<p>hi guys, I'm a semifinalist from AL. Good luck to everyone! That application was quite extensive and daunting! </p>
<p>Maybe this is just my situation, but how do you think Toyota will view the paid employee experience section? Everything I do is completely volunteer work, although I participate in a volunteer work-study program. So in essence, I've held jobs, but I just do it for service.</p>
<p>I hope they could think of that as a possibility. Maybe I'm being a bit too hopeful ;) Anyone else in the same boat?</p>
<p>Well, there goes my chances. My volunteer coordinator (who I really do love) says she was confused and thought I would pick the application up from her, even though I told her that I needed it sent through the mail last week. I even gave her the app three weeks ahead of time, and today she tells me that she will send it as soon as she gets home.
Oh well, I guess better luck next time. Good luck to everyone who got theirs in on time!</p>
<p>OMG same thing happened to me! I was really disappointed, then I realized ten years from now, this won't matter. I sent in my comm. rec on the 11th anyways.</p>
<p>Oh crap... Despite the fact that I sent everything off myself and on time, I just got a letter informing me that they didn't get any of my materials. Does anyone know of a phone number that I could use to call them and see if there has been a mistake?</p>
<p>Did you get a letter from ETS? Look in the upper right-hand corner of the letter. There should be a number. Call that number and they can tell you exactly what is missing. My son received a letter saying that they had not received the LORs. He called them and they told him exactly what LOR (out of the two required) that they had on file. If your school has duplicates of the missing materials, see if they can fax them. In my son's case, he cannot fax the missing LOR until 3/31. Supposedly, this Friday - 3/28 - is the deadline. But call them ASAP and see what they say.</p>
<p>I, along with a friend, got the notice that we were missing things in our file. But we called, and ETS said they mailed them out by mistake. So those of you who think you may be missing something, it could just be an error so call and double check.</p>
<p>I've been out of town the past week and so I only recieved the letter today, dated March 14th. Apparently, they're missing my transcript and HS rec. Well, my transcript was sent in the same envelope as the rest of my app, so if they have my app, they MUST have my transcript. I'm not sure what's going on with the rec but in any case, we're on spring break right now so nothing I can do about that.
The deadline was yesterday? Oh dear. This doesn't look good. And I don't think I can call in until Monday.</p>
<p>Hey, so I sent my app out on March 11 (the deadline was March 10). Since they're contacting you guys because you're missing stuff, does that mean they might have still considered my late app since it was only one day late???</p>
<p>I would be SO happy if they still considered it!</p>
<p>So for everyone who's a finalist, congrats !
i just made a group on facebook entitled "2008 Toyota Scholarship Finalists". I think it might be a good way for us to get to know a bit about each other before San Antonio .</p>
