Hi
Does anyone have an idea of the possible date when semi finalists will be notified.
Also what are the chances of a semi finalist moving to the next stage…some statistics.
My daughter is an international applicant,2200 SAT, 3.85 GPA,extremely good extracurriculars,leadership positions,good essays and excellent recommendations.
Semi-finalist notification has been ongoing since December, with batches emailed every couple weeks. All semi-finalists will be notified by the beginning of next week. Note that only those who are selected are notified, not all that apply by the deadline.
Last year there were 425 semifinalists (it can fluctuate between 400-450), of which approx 100-150 finalists were chosen (the number is not released). So about 1/4 of semifinalists become finalists.
@guineagirl96 when do semifinalist find out about becoming finalist?
@ninadasiy Mid February, last year they were released over a week give or take a couple days starting around 2/15 (dont remember the exact date range). I received mine 2/19.
Thanks.she has already been selected as a semi finalist,just wanted to know the timeline for the next step.
@guineagirl96 …one scholarship asked for a graded paper to be submitted .the limit was 8 pages.
Unfortunately IB does not have such long assignments,so my ward sent a 4 page essay.Hope the selection committee will understand this
