<p>Has anyone who applied for the Parks Scholarship heard anything yet? The email they sent after the application was received said they would notify by Dec. 22nd. Just wondering if that is a set date for everyone, or if anyone hears before then.</p>
<p>I think I found the answer to my own question on the Park Scholarship calendar. It states that semifinalists are announced on the 22nd. [Park</a> Scholarships at NC State](<a href=“http://www.ncsu.edu/park_scholarships/calendar/index.php]Park”>http://www.ncsu.edu/park_scholarships/calendar/index.php)
Guess we just have to be patient.</p>
<p>Yes. We will find out on the 22nd.</p>
<p>The 22nd can’t come soon enough!!!</p>
<p>Yeah I know. I had several friends apply for the Morehead - when they announced semifinalists last week it was SCARY. The one girl whom everyone thought was going to get it missed the cut.</p>
<p>Hope the Park isn’t too insane.</p>
<p>they sent out emails this afternoon!</p>
<p>Yes, we got bad news here. No interview. Did anyone get good news?</p>
<p>I received good news!! I’m now a semifinalist!</p>
<p>Good news here also. Anyone know how many semifinalists were chosen?</p>
<p>Congratulations, sports<em>guy</em>5 and Secret Asian Man. Good luck with your interviews.</p>
<p>Answered my own question. 232 semifinalists.</p>

<p>I received good news as well. Approximately 50 scholarships will be awarded in the end, so we’re down to a 22% chance.</p>
<p>Thanks for posting that link Secret Asian Man.
I know quite a few of the names on the list…and props to NCSSM for getting 8 semifinalist spots!!</p>
<p>Yeah I only know two people on that list - one other person at my school and somebody from summer camp.</p>
<p>And you know how those smathers are :)</p>
<p>Yeah I’m the same way. I know another girl from my school and then a couple people from NC Summer Ventures. Is it sad that I’m kind of excited for panel interview day?.. just because it means that I might see some of the kids I haven’t seen in a while, of course. The rest is entirely nerve-wracking.</p>
<p>Which SVSM did you do? I did ASU. This is pretty cool.</p>
<p>I was at Western Carolina for Archaeology during the summer after sophomore year. Did you go after sophomore or junior year?</p>
<p>Junior year, so this past summer. Archaeology is pretty neat, I did visualization/image processing - essentially computer science :)</p>
<p>Neat! Two of my friends were at ASU after sophomore year for visualization/computer imaging. They didn’t originally sign up for it, but they both really liked it.</p>
<p>Yeah it was pretty sweet. Met some awesome folks too.</p>
