Starting this for rising seniors applying to the Morehead-Cain scholarship. Was anyone able to schedule a zoom meeting with either of the ambassadors, Eleanor or Ananya? When I click the links, they both say that the URL is not valid. Wondering if I am too late, or if they never worked?

Thanks for starting this. It looks like today (being Thursday) may be the day equivalent that kids were notified of semi-finalist status last year (tho last year, it was Thurs. Dec. 7), and the video interviews were due after this weekend. Maybe people could post here if they learn that semi-finalist notifications are out? And if kids learn by an email or something in the MC application portal perhaps? Thanks.

Apparently, OOS students have already been notified of semi-finalist status and in state students should find out today around 5 PM

Do you know how OOS found out? We are OOS and didn’t get an email or any change on the app portal?
Hi! Incase it is helpful, my OOS D25 was notified by email on 11/25 that she is an ARP (Admissions Referral Program) nominee. I believe her application and video interview are due Dec 9th.

That does help - thank you for sharing that - as they would be due within the same day or two (or have been in the last few years) so it is probably a question of finding the email.

Do you know if school-nominated OOS have been contacted about semi-finalist status, or only ARP-nominated OOS students?
My child attends and was nominated through an OOS nominating school, and she hasn’t heard anything yet. So either they’re waiting to send the “no thanks” notifcations after letting all of the SFs know that they’re advancing, or they haven’t yet contacted OOS kids nominated through their participating schools.
Thanks in advance!
was talking to someone on reddit and they said they are oos and said the same thing as you. but i’ve heard other ppl on the mc 2028 forum (oos) say they have already received decisions. some ppl have also gotten decisions since nov 1st. think they had more time since the hurricane.
I am wondering the same thing. It is helpful that we know that an Admissions Committee Recommended student has an interview due Monday. We are also an OOS school nominee and haven’t heard. When I look at last year’s thread, people posting here were posting their good news so it is possible that those that didn’t make it hear later. Just guessing - and waiting and waiting…
Yes - I saw that some people on Reddit are saying that they have already been rejected in Nov. The only person I think I have seen know good news is an admissions referral individual - and they do have different initial timing (bc they need to do the initial essays plus the video interview by Monday). Hoping we all hear good news. Georgia is also coming out today. My D25 did not apply to any rolling schools so it would be nice to get some good news today.
Hi! I was just wondering where you saw this information
Search in Reddit for Morehead Cain first round … that seems to be where some kids are posting.
My OOS kid (nominated by a participating high school) has an update that’s visible when she logs in to the portal. Didn’t advance, but knew it was a longshot … best of luck to the semi-finalists!
My OOS Admissions Referral Program daughter was notified she was a semifinalist on November 25 and submitted the video interview and everything to be considered for the next round. For her the due date was December 9, so it sounds like a different timeline.
