My son is still waiting for the interviewer to email him. The letter said to give them until 1/31 and then contact the sender. So he be patient. He wait.
I’m still waiting to get contacted. Hoping it was just a delay to due the snow and I’ll hear from my interviewer soon.
@ vilanova presidential scholarship committee, whats good?
My DD has her interview tonight. Maybe I’ll have her ask about the Presidential Scholarship. Her interviewer is a board member I think. I know she just received an award or something from them.
@Hope2achieve do you mind sharing what kind of place they’re having the interview at? I just want a better idea of what to expect
@julia1611. This is a phone interview. Nothing on the Presidential Scholarship yet. I’m not holding my breath as that scholarship is so very competitive. But you never know.
has anyone considered calling admissions? I’m sure they could at least tell us how the presidential is being sent out, if not when
@c0llegeb0und There’s no need to call. They’re pretty clear on their website:
Review of Applications
The Presidential Scholarship Committee reviews all University Admissions Application materials as well as the Presidential Scholarship Short Essays (Short Essay Question can be found below) . The Presidential Scholarship Committee will review applications and announce Presidential Scholarship Finalists during the week of January 26. Applicants can view their status (Finalist, Non-finalist) on myNOVA during the week of January 26.

oh okay thanks! now it seems theres nothing left but to wait… 
My DD had her interview with a board member tonight. She said as told she did a great job and her family should be proud. I made her nervous so I left the room. It lasted at least a half hour. My daughter loved talking to this lady and is really excited about the school. I hope we hear good news on the Presidental Scholarship.
its up guys!!!
went up last night at 10:30
Well we received the email and my daughter wasn’t a finalist. :(. They told her they have more need based aid this year though. Not sure why they would tell her that. Anyone make the cut?
Where did it say they have more need based aid?
In her email. I didn’t ask for much information as she was disappointed. I will ask more tonight.
Have my interview this evening for the Villanova Scholarship ;
I applied by December 1 for it but my application was regular decision not early action.
Has anyone else had their interview for it and how did it go?
@Fuzerabit I had mine over the phone earlier this month! My guy talked a lot, kinda felt like I couldn’t get a word in sometimes lol but he was nice. He asked me to talk about myself and then kinda related it to the school. It lasted about half an hour I think.
@julia1611
Thanks! I wasn’t sure whether it would be relaxed or if they asked about community service and volunteering and why Villanova.
@Fuzerabit My son had the interview earlier this month at a local Panera’s. It lasted about 30 minutes, was relaxed, and the questions focused mainly on volunteer activities.
@mtown27 thank you!
Mine is at a local Starbucks and I just really want to be prepared. Will make sure to do prep beforehand:)
