@elena13 artist scholar process is a little different. I would have assumed the artist scholar finalists would have been notified before this week as they are coming on campus next week for live auditions and interviews! They are however, still notified by email of their status.
Well, D finally got her e-mail this afternoon that she is not a finalist. But on a positive note, she was accepted to UR, so that’s nice not to have to wait until the end of March. Good luck to all.
@elena13: My D received the same email today. As disappointed as I am that she isn’t a finalist, I"m very proud that she made it through to the semifinalist round. Congratulations and best of luck to all the posters who are progressing as finalists!
Same here. The email was very well stated. I was worried about my S’s reaction. Truth is, he has not checked his email since Sunday! (I check his email then have to mark it as unread :()
Does anyone know when the UR official acceptance packages are mailed? Waiting on financial aid info and feeling antsy. Thanks!
I think they mail them the 3rd or so wk in March. Watch twitter, they always say when they are mailed. Good luck! Finacial aid award should be in package.
Hi guys! I’m a current student at UR, class of 2020, and a Boatwright Scholar! I absolutely love it here, and I’m so so excited for you guys to come to UR (and hopefully be at Scholars Weekend in April!!!) I remember using a similar thread to this one last year for questions about the scholars process and life at UR and it was really helpful, so if anyone has any questions I’ll be happy to answer them as much as I can!
@boatwright2020 Thanks so much for your help! I am a finalist for Boatwright and Oldham and had my interviews this past Sunday. Any idea on when final decisions will come out?
Decision is out today.
Phone calls are going out from members of the selection committees today…good luck to all!
@tingdad @HCareExec Have you already received a decision? Will everyone get a call, or will just the scholarship recipients get a call?
It was by email, no phone.
@tingdad Sorry to keep asking so many questions, but which scholarship?
Science
I was notified today (via phone call) that I’m a Boatwright Scholar! I’m excited to meet the other scholars at the scholarship weekend
My S received a personal call today notifying him that he’s a Science Scholar…email to follow.
I missed a call from Richmond area code yesterday! I was out and didn’t see until after 5, so I didn’t call back. Should I call the number back tomorrow (Monday)?
My D received an email today with a request to call a representative from the school. she called and was told she has been selected as an artist scholar. Yay!
I’m pretty sure my interview went really bad and am almost positive that I didn’t get boatwright, so I’m wondering do they let finalistsknow by phone that we didn’t get the full thing or should I just call?
Hello! My daughter was selected for the program and we are so excited! How would you describe the culture at U of R? example-boys to girls ratio, level of competitiveness, does it feel like high school due to the size? Thanks so much!
