SLU Presidential Scholarship 2020

Has anyone else been notified yet?

I received the phone call today.

hm which weekend date are you attending (if I may ask bc I am traveling alone there from CA)

I received a phone call yesterday at 3:00 and got the email at 5:00.

Daughter was notified by email yesterday, 1/10 at 4:45 PM. Does anyone know if there is only one interview weekend this year, Feb 14-16?

@KMHT74 I was invited to the Feb 27-29 weekend, so I’m guessing there are two. I believe there were two last year as well.

Super helpful, thank you. Daughter is in a musical theater production Feb 14-16 so will email her admissions counselor to see about the possibility of switching.

@KMHT74 When the admissions person called me, they said to let them know if I was unavailable to make the weekend, so I’m sure they’ll be understanding.

Son was notified of invitation on Thursday evening by his admissions counselor! Excited for the opportunity to participate… Will be attending 2/14 Check-in B

My son got invited for Feb 27-29 SLU Presidential Scholarship interview! Does anyone have an idea of what to expect in the actual interview? Format, questions they ask?

Are parents allowed/required/recommended to attend the Friday’s reception?

My daughter is going the second weekend. Does anyone know the difference between the two weekends?

Any aviation majors?

Does anyhone know how many candidates are interviewed versus how many are selected, and when they announce the winners?

from what I’ve heard, 500 people are invited to interview and 25-35 people receive the scholarship. Decisions come out in mid-March if I remember correctly.

@mommatiger
1000 applicants, 500 interviewed, and they actually only choose 20-25 from what they told me at my weekend there

@anuragpathak
There’s 2 interviews, first interview was 3v1 and second was 2v1. Very standard interview questions with some random questions thrown in like what kitchen utensil are you and why, if you were stranded on an island, what would you bring, etc

@collegebud3001 Thanks! Very helpful. My S goes Feb 28th-29th.

@anuragpathak goodluck to her!
