With basically the same numbers, and most of the same schools, and similar scholarships so far, I look at your profile for updates all the time. Good luck with your cycle!

I received an email saying that he wanted to meet with me, so I scheduled a time. I don't think they interview everybody, maybe just the full schollies. Good luck!
