UTD Terry Scholars 2018

Has anyone else applied or heard back regarding the Terry Scholarship? They said I will be notified in early March and I haven’t heard a response since which concerns me.

@masterblackninja - D received her invite to interview at the end of February. Her interview is in April.

@momoftres Hi. How did they contact her? I have been checking my Galaxy portal and personal emails consistently and I have not been notified of my status. Even if I didn’t receive an invitation for an interview, they would have contacted me.

OH NO @masterblackninja !!! I misread the topic. Daughter received invite from UTA not UTD. She received an email. Sorry about the confusion!!

@momoftres It’s okay! Thank you for your help. Turns out I didn’t get an invite which isn’t suprising. My SAT was a bit low to be competitive for the Terry scholarship and I didn’t have any leadership positions. Hopefully I will receive more financial aid and scholarships.

I believe all utd terry scholars semi-finalist received an interview notification and was told to schedule like in the 1st week of march. My interview is on April 3rd. I recommend you calling them because if you’re rejected, you should have also been notified. @masterblackninja

@Pro1234 Yes, I actually was notified but my dilemma was that I didn’t know where to go to check my status. Fortunately, I emailed the Terry Scholars with the email they provided, explaining my situation and they forwarded the notification I previously couldn’t access to my personal email account.

Alright. That’s good! :slight_smile: @masterblackninja

@Pro1234 Haha yes it is!

Did anyone already interview for the UTD Terry program? If so, Please share your experience and how it was? Any advice or suggestions is greatly appreciated!

I did. I’m pretty sure I won’t get the scholarship as the interview was cut short to the point where I didn’t even get to talk about my financial situation. It’s fine though ig… I was most likely chosen for an interview just because of my community service and not my academic achievements, so I had nothing else to talk about. The whole thing was somewhat intimidating don’t you think? How did yours go?

@averagekiddo I thought it went well but can’t be 100% sure. I felt they were pretty nice and welcoming. I really need this because it’s my last hope in getting a full ride. I’m nervous because they said they will notify me by tomorrow. Keep me updated and good luck!

I was right; I didn’t get the scholarship. I hope you get your full ride!

@Pro1234 Best wishes to you! You deserve this scholarship.

@masterblackninja @averagekiddo Awe thanks y’all! I received the scholarship. This year was so stressful and now I can finally breathe in peace! Thank you all for the good wishes, and good luck to y’all for your future! All my good wishes are with y’all. :slight_smile:

@Pro1234 Wow, congratulations! That’s a huge accomplishment you should be proud!

Thank you! Really blessed. :slight_smile: @masterblackninja
