Has anyone heard regarding invitations for auditions/visits for the Presidential Scholarships?..I believe these are done by department (Music vs Dance vs. Art vs Debate, etc). I’m specifically interested in any notifications for Music. Anyone know if they notify both those invited and those not invited?
Just recently joined CC. My S applying BA Theater received an invite on Feb 25th for interview/audition March 25. Keeping fingers crossed.
My daughter is going March 18-19 for music interview/audition. Good luck to your son!
Good luck to your D! This is so nerve wrecking but it’ll soon be over.
How did your D interview go @mammag ? Is it an audition too? My S believes it’s just an interview.
The music finalists are brought in over several days according to vocal/types of instruments. Daughter really enjoyed opportunity to play with the orchestra. The next day they had a lunch for parents and finalists and audition with a small interview component. I imagine each department does it differently. Music will not complete auditions until March 29, so music scholarship offers wont be coming out until after that. Good luck to your son!!
@mammag thanks for the update. I’m excited to go back and take one more look at WFU before S has to make final decision. Haven’t seen it since April 2017.
Do they notify by regular mail like admissions? My son had his music audition on March 18 so I guess we should expect
to hear next week at the earliest
The conductor said that he would be emailing the results to all finalists for music. They are giving out 6…he’ll list the 6 winners…then you can email him directly to find out likelihood that you might receive it once there are people that don’t accept it. He said that every year they make offers to students who choose to go elsewhere.
He said that he would email prior to April 1…but since his last audition in March 29, it will be after that.
@mammag thank you. My son applied early to Wake specifically because of the enthusiasm of the music department and was admitted in November. He will be participating in several ensembles regardless of scholarship, but it would certainly help. Good luck to your daughter and they will probably be playing together soon.
@storg95 Thanks! She just got her regular decision acceptance today! Nice to see it officially! Now just waiting on Presidential! 
. We just love Wake!
@Slorg95 and @mammag What instruments do your kids play. My S interviewed this morning for theater but he plan to play, if able. He plays the viola.
I’d rather not say as it might identify him in this “confidential” forum but he will be playing in both band and orchestra.
Please provide an update if your student has received notice about the Presidential scholarship. And also the format - email or snail mail. Hoping some time before April 1. Thanks!
Scholarship notice received in snail mail today. WFU requesting acceptance by April 16 but can be extended via mail request. Good luck!
S received an email this morning that he was not within the first six finalists for music but encouraging him to check back in a week to see if there is a chance he will get it if others decline. He was accepted ED so is definitely attending.
Did anyone else receive an email? If so can you tell us if it was an ED or an RD acceptance?
