My son received an email on December 21 with an invite to write two essays for presidential, Lyle scholar, etc that was due on Monday (January 4). He submitted them. He was accepted EA with Provost

Same. Daughter was EA and received the Provost as well. I have looked up the timeline on these scholarships but thought maybe someone would have some personal insight. The waiting is torture…and I’m not even the one going to school

Hunt Leadership is due next Friday too. My son’s least favorite thing is writing essays but he’s limping along to get it done (haha)

Same for DD - any idea of how many Hunt applications they tend to receive vs how many they accept?
I read somewhere that they receive about 700 Hunt applications which seemed like A LOT to me. 60 are invited to “interview” over the Hunt Scholars weekend (in March). They usually pick around 20 for the award.

We toured Wednesday (1/27) and our admissions counselor said maybe by the end of the Feb. but did not give anything definitive.
According to the website, they say that ED2 are notified within 4-6 weeks of the 1/15 deadline.
Over the last three years, EA deferred candidates find out around March 8-11.
Just wanted to reach back out to you- my son just received an email saying to check the portal at 7:00pm CST for EDII decisions. Good Luck and Pony Up!
