Your video is soooooo helpful...thank you, thank you so much for taking the time to make this video. Trying to prepare for the interview panel. Do you have any additional tips to add that you've thought of since you made the video to prepare for the interview? Trying to be super prepared...but your tips in the video were SUPER helpful!

Aw 🥹! You don’t know how happy I am to hear that 🫶🏽. I don’t really have any other interview tips except the cliché advice of being yourself. I also HIGHLY recommend doing a mock interview with someone. Just know your WHY & let your passions shine. Wishing you the absolute best! Feel free to reach out to me if you need an additional resource 💙
Thank you so much for this video!! It is very helpful because I am applying for the priority deadline scholarship right now!!

Very good video!
Hi! I know in the beginning of you’re video, you mentioned that you were so set on A&T that you did not apply to any other colleges, but do you happen to know whether or not applying early action means that you have to stick with A&T only once you have been accepted ? Also congratulations on your full scholarship!🎉 I aspire to achieve the same😆

Hi there! Applying early action does not bind you to A&T. Applying early decision means you have to go if you are accepted but I don't remember A&T offering early decision. Therefore, I recommend applying early action so you can know quicker and begin to decide. & thank you, if you put in the work you can do the same :)))
Video is great.. they just released the scholarships and I was passed over, I was wondering when they notified you of your scholarship after announcing the distinguished scholars recipients?

Hi! I was notified about receiving my scholarship about 3 weeks after the honors decisions came out.
When in the year is Honors Weekend?

@@niveahoward9145 One more question. Is the Honors decision after you are accepted into the college AND commit or is it before? I am guessing before because it might play a role in whether you commit but I am not sure. Thanks.

@@newtkincaid5661 it’s before. For me personally, I was going to A&T either way. But it’s not like that for everyone. A lot of people wait to see what honors says, then they commit. Hope this helps! 😊
I believe we should be getting our IDs today. I hope I get e-scholars

Are International students also eligible for these scholarships?
What were the video interview questions?
@niveahoward9145

I don’t remember exactly. Something along the lines of “what kind of leader are you?” & “what are you passionate about?” 😊
Do you mind if I contact you privately. I have a few questions. I’m struggling a bit helping my daughter through this process. This is one of her top choices.
