has anyone in san diego received a box? maybe they haven’t made it to san diego yet… (hopefully lol)
@ShrimpBurrito True dat.
Hard to say, “Hey kid, what admissions is saying is wrong cause we (random people on internet) know.” But we try!
Now let’s see if they actually update portal tonight like usual, gosh I hope so, but we do know it is Friday for sure.
My friend from NorCal got his box so RIP
Aw rip ^^ anyone else from Norcal?
@LvMyKids2 the $4000 scholarship does have a name—director’s scholarship.
We are in NorCal and my D received a box. She will interview for the presidential scholarship. We are shocked but excited. Her stats are good but not stellar. 33 ACT, 3.8uw, 3.97w. Lots of leadership positions at her school. She was admitted for philosophy, politics and law major.
Just did the math. Assuming that the scholarships are distributed evenly across states, only 1200/50=24 people receiving scholarships from each state. RIP
@DDHH2017 are you guys from the Bay Area?
@Marcie123 from the Bay Area?
Yes we are from the Bay Area.
people that got the scholarship box, do your portals look normal or r u being redirected to a pre applicant portal?
also did anybody in FLORIDA get the BOX?
Heard back from Northern Virginia?
ugh I just wanna get rejected already
@chrismc - that is a sobering figure eh?
And not to stir it up but…
I realize CC isn’t everybody, and some students are over on reddit or elsewhere, but I feel like these posts lack some geographical diversity…Texas, Midwest in general, more FLA? PNW? Anybody from these? And heck, did we have a San Diego poster? I was out part of day, maybe I missed some on my quick look through…
With an average of 24 per state (obviously that varies) we may not get posters from everywhere, but we seem to have some holes here, or maybe less posts, idk.
@pdxtigermom not sure what your comment is referring too? the $4000 = directors?
Yes I’m from the bay area
@CADREAMIN I KNOW RIGHT? I’m agonizing over whether or not anyone from San Diego received a box. I guess I’ll just have to wait until tomorrow to know for sure.
Anyone applying from CT. Haven’t seen any posts yet. I am eagerly waiting for USC!
@LvMyKids2 one of the parents wrote a post about it,
Most people get scholarship they interview for. Very few are bumped up but some do. Some get bumped down but the majority get what they interview for. The lowest you can get is the Director’s which is 4K. No interviewee has left with nothing.
