<p>Now that we've been accepted, has anyone heard anything about the Pogue Scholarship?</p>
<p>I was wondering about that also, I wonder when they'll let us know about the interviews</p>
<p>Umm, I thought we wouldn't hear until Feb?</p>
<p>yeah.. decisions don't come out till mid January</p>
<p>I looked at the thread from last year, and it appears that most people didn't get any information until the last week of January.</p>
<p>hey do u think the pogue ppl will care if my community service isn't local, like here in SC. I fund-raise while I'm in the states and then go to India in the summer months. But i saw a requirement was that u help ur local community.</p>
<p>I dunno... The thing that worries me about my Pogue application is that I have virtually zero community service, but I'm extremely dedicated to choir, and I think that was acceptable for the application (which is what I focused on). Anyone else have any experience with taking the EC route instead of the community service route?</p>
<p>bummmmpp any opinions on how important it is to do comm service in local communities, not international, though i could argue that the place i do comm. service in is a second home, considering it is where my dad grew up.</p>
<p>About how many will the select for the first "round" and how large is the pool of applicants?</p>
<p>Anyone have a rough estimate/idea?</p>
<p>350 applicants, select 15 as "finalists" and 5 ppl receive the award afterwards.</p>
<p>That's close to the amount that get it out of state but by no means do only 5 people get the Pogue each year. They had something like 45-50 IS finalists last year and 15 or so OOS I believe. I think we ended up with at least 7 OOS winners of the scholarship and maybe 20 IS.</p>
<p>oh hmm...wow. I really am not expecting it though. Don't they look at the whole "profile", academics/SAT scores included?</p>
<p>yeah the whole 350 applicants, 15 finalists, 5 people is wrong, maybe only for out of state</p>
<p>yea sorry my post was regarding OOS, since i am from SC, my bad for the confusion...</p>
