Hi All! I’m an international student. I’m having some confusion over the merit scholarship deadline. Could someone PLEASE tell me how many hours from now the essays are due?
@Livingteen1209, sorry, just saw ur post
scholarship apps were due around 3 and a half hours ago, hope u got ur app in!
@sscb205 Yes I did! Thanks
@Livingteen1209 nice! which ones did u apply to?
hope to see you at interview weekend!
@sscb205 I applied for Anika Rodriguez and the Engineering one … What about you?
Was the scholarship deadline actually 5 pm because I submitted my essay at 10 pm last night?
@TheSATsSuck I submitted my application at around the same time you did and I emailed the Admissions Office just in case, and they said it was okay! We’re all good
I applied for the Nemerov Writing Scholars Program, btw!
@Livingteen1209 i applied to mylonas, nemerov, ervin, and entrepreneurial
@sscb205 Did you know the word limit for the Entrepreneurial one? I couldn’t find it anywhere.
@SnapApp, I couldn’t find a it either, so I just assumed there was no limit
my essay was around 900 words tho
does anyone know when finalists will be announced?
Based on threads from previous years, it seems like those who received interviews were called around the third weekend of February, so probably around Feb 20-21 this year.
son applied to 2 scholarship programs. One was in the arts and science.
Daughter applied to the engineering scholarship. BTW so happy to find this link. Glad to know we all might hear more in Feb. Just want this to all be resolved!!
So the general consensus is that the finalists will probably be notified in two weeks, not next weekend?
