Hi, I have a question regarding the apparent extension to the deadline for the honors college application, namely, is there really an extension? Lol, it seems like VT admission has confirmed that the new deadline is Dec. 8th on their twitter here: https://twitter.com/FollowMeToVT/status/537620656079523840 and on their website here: http://www.univhonors.vt.edu/html/admissions.html.

Buuuuuuut when I go onto the actual application it still says “For scholarship consideration, the full application must be COMPLETED AND SUBMITTED by 11:59 PM on December 1st.” So which source is correct?

Also, if the deadline is extended to December 8th, does this also mean that the deadline for the recruitment scholarships within the Honors application are extended along with it? I’m talking about the Stamps Leadership Scholarships, Calhoun Scholarships, McNamara Scholarships, etc. The ones who’s essays are included as a supplement in the HC application. (I’m assuming those are the scholarships they are referring to when they say “priority recruitment scholarship consideration for incoming freshmen” But, I just want to be sure.)

I had to wait so long to get my Application ID that I could really use a few extra days to polish my essays, but I don’t want to submit after Dec. 1st and miss the scholarship window altogether (especially since I’m OOS, I really need the scholarship money for my parents to be able to afford the OOS tuition costs).

Any help is appreciated. I know I asked a lot of questions but any kind of clarification is really appreciated! Thanks!
