***Park Scholarship 2023 Thread***

@lookingahead2023 in the semifinalist presentation I watched online (OOS)

Decisions are out! I’m a finalist ?

Congrats @Rbeall41! Sadly I didn’t make it to finalist, but I didn’t do well on my interview so I had false hope anyways. Congrats to all others who advanced as well!

I’m sorry @sadforparkrn :frowning:

It’s alright, I’ll most likely be heading to NC State anyway (just without any scholarship, which would have been a really nice feeling that increased my self esteem and took off some financial burden) barring a T20 acceptance, got rejected from UNC OOS as well :frowning:

been a pretty depressing week for me lol, since I got into State a while ago and haven’t had any good news from colleges since then.

Good luck to you tho @Rbeall41 lemme know how it goes I hope you get the scholarship :slight_smile: Cheering for you!

Would anyone who has been to finalist weekend be willing to give us an idea of what to expect/any tips? Feel free to message me as well.

@baseball3518 the agenda is online now. They will have you interact allot with other finalists as well as one on one interview. You’ll have the opportunity to stay on campus with one off the current students. My son had a great time. He was fortunate enough to win and has had a great experience in the program. Good Luck!

Any tips for the interviews? Also, any idea what the group discussion task is going to be about?

People who have gotten this scholarship in previous years:

  1. How were you notified? An email that says “Your selection decision is available”? A phone call? A mailed letter?
  2. When were you notified vs when did they actually tell you? They told us it’d be by March 7, but is it usually a little earlier than they say it’ll be?

Thanks!

@baseball3518 One of the Park Scholars at Finalist Weekend told me that she got a phone call within a week and then she got the official email stating the decision.
