Is anyone here going to the Virtual Conference? If so, did any of y’all get a “Special Invite to Yale National Conference” today?
I just wanted to see if the invite was based off location or selection.
@AlmightySadist I am attending the Virtual Conference, and I did not get a special invitation. However, someone on the Facebook group got one and I think it’s based on location and selection.
Edit: I live 15 hours away so I think the location is a big factor cuz there is no way id be able to attend even if I was invited.
@kassh4 I figured. My IG group chat, one other person got it and everyone else apparently didn’t. But everyone else was midwest/really far out. They might release more invites for other locations…? Idk, but maybe they needed to fill more space at Yale? Cuz the way I look at it, a lot of prep scholars seem to be from Cali or big cities in Florida.
Has anyone received any news about the Quest for Excellence Awards?
@Elexis Ive heard we get those back at the end of june
@kassh4 Okay, thanks!
what are the chances of getting a quest for excellence award
@ikan4 I think they give out one for each state… or one of each, either way, probably just as hard if not harder than getting a summer program scholarship.
Questbridge just sent me an email titled “Quest For Excellence Award Notification” that told me I won and gave me details about the “New Americans” award, so I would assume the other award notifications would come out soon. Does anyone know if you can receive more than one?
@JoeBelushi777 Omg!! Congrats!! Those are so difficult to get!!!
That means that maybe the other awards are coming out too!! Congrats again!!! =D>
@AlmightySadist Thank You! Good luck to everyone else.
@JoeBelushi777 Congrats Joe! I also received the New Americans Award. Do you know what award you’re going to choose?
@Naperthrill Even though I think the campus visit would be an amazing experience, I’m already fairly certain of which schools I want to apply to so I don’t think a visit will be very beneficial. $700 from Dell though will be really great, especially entering senior year and freshman year of college.
@JoeBelushi777 That’s the one I chose! You can definitely get a nice Dell laptop for $700.
Does anyone know if the STEM award or any other Quest for Excellence awards were dealt out yet?
@JoeBelushi777 I think STEM and Art are the only ones left.
any updates on the STEM award?
Haven’t heard of anyone getting it yet. They said late June was when they would release so there’s still little over a week left.
Has anyone received the reward for their state yet?
I am also waiting for the QFE STEM Announcement. Please if you have received it or someone you know then let us know. They will only email the recipients and they only gave 20 total STEM awards last year, I heard.
