<p>Yes, Clark Scholars calls and emails the applicants. Actually, I didn’t receive a call last year, but a few people (nirvanatear, for example) did. I just got an email.</p>
<p>Anyway, I don’t know if they’re doing admissions all at once this year. The entire process has seemed pretty fragmented…keep on the lookout, guys! And check your spam!</p>
<p>I got the call last year and the email in very close succession. I had missed answering the phone but when I checked my email the night of the 18th - there it was!</p>
<p>If you get in, don’t miss the opportunity. I think it was very influential with my college admissions. Actually, what matters is how much you take advantage of the program and what you actually DO that counts.</p>
<p>Just for an update, I was in the program last year and got into Rice-Baylor MSP with substantial merit aid and research offer from Rice.</p>
<p>Correction - I meant that I got the phone call/email about SEMIFINALIST notification. After that I just expressed interest in the program but in my particular case it took an unusually long time for them to inform me that i got in. In fact, I had to actually contact them and ask what was up. If you look at last year’s thread you can see my confusion, lol.</p>
<p>ahhh i hate this waiting… first I got my hopes up earlier today when I missed a call from texas and then an unknown number called around 7:30… all false alarms lol</p>
