@annootty I am not sure about that, I would assume that no email is sent out if you are not a finalist, but don’t take my word for that. Still awaiting mine as well…
@billcsho You are right, but I think he’s talking about the Stamps Scholarship right now
I would be surprised if you are a candidate for Stamps and not receiving any merit scholarships at the end.
Yeah awhile back I got decent scholarship but this would be even more life changing. @billcsho
Still waiting on anything… Not sure when they plan on releasing it today but doesn’t look good for us
ugh I just wish they would give an email saying that you didn’t make it to the finalist round. the waiting around part is the worst…
You’re right, although a post from a previous year mentioned a UPS letter being sent today and an email followup being sent on the first of March
@sacreul Could you link this post?
Also, how many finalist do you thinker there are?
the email said there are 18 finalist. I believe each finalist would get the scholarship.
Finalist are the winners.
I just got an email saying that they need a few more days to decide.
I just got an email saying that they need a few more days to decide.
Me too @annootty. I assume we all got it. This sucks ugh.
Received an email stating that the process is taking a bit longer than expected and we will know in the next few days… Breathe easy boys
In addition to this, I asked if we would be notified regardless of acceptance. Everyone who was selected as a semi-finalist and completed the interview will be notified when decisions are released. Good luck to all and take these next few days easy.
@sacreul Thanks for asking that. This is gonna make things really easy.
PS: How many people do you think got this semifinalist status thing?
@Collegethrows124 I don’t have a fraction of a guess, I can’t find anything online about the applicant pool. However, I do believe that we all have roughly the same chance based on the top tier of applicants they select, it just seems to come down to your application and interview, probably in a more holistic way than just our test scores.
@Collegethrows124 Just received a UPS package in the mail notifying me that I am a Stamps Scholar, aligns with past years where a letter was received prior to an email. I’m so excited and thankful for this, I can’t overstate it.
Congrats!
