Yale Bassett Award Decisions Come out soon

According to at least 1 email I got from them back in January, results should be coming out in mid-April. That could be any day now! Did anyone else apply? Would they tell you if you weren’t selected or do they only reach out to the winners? Hopefully, the winners could share their accomplishments so we know what we were up against, lol.

I’m pretty sure it’ll be sometime next week because previous threads/their website show that it usually comes out between April 20-24

@Konohakatu That sucks! I’m applying for this scholarship and the deadline is April 21. I want to submit, but I want to see if I get the award just in case I can add it to my app before submitting it. It’s probably okay since I probably wasn’t gonna get Bassett anyways lol.

@BundleaBees lol don’t sell yourself short you never really know. Maybe you can email them and ask when they’ll come out/explain your situation. Fingers crossed but I hope they don’t cancel the Yale trip if we’re lucky enough to win(it’ll probably be canceled though)

Honestly, do the 20’s of April even count as mid-April?

lol I agree but it is what it is. Hopefully the virus didn’t delay anything but I guess it’ll be out on either Tuesday or Wednesday or Thursday

@Konohakatu Do you happen to know the general time that they’d give us the decision (morning, afternoon, evening or something like that)? There’s no reason you’d know but since my scholarship thing is due tomorrow, I want to see how long I should wait before just submitting it. I figured there’s no harm in asking.

Lol I wish I knew but no. I looked at the times they send emails (the ones that seem like they go out to everyone like the reminder one and info about the award) and they came out at around 5:30a.m. and 5:30 p.m. Eastern time so I’m not really sure. But I feel like you could email them and ask if anything’s been delayed due to the virus because of your Scholarship deadline

@Konohakatu I love how much analysis we’re putting into this, lol. But thanks!! :slight_smile:

@BundleaBees lol ? ik it’s so funny I’ve been looking at the past articles and have been trying to look for some clues but I found nothing

@Konohakatu I was almost certain it’d be out by now. I just want to know!! I wonder if they even notify people who don’t get it (I know some awards like this don’t).

@BundleaBees nope I haven’t received anything either. I’m not sure if they notify people who don’t get it, but they post it on their website and they haven’t yet so it must’ve been delayed.

@Konohakatu That makes sense. I was starting to think it might have been delayed but I still hope we get them this week. I don’t know, I just always get so anxious about decisions because even if I don’t think I’ll get it, I just want to know so I can stop thinking about it, lol!

Also, I love how we’re the only ones on this thread. In it together!

@BundleaBees yeah that’s so relatable I’m like that too I need to know even if the dances are slim so that I can stop worrying. And yeah lol we’re the only ones on this thread but I discovered another thread that was made recently!

The wait continues…

@Konohakatu Oh wow!! I was convinced we were the only two people on this entire site that even applied, lol! Thanks for sharing the link.

@BundleaBees same I thought that too lol

My Daughter got an honorable mention award. She said she was one of 20 who got honorable mention. How significant will this be in her college application. Would it be something you want to mention in her app?
Anyone knows there are semifinalists between the finalists and honorable mention?

My Son learned this morning that he’s received this award.
