64

<p>...lol, they're not going to pick you based on a picture. .</p>

65

<p>whoa...9th page</p>

<p>huge bump.</p>

66

<p>when do we find out???</p>

67

<p>mid February....they weren't more specific than that...which sucks, but eh.</p>

68

<p>the thing that really sucks is we won't know unless we get called.</p>

<p>WHAT IF NONE OF US ON CC GET CALLED?! Then we'll never know the precise day!</p>

69

<p>lol...well in that case we will all just assume that we're not getting a scholarship from RB.</p>

70

<p>This is true. sigh... weird that we'll know in like 2 weeks.</p>

71

<p>URGENT NEWS!</p>

<p>I just got off the phone with the RBS people and here is what they said:</p>

<p>They are scheduled to make phone calls THIS FRIDAY the 6th. However, they may be making some phone calls next week as well. They do not make calls over the weekend and they only call if you have attained semifinalist status. They advised to be at the phone beginning friday.</p>

72

<p>WHOA!</p>

<p>that's freaking awesome! Ahhh...so anxious now!</p>

73

<p>omg, that's not awesome! I'm soo scared, panicking...I know I won't get it. I have a STRONG feeling that I'm not getting it..</p>

74

<p>um my heart just stopped. I really hope i get it. how much do they look at parents income bc my parents make too much for much fin aid, but i cant afford many top schools that i am talented enough to get into.</p>

<p>I know fin need is a part of this scholarship. is a combined income of 120-130k too much. On paper it sounds like alot but we really cant afford to spend 50+k a yr!!!</p>

<p>I am soo nervous.</p>

<p>What time friday?</p>

75

<p>^ Same with me collegebound_91 :(</p>

<p>It SUCKS to be in that awkward income bracket.</p>

76

<p>see, I'm kinda in that dilemna but my parents make 89k a year and there's 6 of us, it sucks i'm not pell grant eligible..grr. even tho the EFC is not that much the pell grant would definetly help! Good Luck to everyone! </p>

<p>p.s. I read the scholar profiles on the website last nite (BIG MISTAKE)...I soo am not gonna get it! My SAT scores are poop! & all the people who get it are like geniuses...grr! Anyway, I'll just hope for the best. : (</p>

77

<p>Yeah everyone who gets it is INCREDIBLE - there's no doubt about it.</p>

78

<p>I remember reading some of the stats for the scholars on their website. It totally brought my mood down, I have the fin need cuz my parents income is in the 40K, and the AGI is like half that. There were two kids who made it from my school, their stats were faintly familiar compared to my own. This friday blows thought i'll be visiting a school that day, all the time thinking if I'm missing the call at that very moment. : (</p>

79

<p>I'm not getting a call I know that..soo let me start working on other scholarships (lol)...because I'm definetly not getting it!! good luck everyone else..what a miserable weekend I'll be having. grr!</p>

<p>Is it just me or where quite a few of those RBS debators as well?</p>
