presidential scholarship notification

<p>But didn't get a finalist selection )-:
Says just 14 scholarships for 840 nominations.
Dau got in EA, but with such little finaid from Nova, it's off the list now.</p>

<p>I didn't get it either, wasn't expecting it though, especially after what the Financial Aid office told me.
14 seems awfully low though.</p>

<p>didn't get it either.</p>

<p>I'm pretty sure the website says there are 25 so the drop to 14 is odd. No for me too. lol</p>

<p>I guess they lowered the number of scholarships to cut costs. Unfortunately, I didn't get it either.</p>

<p>Didn't get it either. No way I'm going to VU now</p>

<p>i wonder what kind of people they did accept...</p>

<p>Andy, Florissant.....both of your SATs are top notch, but what other stats do you have? AP scores, class rank, extra-curriculars, comm service? Frustrating I'm sure with such great scores.</p>

<p>Only 14 recipients is pretty thin. At this rate, basically they could have put the top 200 names in a hat and and just randomly pulled out 14. At some point with sooooo many qualified, it unfortunately just comes down to dumb luck I'm afraid.
What more could they possibly analyze?</p>

<p>Just for comparison....what other schools have you both been accepted, and/or wait listed at?</p>

<p>Are you guys getting a "Decision Status Under Review" message as well -- or something else? :P sorry, where am I supposed to look? lol</p>

<p>its under the link presidential decision something or other. it's on the front page after signing into novasis.</p>

<p>I also got finalist, but still no letter in the mail. Has anyone received a letter?
Also, I was told by an admissions officer that 44 people were invited to interview for around 14 scholarships.</p>
