<p>Thanks Jrmama…I was thinking of doing the same thing…great minds think alike…:)</p>
<p>I received an email today about the February scholarship weekend. I will probably be declining because I was somehow accepted to Princeton SCEA. The email says 24 are invited and approximately 10 full-tuition + stipend scholarships will be given. There’s no mention of a later date, and they did offer to play for the flight.</p>
<p>emeraldEvi, is this for the Reynolds/Carswell, etc. or for the Presidential scholarship?</p>
<p>Yeah did it mention explicitly which scholarship you’d been nominated for?</p>
<p>Couldn’t handle it so l called the merit aid office. Okay so the February interview which l imagine you got the email Doris for Reynolds/Carswell scholars. The March interview is for Gordon Finalists and I’m not really sure when the Presidential is!! Hope that helps you guys</p>
<p>So the Reynolds/Carswell emails are all out? No email yesterday means you did not get picked?</p>
<p>I would imagine they send them all out at the same time…
I am not sure what stats you have to get a chance at this, but I find this pretty discouraging…:(</p>
<p>I’m not really sure how they weigh in your stats for Reynolds/Caswell, but l know the interview is a big part of the process. You could still be chosen in April to be a wake scholar, though that one doesn’t give you as much money…</p>
<p>Soread, what is wake scholar? I don’t see that listed on their website? </p>
<p>Those are the scholarships listed under other programs. They vary from like 2,000 to I think 15,000, which is obviously not a lot, but you don’t interview for them.
Wake also gives out almost full tuition to their Mangolia Scholars, but those are only restricted to first generation students.</p>
<p>Well, at least my son may still have a chance for the Gordon scholarship next month. We are Hispanic so I assume he could be eligible for that one. </p>
<p>Yeah good luck… Did he interview? My daughter really wants to be a Gordon Finalist. She loved Wake over Vandy but the cost is just ridiculous </p>
<p>As you mentioned, the interviews for Gordon are in March so I assume they will send invitations in late February.</p>
<p>No l meant interview for admission?</p>
<p>Oh yes, that was his first one. He did a skype interview and said he thinks it went well. How did it go for your daughter?</p>
<p>Any gordon or presidential scholarship invites from wake yet?</p>
<p>Nothing yet. I don’t think they will send them until the end of the month.</p>
<p>A friend who applied for the Presidential in theatre just got an email that she is a finalist.</p>
<p>Soread, aren’t the costs for Vandy and Wake about the same?</p>
<p>Yes the costs are about the same but Vandy is a lot more generous with scholarships for national merit and so forth, than Wake is… Really hoping she gets to be a Gordon…</p>
