I'm biting my nails, refreshing my inbox and following this thread like crazy. I can't take it. The waiting game is too stressful. If I don't get it I won't be able to go to school this fall so I'm praying I get it. Good luck everyone! We all deserve this, I can just tell from the passion I sense when you all post on here.
Which schools are you planning on attending, Romero1027 and tellio015? Have you considered working as a CNA to help pay for school?
I'm also in a financial situation where I'll either have to work through school or defer my enrollment if I don't receive this scholarship. tellio015, if you are already accepted, you shouldn't have to reapply; you should be able to defer your enrollment.
Argh. I have been scouring past years' forums trying to figure out the likelihood of acceptance after getting a credit check. I really hope this week (hopefully tomorrow) brings news at least to someone, to show that they are starting to let finalists know.
Hakhama, when I spoke to a representative last week, she told me that they have been sending notifications everyday.
All finalists undergo a credit check, whether or not they notice it. A credit check means that you are a finalist, but it does not mean that you'll receive in award.
I don't think the representatives on the call line really know what the scorers are doing. If they had started sending out finalist emails, someone would have posted here. Happens every year.
Worst night sleep of my life. Can't decide if it's more bc I'm anxious to hear from this scholarship or bc I have scheduled c section tomorrow. Definitly a combo of the two :barf02
