<p>We received a thick envelope in the mail yesterday (postmarked on 10/17) notifying us that our daughter has been selected as a PSP semifinalist. We're very happy that she's been recognized for all of her hard work. Now we'll be on edge for several months about her selection as a finalist.</p>
<p>Good luck to all the other applicants!</p>
<p>Congratulations to you and your daughter! Do you mind posting her stats. I also applied for PSP and waiting for GT decision.</p>
<p>thanks

<p>Math 750; Reading 740; Writing 720; GPA 4.0</p>
<p>She attends a high school where your junior and senior years are done as a full-time college student. Therefore, she only took a couple of AP exams (Statistics, Calculus) and scored a 4 on each.</p>
<p>She has had summer jobs, is president of a campus club, plays an instrument, community service, etc.</p>
<p>I believe that this scholarship is very competitive. My D was accepted SCEA to Harvard but was not offered this! I think you really need to let them know that you are really keen on attending GT and not using them as a safety. I wish your daughter good luck...</p>
<p>Congratulations! My son received the same in the mail today! Expecting it to get very tough for the next round!</p>
<p>i recieved the same also, i'm working on getting teacher rec's at the moment... best of luck to everyone else!</p>
<p>I just received notification also. Looking forward to the interview!</p>
<p>No mail for me yet. :(</p>
<p>same here ohcollege1102, there's still hope though! Did all of you guys who got semi get e-mails?</p>
<p>No mail yet here, although I only submitted the app on 9/30 (at night). I wonder if there is any correlation.</p>
<p>I submitted early morning on the 31st and I, too, haven't received anything.</p>
<p>Never got an email. Our only notification was an envelope in the U.S. mail.</p>
<p>US Mail received today, postmarked 10/24. Good luck to all!</p>
<p>Would the people who got it mind posting their stats? Thanks!</p>

<p>Anyone else still not gotten anything?</p>
<p>I'm in your boat ohcollege1102, I'm kind of surprised, I thought I would get semi</p>
<p>If I did not receive anything in the mail yet, should I be worried I did not get semi?</p>
<p>I cannot imagine why I wouldn't have gotten at least semi...</p>
<p>My GT Status says "Complete" in lieu of "In Process" and submitted it before the Oct 1 deadline, but have not received any notification of any sort...</p>
