The Unofficial SMART Scholarship Forum

Submitting a SAAR probably answers both of your questions.

There’s also a bunch of people on the discord too who are basically having a waiting party at this point, haha. Here’s a link to the discord if you’re not on it yet!

I'm a Mech E accepted to Picatinny Arsenal. We should get a lil chat goin

Join the discord! That’s where a lot of folks are talking. The link’s in one of the most recent posts

I also received an offer from Picatinny (and immediately accepted, seeing as it was my number one SF)! I'm a second year Computer Networking & Cybersecurity student. If anyone that got into Picatinny wants to talk, my DMs are open!

I got the award! 3.9 GPA Cybersecurity Major from Champlain College at the Picatinny Arsenal in NJ!

It I believe it depends solely on the SF. I was told that my number one SF received roughly 104 candidates and they could only have 10 SMART scholars, so they would have to narrow down that list.

I just got my third interview this morning. The first was from my number 1 facility, the second was from my number 3, and the third was another branch from my first facility. He sent me an email saying he wanted to talk to me, so I called him back about an hour later.

I'm glad you got something. I'm going nuts over not hearing anything, even though I know it doesn't mean anything either way. I'm aiming for Pittsburgh and was specific about that in my essay. I don't really want to pack up my family and move, but at the same time, covid has rather messed up my spo...

Does anyone know about how many people the SF's can interview each year? My interviewer said that the facility he is located at had 104 semi-finalists pick them as either their first or second choice that they can view. He also said that out of those 104 people, his facility could only get around 1...

I just got an email from a USACE Chief (they actually have branches in every facility I put down, apparently) and they sent me and six other kids interview requests saying here's a time, tell me if it works or not for you. This women was from the USACE New York District, and is the Deputy Chief of t...

Thank you dilly. Reminded him not to voluntarily mention that he also got an email from another SF. But I guess if they ask him, he would need to just give a quick answer that another SF contacted him. On his application, he only provided one email address. Question to everyone, are all your interv...

I wouldn't. Just interview with both. If he gets an offer from both, he can pick, I'm pretty sure. But you don't want neither to offer, thinking he's getting placed elsewhere. I'm so paranoid that the interview request will be sent to my generic Gmail and that I'll miss it. Did your messages get se...

Did you just get a random call or did they email you to let you know first to set up a time for the interview? They emailed me first, saying that they were interested in speaking with me if I was interested. I emailed back asking for a time they were available, and they gave me a time and I agreed....

Had my “interview” a few days ago, the man was very kind and seemed very interested in me. I put interview in quotes because it was more like a very pleasant talk; very low stress after the begging nerves were gone, and we even eventually got to talking about video games towards the end. We talked a...
