@greyhound93 I guess I am a little confused. I spoke to the WashU admissions folks just this morning who confirmed that neither calls nor emails regarding any WashU scholarships have been released/made. They also shared that timing for these notifications has not yet been announced.
@PearMom perhaps not all scholarship finalists were notified and this is a CYA on behalf of Admissions? The dean assured my daughter the Portal would be updated today and she also received a followup email from another individual associated with the scholarship. Ive definitely heard, however, that not all finalists for scholarships are notified. Good luck!
@JemmaSimmons thx so much for the well wishes! WashU and MIT were both her top choices and she is thrilled.
My daughter also received a call last night, was told she was a Danforth finalist and was assured that the portal would be updated within 24 hours. I am assuming the information will be on her portal tonight. Not sure why admissions said that to you, @PearMom. Not sure what the relationships are between admissions and scholarship committees. Good luck!
My Pathway scholarship section disappeared. I think they are updating the pathway. We will be notified soon!!
It looks like they are updating the portal.
Mine says:
"Academic Scholarship and Fellowship Programs
The application deadline for Academic Scholarship & Fellowship Programs for the Class of 2022 was January 5, 2018. All applicants chosen as finalists by the selection committee(s) have been notified.
University Scholars Program in Medicine
The application deadline for the University Scholars Program in Medicine for the Class of 2022 was January 5, 2018. All applicants chosen as finalists by the selection committee have been notified."
Mine too, except I have not been notified yet.
@delldellcell Same. Unfortunately, I think it means we were not selected.
Well, it was better to take a shot than to not have. Nothing for my D either. For RD and ED Deferred candidates, perhaps all the information they now have about you from your essays will actually help you get admitted. Best of luck.
A bit disappointed, especially since I still had a lot of hope since it seemed like not many people got calls last night. I guess just not that many people selected happen to be on college confidential this year ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Is a phone call the only way the applicants are notified? I’m assuming they will follow up with an email, even to those who did not get an invite?
We weren’t chosen for a scholarship either. Minor disappointment, but only a tiny percentage of a subset of extremely qualified people are picked so hard to be too disappointed. Everyone on this board is a great student and will be an asset to whatever school they go to. So congrats to the finalists and congrats to everyone else too.
Yep, my son’s pathway account now says “All applicants chosen as finalists by the selection committee(s) have been notified.” under the “Academic Scholarship and Fellowship Programs”. I guess we will see whatever need based aid comes in, as no chance of going otherwise. Congrats and good luck to all finalists!
Just wanted to confirm that my D’s pathway was changed. She gets a link saying “An update was posted…view update”. Clicking said link takes her to another page with lots of information about Scholars Weekend. Good luck everybody with RD pending!
Did anyone receive an email? What scholarships have portals been updated for?
Received email indicating scholarship committees have reviewed all applications and selected finalists or recipients for all programs. Directed to WashU Pathway where it contained detailed information about particular scholarship program for which selected, and details about Scholars Weekend. Good luck to all!
As of now ive pretty much accepted i didnt get anything, but just wondering has anyone received a call or portal congratulations for the College of arts and sciences Honorary scholarship?? (like Moogs, Liens, Mylonas, Compon)?
And congrats to those who are finalists btw!
Congrats! Does anyone know how many finalists are selected and how many actually get the scholarship?
@listcollegehere i’ve only heard of compton; they got emails. so far i know nobody from the other 3
