Well Scholars for OOS whose high schools don't nominate

Can anyone help me with the process of nomination for an OOS student whose HS doesn’t nominate?

I see what is listed on the Wells Scholar’s website but I was wondering about what happens if the admissions center contacts you in early October and request more info? Do you then fill out the same application that the in-state nominated kids do?

Does anyone know is this application is the same year to year or if the essay prompts change?
