<p>I know this is probably a stupid question, but: How are we supposed to be dressed going to the airport? I know for the interviews we have to be dressed formally but how about when we actually arrive? Can I just wear jeans and a t-shirt?</p>
<p>When is finalist weekend for Rodriguez? Is it the same as Ervin (Mar. 26-28)? </p>
<p>Also, what is formally? I mean, I wore a nice sweater and slack or a blazer and jeans for my alumni interviews for other colleges but is business attire like a suit?</p>
<p>Do we stay in dorms?</p>
<p>One other thing, have any of the Ervin finalists gotten any materials in the mail yet with more info?</p>
<p>@syndicate: I went to Discovery Weekend and I just wore jeans and a t-shirt. The only events that were scheduled for the first day were meet and greet stuff. I met my host (the person you’ll be living with for a few days) and we walked around campus for awhile until I had to go to a scheduled event that was basically just a giant get together of all of the prospective freshmen. I can only assume that Finalist weekend will follow the same procedure.</p>
<p>@Crozet: The finalist weekend for Rodriguez is the same as Ervin (I checked the website for you). I can only assume that business attire (especially for the final interview for a scholarship), would be a suit. And I got my letter in the mail today although I know of some people who got their’s yesterday. In the letter it said that we would be staying in dorms with a current Ervin Scholar.</p>
<p>Anyone hear about the art scholarships? The web site says notification is in early March but everything else I see says that all scholarship finalists have had their notification already.</p>
<p>greenwitch, did you check your account? if it doesn’t say you didn’t get it, then you still may be in the running. My D’s said she didn’t get it.</p>
<p>Erm…did the letter say anything about dress code and such? Where are you getting this stuff about dressing formally? :x</p>
<p>I would love to know what everyone plans to wear to the interview. For the alumni interview, my son would not wear a sports coat or sweater, just dress shirt and khakis - I guess business casual. It seems like these scholarship interviews are more formal. Are the guys wearing jackets/ties, sweaters…what? Thanks.</p>
<p>I still haven’t received anything for Ervin even though I talked to WashU a week ago and they said they would mail more info.</p>
<p>What did you all get and if possible, what did it say?</p>
<p>Actually, I just looked at the letter. It says nothing about what to wear for the interview.</p>
<p>I am a finalist for the University Scholars Program in Medicine - I am planning to wear a business suit for the interview, and semiformal on the other days … will this work?</p>
<p>also, does anyone know what day the interview will be for this program during the weekend?</p>
<p>and congrats to all the finalists!</p>
<p>hey! if you attend the scholarship finalist weekend at the end of march, is that a binding committment to attend the university? even if you win a scholarship for full-tuition, can you still go to a different college?</p>
<p>thanks! 
congrats to all the finalists!</p>
<p>@Rubix: I attended Discovery Weekend this past September and had an interview then. From what I’ve heard, most of the other kids had interviews with students but for some reason I had an interview with admissions officers and a teacher (I think it might have been because I visited before and had an interview then). Either way, it was much more formal than I was anticipating and I felt horribly underdressed in my jeans and blouse. It is only my assumption that this being interviews for the finals of a scholarship that you would want to give the best impression you could and I interpret this as wearing buiness attire.</p>
<p>@bookie: It actually does mention dressing in business attire on the actual schedule. It’s right next to the information on the interview.</p>
<p>@1234656jenna: I plan on dressing semiformal the rest of the time also so you won’t be alone! And the Ervin interviews are on Saturday and i would imagine it’s the same for the other programs since teachers/pogram directors have to teach/work during the week.</p>

<p>With your stats, it’s not hard to get into HYP. I don’t understand why Stanford deferred you. Guess you are not black or from a low income family.</p>
