Congrats to all . How do they decide on the finalists?
I do not know personally, but from https://www.ivyscholars.com/what-is-the-bradley-scholarship/
Once applications are submitted, they are reviewed by a selection committee, made up of former college admissions officers. They select finalists, who are then interviewed by the committee. They are looking for the following from applicants:
-
First and foremost that you have demonstrated exceptional academic ability and achievement.
-
That you have scored in the top tier of school administered standardized tests in the past two years.
-
That you display positive traits; leadership, intellectual vitality, creative thinking, passion for knowledge, motivation, integrity, and maturity.
-
That you are actively seeking an accelerated and academically challenging high school program.

Any news on the finalist status?
My kid was a semifinalist but was notified on Monday (6/22) that she wasn’t selected as a finalist. I imagine they’ve been getting interviews set up with all the finalists this week. Last year, they publicly announced the finalists on social media July 1, so I would guess that might be the same this year…or close to it.
