p>
<p>She received her UFE Finalist invitaiton in the mail yesterday (no postage problems) and is very excited. My H plans to go with her for the weekend as he has not seen the campus yet. I might tag along.</p>
<p>I am very impressed with the students and parents on these UA boards and am excited that she will have such great peers!</p>
<p>Congrats to your D!!</p>
<p>What state are you from?</p>
<p>Thank you! We are from Texas. Phone interview lasted about 12 minutes.</p>
<p>How many finalists were selected?</p>
<p>How many of the finalists were at Capstone Scholars Day a couple of weeks ago?</p>
<p>So is no news better than bad news?
:P</p>
<p>My D was not at the Capstone Scholars Day.</p>
<p>Juniper…</p>
<p>I hope this person doesn’t mind me telling this. But one finalist told me that her envelope was beaten up because it obviously got stuck in the mail machines.</p>
<p>I think UFE better rethink using cutesy odd size envelopes that sound like they had a thickness to them, too.</p>
