<p>Very eager to get some news here. Need to make flight plans. Timing of visit depends on whether D will be interviewing for scholarship or just doing the regular EA visit. Beginning to feel like a Cat mom already; was cheering for the basketball team on TV versus Syracuse over the weekend. Back to work for me now, but will be checking periodically. Good luck to all.</p>
<p>just the cat chat- added a few days ago and then the please do not disturb program yesterday.</p>
<p>Has anyone gotten a call/e-mail about the other scholarship interview. My son was contacted last week and I’m now wondering if he is NOT getting to the next round for the Presidental and that is why we heard from the other scholarship committee already. Any thoughts?</p>
<p>According to the letter, the “Alumni interview for the villanova scholarship” and the “presidential scholarship” are not related. Whether or not that’s actually true, I’m not sure…</p>
<p>S just received a call…he is a finalist!!! So excited. Good luck all:)</p>
<p>Congratulations! What state are you from and what are his stats if you don’t mind me asking?</p>
<p>We are from NJ. SAT 2140, SAT 2’s 740, 740. All 5’s on AP tests. 4.5 GPA. Lots of EC and CS, top 5% of class, works 15 hours a week as well. </p>
<p>We were told that there are 8 finalist for VBS and 4 will get it. I am guessing that there are probably more for the School of Arts and Sciences. His portal still has no info, so it seems like you receive the phone call first and I guess they will eventually change the portal. She did say that more info would be coming in the mail.</p>
<p>Good luck to all of you:)</p>
<p>So is this for the Presidential Scholarship, or a scholarship for the Business School?</p>
<p>did not get finalist with a 35 ACT and a 2210 SAT. 1/267, 4.74 GPA. I guess my essays were bad. Applied as VSB. </p>
<p>Please post stats if you are a finalist and you are willing to post them</p>
<p>nola, I don’t think all of the calls have been made yet. Someone was called last evening, we were called this evening. They did say that they looked at everything, essays, stats, EC and Teacher Recs. Good luck.</p>
<p>fsceagle, this was for the Presidental Scholarship. It is different from the one that was discussed in the letters that were received in the mail.</p>
<p>Nola- First, I’m sorry you weren’t selected as a candidate. Did they call to let you know? I haven’t heard anything yet.</p>
<p>Nothing here yet by phone, MyNova, or e-mail. D in at CLAS. Maybe the business school guys are more organized - lol.</p>
<p>Now I get it, each school picks some finalists…</p>
<p>My son wasn’t even nominated - as a NMF with 2350 SAT and 5’s on 8 APs - go figure</p>
<p>ahhh got a call today, but don’t know if it was the standard one or a pres. call as i was in another interview at the time! dad said they would call tmrw… hope its good news
if it was a pres. call (for VSB), my stats are 2170 sat, 35 act, 3.7 uw gpa, top 5%</p>
<p>for those of you who are finalists, did you just get the call? or did it say it on your mynova account as well.</p>
<p>also, my mom said there is a message on my voicemail from VSB (school of business) but i think that’s just about RSVPing for their open house thing? not sure.</p>
<p>We received a call and yesterday it was listed on my son’s Nova account today. I wouldn’t be so sure that the call you received was about an RSVP…I don’t think they call about that…good luck:)</p>
<p>On a different note, I’m a bit confused. It says on my S nova site that there are only 18 scholarships being awarded this year. I thought that I had read on one of the sites that there were 32. Does anyone know anything about that?</p>
<p>Rejected - It is now posted on My Nova - 880 nominations for 18 scholarships - oh well. CONGRATS TO YOU ALL WHO GOT A CALL!</p>
<p>I was also rejected for Engineering. Just looked on myNova a few minutes ago. Congrats to all those who were selected, you really were the cream of the crop!</p>
<p>looks like the call i got last night was for a cat chat. congrats to the finalists</p>
