yes! i’m so happy for you!!! maybe we can both meet up at amherst or usc (depending on covid)
if i move on, hopefully!! i think the email stated that this year it’s all over zoom due to covid though ;(
atm covid is getting better, and since we’re students we’ll get our shots by then so who knows fingers crossed
I haven’t heard anything back yet, is that a bad sign? 
It was around the first week of March, but it might be different this year since last year there were actually 3 rounds to the application. However, our second round was during January and early February, and we heard back in March about the final round.
Oop- looks like you all already heard back. Congrats to all that moved on!
Just joining this thread but I got into round 2. Would you guys be interested in making a group so we can talk amongst ourselves
Made a thread for round thrive scholars in round 2. Just search for Thrive Scholars Round 2 thread

Hey, I also just got an Email for an interview. Anyone know what the interviewers ask?
Not sure what they ask in the interview but since Thrive Scholars used to be SCS Noonan Scholars there are some videos on youtube of people making videos of why they want to be in the program. You should try to look for people who made it into SCS Noonan Scholars because there aren’t any modern videos of Thrive Scholars.
Hold on, attached to the email of acceptance theres a link to a pdf for what to expect in the interview. It says:
What to expect:
• The interviewer will have some questions prepared to guide the conversation, including
asking about you; your academic interests, goals, and experiences; and your interest in
Thrive Scholars.
• Please be yourself! The interview questions do not have just one “right answer,” but are
meant to help us get to know you a little better.
• While we look forward to learning more about you and your experiences, please know
that you do not need to share anything about yourself that you are not comfortable
sharing.
• You are allowed to ask questions, too! If your interviewer is not sure of the answer, they
may connect you with a member of the Thrive staff team.
