Annika Rodriguez Finalists?

swimblas94 · 02-18-2012, 12:33 AM

While I saw some similar threads, I am still not clear on how the finalist process works. I was called this week and told I was a finalist, but that I will be interviewed over the weekend I stay and then they will let me know if I receive the scholarship.

Bottom Line Question: How many "finalists" are there, who actually becomes a Rodriguez Scholar out of all of those, and who receives a scholarship?

Thanks Everyone!

I am a Rodriguez finalist, too! I have many of the same questions. I am hoping the information we receive in the mail in the next few days will have some answers.

I'm actually an Ervin finalist, but I have the same questions and suspect that the answers would be similar. Any help would be appreciated!

For some scholarships, the interview process determines who gets a full scholarship and who gets a half. I'm not 100% sure if it works like this for all of them. I'd suggest your chances are good though.

I'm a Rodriguez finalist and am hoping that all finalists recieve some form of scholarship! Wash U is great, but I can't afford to come and pay the full sticker price.

Would love to know the answers to your questions too. Have any of you RSVP'ed for the Finalist Weekend? Are your parents coming too?

I rsvped, but I'm going to St. Louis alone. Hbu?

I'll probably go alone too.

I am a Lien finalist. Can I schedule a different time to have the interview? I have the ALL STATE CHOIR during the same weekend.

@sierrasunrise, I don't think so, but you'll have to call and ask.

Thanks for the responses everyone.

I RSVP'd today on the WUSTL website. I put 4 people down as coming since my family will probably go up with me initially, but I hope that does not confuse them.

It will be fun meeting some of you and I am in the same boat as mysticalheavens about paying the full sticker price.

I RSVP'd yesterday and my mom is coming with me. Very excited to be going back to WashU. Any ED students on this thread? Come over to the Class of 2016 thread, we're trying to connect and check out the Facebook page!

EDer here. Probably going to finalist weekend alone, but I am still excited!

six360 · 02-21-2012, 10:21 PM

Aww! Well at least you'll have lots of freedom. Did you go to Discovery Weekend?

@six360
