I don’t think so. I requested one but the interviewer moved to a different state. Then I requested another one from someone else and he never got back to me. I really don’t think they place a huge amount of weight on the interview. @SwimmerW
Does anybody know what a Peabody Dean’s Achievement Scholarship is?
The check next to applicant checklist? I’ve had that since January. I don’t think it means anything.

I think CV refers to the Cornelius Vanderbilt Scholarship…
I got that checkmark as well! Maybe I’m just overthinking, but I think it would be good news…
Did anybody participate in the interview? If so, how did that go for you all?
@crieseasily I had an interview and it was super informal. It more so seemed like something for the school to judge interest if anything
You can get accepted to a college via scholarship?

Does anyone NOT have a checkmark next to applicant checklist?
@crazym0m I see thank you! I was admitted through scholarship as well, but I usually hear colleges giving out scholarships after they release decisions. I was a bit skeptical when I was notified at first (it was also earlier than expected), but now I know.
it doesnt mean anything @caligurl2017 Ive had that since the moment I completed my application
Any speculation about when they will release decisions? Last year I believe they released them on Wednesday Mar. 23, so I’m guessing Wednesday, Mar. 22 this year?
