Son is in with Presidential Scholarship.
Congrats @collegesearchmom
I got in (RD) with an invite to the Buntrock scholarship! Does anyone have experience with the interview process/ advice?
Congratulations! I believe you should have received an invitation for a scholarship weekend which if I’m not mistaken is either this weekend or next.
Yup. I am a bit nervous about the process and was hoping I could get some advice on what to prepare/what to expect.
Well, apparently they’re sending these things out in waves, because my son’s golden envelope came today! Not as generous a merit award as some of you folks received, but if he can manage to get some music scholarship money on top of it, I think we could make it work.
Congratulations to your son @rayrick !!
Hello everyone! I’m an international student who also applied to St. Olaf. I haven’t gotten any letters yet, and nothing has changed in my portal… Does that mean I was not accepted?
My D got the gold envelope with scholarship here as well. Looking forward to visiting campus in about a week!
Does anyone know how many of the Buntrock finalists are chosen as scholars?
I believe thirty?
I feel like it’s more. There were about 120 finalists this year and last year there were about 30 Buntrock scholars who actually went to St. Olaf. I’ve heard that about 1/2 of the students who are offered the scholarship end up accepting it.
Hey everyone! I’m just wondering if there are any other international students waiting on an RD decision?
On the email it said that the print version would be sent before the 11th (which will obviously take time to arrive) so does anyone know when we will receive decisions via email?
Are you sure they will send the decision via email? My D is not international, but the only decision she received was on paper via snail mail. I guess you might want to try checking your portal for a clue. For some, a new section appeared on the portal entitled “Conversations and Learning Communities,” and that was a tell-tale sign that acceptance was imminent.
The Ole Admissions blog says that all decisions are in the mail as of today. It was updated a few hours ago
Wow that’s great, @collegesearchmom! I guess they got done sooner than originally projected, which is good news for @Rhiann.
I’m glad to hear this and thank you for the update! I checked the email I recieved from the international admissions officer a few weeks ago and It definitely says they send an email as soon as decisions are finalised @choirsandstages so I imagine this should come in a day or two!
@Rhiann. Yes, they will be notifying International students via email. which are supposed to be sent this week.
Fellow International student here.
Oh good @hakeemh97 - sorry I gave misinformation. It makes sense that they would email international students. I am constantly amazed at how many schools still operate in the dark ages in the name of “tradition.” 
absolutely understandable
