the thing is, i am south korean but i currently live in the US under a diplomatic visa (dependent of my dad, who works for krn gov't & is a krn citizen w/o US green card). but my family is not affluent enough to pay for college for two kids, which is why i applied for the scholarship.

should i still make an international call to the local AIG rep in korea, or just call wesleyan?

I believe that all the finalists for the interview would have been notified by now. Sorry JetX.

You may call the Wesleyan Admissions office here, but since Terri is away doing the interviews I do not know who you should talk to.

Hi all. Has anyone heard anything from Wesleyan? I think the decisons are out next week (judging from last year), and I get the advice that we look for a DHL/ FedEx guy.(oh plz call on my house )

Oh so anxious now...
Hope for the best to us.

I haven't heard anything... have you heard anything yourself by now?
Arr, I'm getting nervous.

sisi277

Maybe this year it takes longer cuz they need to calculate the aid...

Hello, everyone! I'm from Taiwan. It is so nice to see people who had also applied to Wesleyan Freeman Scholarship here! I knew this discussion board lately from my friend who is accepted by Stanford.
She says , usually, universities would notify applicants by both E-mail and regular mail on the date(4/1) which is printed on the application form(or some days earlier). So that means we should expect to receive the notification(by E-mail, perhaps) next week(3/26~4/1).
Bu then I have been busy checking E-mail since 3/15!
Will everyone that were interviewed receive an notifacation first by E-mail or just the scholars do? I don'k know how Wesleyan Freeman system works! Does anyone know the notification process from former scholars?

By the way, all of you may log on to https://cardinal.wesleyan.edu/NetPartnerStudent
that is the website Wesleyan Financial Aid Office sent to everybody(you'll need your WESID told on the "Freeman Application Arrival").
Check your documents' status!
Is anyone's Income Verification "reviewed" yet?
I log on everyday. Because, I guess, only sucessful applicants' verifications should be "reviewed", otherwise they don't have to work on it.
Does anyone get a "Reviewed" status there recently?(Mine had shown "not reviewed" since the day financial aid office sent me E-mail.)

Hello Hao-Hsuan Chang! Nice to see another Freeman Scholarship Applicant here.

I can't see "reviewed" nor "not reviewed" in my personal page in https://cardinal.wesleyan.edu/NetPartnerStudent . What I got was "received" status for both of my documents.

Anyway, I'm not sure that they will give us a 'hint' of the decision before the admission decisions are officially out. From what I've heard, they (some college admissions offices) do sometimes mail decisions earlier, for some US students that are highly likely to be accepted. However, for Freeman Scholarship Applicants, I'm not sure that is the case. I think we all will get the decision at the time they promised to announce it, not before.

As for the date, I'm not 100% sure, but I guess it's like what Hao-Hsuan Chang has said, around late March to early April.

For the announcement - from an alumni, I heard that those who aren't accepted will be sent e-mail, and those who are accepted will be sent a package containing the materials that should be read and known by the successful applicant. I don't know whether the accepted students are sent e-mail too, though, but I think they will send e-mails to them too, otherwise perhaps they will be very shocked and overcome with joy when they received the package. Ha ha.

Hi, Pociteh!

I guess, perhaps, "not reviewed" is equal to "received", which means they haven't worked on it. But what you said make sense that they aren't very likely to give us a "hint" before the decision comes out. Anyway, it is the only thing I can do after the interview, ha!

Another way remained is to see the status of former scholars' at MSN(but what I have in MSN are all graduated ones), one of the scholar(graduated) told me we are likely to here from our countries' former scholars on the phone, they would crowd a small room and all eager to talk to you. But this happeded four or five years ago~

I am so happy to be here. It has been anxious days for me and I am glad I meet someone who are as anxious and anticipating to be selected as me! Good luck to all of us! (Ms. Terri said good luck to me after the cocktail party and at the moment I had a very strong desire to tell her "I can't do anything else to be lucky! You can, Ms, Terri! Please!" Hah~hope she can hear my inner cry, after all, that was so sincere!)

Patience, guys, patience.

The decisions will be going out soon, the offer letters will arrive by DHL within the first week of April.

We're all excited.

pociteh

I will be patient, though of course I'm very excited.

Anyway, since you're here, I'd like to ask something to you, Eric.. did you receive your announcement via e-mail, phone or the offer letter sent to you?

Eric_Sia

I received my own package on the 28th of March through DHL.

chewkinyan

Yeah, me too.... not sure about the exact day though, although I assume it's the same as Eric...

A Hong Kong finalist has received an acceptance from the scholarship 12 hours ago.

domilylau

i guess kin yan was talking about me haha YES i am from hong kong and i just received the acceptance package this morning, through Fedex! the letter was dated on 23rd of march. right i really hadnt heard anything from Wesleyan until this morning the package just came and all of a sudden i was overridden by joy!

dont worry guys! u will get the news soon! : ) the package just needs time to travel and perhaps i got it a little bit earlier because hong kong was their second stop of their trip to asia?!

GOOD LUCK TO YOU ALL!!!

pociteh

Wow!
Congrats domilylau!!

.....
I hope we'll meet in Wes!
