@verizonwireless 80 U.S. and Puerto Rican high school and 10 Canadian
@collegemom2boys , so theres 700 semis and 80 winners? so how many finalists? Last Question, is there an interview?
@verizonwireless I never saw the number of semis or finalists listed on the Nordstrom site. The site also does not specify an interview but in past posts for the Nordstrom scholarship students talk about having one so I am assuming it’s required.
@collegemom2boys , should I put semifinalist in my commonapp
@verizonwireless That’s a good question. This is our first go around so I’m not sure. Maybe some with more experience can offer advice.
@verizonwireless I put that I was a finalist on my Common App. There aren’t very many spaces for awards, so I would decide if it is really important to you.
@alleycat2 did you won? And when did you find out
I have one daughter who was a semifinalist in 2012. I have another daughter who is a semifinalist this year. My oldest daughter found out in late July that she did not advance, so expect some sort of email correspondence in late July/early August. Unless you have other impressive awards to list, I would definitely list this honor on your common application as the percentage of those who advance is low.
My recommender is having issues resetting her password
did you all receive notice that your reccommender followed through? or do you not get a notice?
D did not receive anything, but I know that recommender did his part. Did anyone receive confirmation?
We did not receive confirmation but I know my son’s recommender sent everything the first day.
Nordstrom says they email confirmations that they receive the letters of rec. anyone get a confirmation yet?
No
How does my recommender register to create an account to submit the materials through? The “register” tab only takes us back to the login page. Thanks guys!
I didn’t receive a confirmation
They sent emails out to those who have not submitted a recommendation. … so if you didn’t get one you should be fine
when are we notified if we have advanced to the finalist stage
see post #138 @verizonwireless
Who was supposed to submit the transcript? The recommender or the applicant?
