Has anyone received notification that they have been invited to the top scholarship interview weekend yet?
Based on past years, it’s a little early for that. From the website FAQ:
Applicants are notified in late January if they are selected as Top Scholar Candidates. The top 50 in-state applicants and top 45 out-of-state applicants will be invited to a mandatory interview weekend in order to move forward in the selection process.
This year’s in-state interview weekend is February 24-26, 2018. The out-of-state interview weekend is March 3-5, 2018.
Looking over past threads, It looks as though notifications have gone out via overnight mail just before the end of January.
last year I recall at least one person who received the invite for the Top Scholars weekend before they received their HC acceptance.
In the past, they are Fedex so no wondering if there is still one floating around in mail - they are all out at same time. With one exception. Students are required to attend weekend to be considered so if a student can’t attend, another will be invited and obviously this would come after the response deadline for original bunch.
Fingers crossed!! Best of luck to these future Gamecocks!!
