Does anyone know when information about the scholarships for Maine Track is released? And how many are awarded / how they are awarded?

Does anyone know when information about the scholarships for Maine Track is released? And how many are awarded / how they are awarded?

I don’t know when the information is released, but I believe everyone is automatically considered for the scholarship (no separate application). Up to twenty scholarships are awarded, and since the class is 40 students, it seems like half of the class receives them. They are NOT need-based and are awarded on “criteria established by a Maine-based scholarship committee”. I’ve heard them referred to as “merit-based” so I don’t know what those criteria are, but it’s safe to assume it’s based on information that’s already included in your application file.

I am URM. I can only say to stay hopeful, as I was feeling the same way the past 3 months when it was quiet. Good luck!

II earlier in the week
Complete 07/27

 

[deleted1150423]

hi! just to confirm - besides the candidate reply, there's nothing else we have to do until next year?

 

[ploguap]

Should I wait till my interview to update them next month or should I do it now through a letter

 

[gasstationsushi]

Should I wait till my interview to update them next month or should I do it now through a letter

I don't think it will hurt to save it for the interview! They'll find out regardless, but since you already have the II there isn't much more an update letter would do for you between now and your interview.

 

[bincx1602]

I'd save that update for after the interview so you can send a letter of intent with your updates in it . N = 1 but that's what I did 🫣

Does anyone know how post II deferrals fare at Tufts historically? Do deferred people get accepted in meaningful numbers?

For Maine Track, we were told they didn’t accept Thank You letters for interviewers.

They accepted any other type of letter, though!

Congrats to all acceptances! I am interviewing early next month, could anyone tell me the stress level of the interviews?

Mine were very relaxed. Was just was asked about me really

I'm gonna be completely honest; both of my interviewers were pretty tough, and I thought I bombed them (which is why I'm stunned). I would say only 10-20% of the questions I was asked were about myself/my experiences. However!!! I do think my interview experience is just one of VERY many, and it seemed like everyone else in my interview cohort came back from their interviews feeling great (so I really do think that the majority of interviews are more casual/personal). This is cheesy but the most important thing is that I tried to be myself and keep a level-head. Do the same, and you'll be great!!
