Park Scholar Scholarship

Did any Park Scholar Scholarship applicants get your letter saying if you’re finalist or not yet? I know all letters will be sent out by March 1st but I’m curious if anyone has receive theirs yet?

My D has not received a status update on her Park Scholar application.

My D has not heard yet. I heard finalists would get a phone call?

I am still waiting. It says that we will receive them by mail on March first…but today is a Sunday…so I am assuming we will get them tomorrow (March 2)??? Let me know!

We heard today, by mail… thanks for applying, but not a contender.

My D received her snail mail “not a contender” letter March 3rd. The letter is dated February 25th, and postmarked February 27th. We are on the west coast, thus the slight delay. D is disappointed and was hoping to at least be invited to the Park Scholars weekend so she could meet the faculty and fellow students interested in the Park School.

I have a semifinalist interview for the Park Scholarship this weekend. Do any of your children remember what the semifinalist interview was like? What kinds of questions I should be prepared to answer other than the obvious ones related to my application essays? Thanks!

JLeeC37, how can you have a semifinalist interview Jan. 9th if the application deadline wasn’t until Jan. 15th?

Sorry, I didn’t realize that this was a scholarship for Ithaca. There is a Park Scholarship for NCSU, and that is the thread I thought I was posting in.
