coffeeandtravel Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Who else applied for Korbel this year? They said we'd hear back early March and I'm hoping it's sooner rather than later! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParisDreams Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 I am! Except... not really all that interested in going to Korbel haha. But I'll go if that's the only place I get in. I know they were interviewing people for the Sie fellowship last week. I didn't get an invite to interview, so super sad about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I didn't get interviewed either, which is kind of a bummer as this is the school I had the best shot of getting a decent amount of money from...

ParisDreams Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 I had the exact same feeling too. I guess we will find out soon enough. Keeping my fingers crossed. Good luck to you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParisDreams Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 You guys think today is the day? People heard late Feb last year so strange decision haven't come out yet. Maybe they are trying to "keep up" with the DC schools in posting their decisions later and later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was excited that they found out earlier than DC schools last year, hoping that meant the same for this year, too. It would be nice to have one decision out of the way!

ParisDreams Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 (edited) Seriously! They had a whole extra 24 hours this year too. Tsk tsk Edited March 4, 2016 by ParisDreams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coffeeandtravel Posted March 4, 2016 Author Share Posted March 4, 2016 I'm wondering how they send out decisions...last year it seemed like people logged onto the application site and had "buttons" about their decisions before the emails went out. I read on the admissions blog that they're sending out emails with decisions, but wondering if they will also put them on the application page...

ParisDreams Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 I just checked my application page. No change at all. I read that too, for last year but I don't see any buttons anywhere. I feel like I submitted my application years ago. Did you apply for any of the fellowships (the video one and Crossley)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coffeeandtravel Posted March 4, 2016 Author Share Posted March 4, 2016 I didn't apply to either of them...I actually didn't know about the Crossley, and completely forgot about the video one TBH. Now I'm kicking myself wishing I had...although I don't have a ton of video editing experience so it probably wouldn't have been stellar anyway... But YEAH January seems like so long ago...and my other decisions aren't coming in until next Friday at the earliest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParisDreams Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 I applied for both but my video one was a bit of a hot mess, actually. I still tried. Most of the videos students posted were them talking for 3 minutes with a web camera so I didn't feel too bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coffeeandtravel Posted March 4, 2016 Author Share Posted March 4, 2016 Yeah now I'm wishing I had, but oh well. Here's to hoping they'll let us know today so we can breathe a bit easier this weekend (assuming they're both positive decisions!)... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry about the aid...I've heard that sometimes when people decline their offers, that aid goes to students who didn't receive any to begin with. Not sure how often this happens but it's worth asking the admissions team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ParisDreams Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 I wonder when we hear about endowed scholarships? Or is that the same thing as what has been already offered? Anyone from last year have any clues? I got into another program (BU) with funding so it's looking like Korbel has been crossed off my list :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coffeeandtravel Posted March 28, 2016 Author Share Posted March 28, 2016 Does anyone know of anyone who received the Sie Fellowship?? And if so, are their decisions required before the other April 20 funding deadline? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
