<p>Usually the Park announcement comes out after admission notifications. Has anyone been notified if they made this cut?</p>
<p>According to: <a href=“Selection Process - Park Scholarships”>http://park.ncsu.edu/apply/selection-process/</a> – Dec. 19th all applicants will be notified Best of luck to you…it’s an honor to make it to the semifinalist stage.</p>
<p>My son just got his acceptance email about an hour ago!!</p>
<p>Yes! DS just got his notification of semi-finalist status as well. Very excited.</p>
<p>Congrats! It is a terrific program and wonderful school! Good luck!</p>
<p>Congrats! They had a record-breaking 1,800 applicants this year for the Park.</p>
<p>Must be some super candidates! My S was not advanced in competition- #1 in class, never had a grade other than an A, 1500/2200 SAT (one sitting), Math II SAT 800, SAT chem 780, SAT US history 760, National Merit Scholarship semi-finalist, AP scholar with honor, Eagle Scout, Varsity team captain, 1st chair district band. Taking every AP course our school offers but we are OOS and its a small Christian private school. </p>
<p>@SwimMom15 Your son sounds like an amazing young man. Congratulations to him on his achievements. I am sure that means he will have terrific options available to him in his college search.</p>
<p>Wow! @swimmom, I’m surprised too. My son is OOS also, similar stats, 35 ACT, but same SAT. My son had 17 AP’s, and did have a LOT of EC and volunteer hours. But, your son’s an Eagle scout-lots of work there…</p>
