The Unofficial SMART Scholarship Forum

Well I guess the login question doesn't matter anymore now.

Got the email 5:10 p.m. central time.

Not chosen.

Nope I have received anything yet, but I checked the login in site and was denied, so my guess is no

Do you mean that you were denied the ability to login? Or did you login and it didn't say anything about you getting the scholarship?

Seriously guys chill. Someone was bound to make the joke. And it's not like he said "oh they only took 175 people" which would have been believable and stressful. Just have a little chuckle and continue about your day. Plus, I'm tired of checking updates when all they contain are complaints about an...

FYI, we just received a call at our home from someone at the Navy who said they were part of the SMART program. My daughter then called after they spoke to her...mostly due diligence regarding the BS/MS program she intends to pursue. However, he said that it would be another week or two until final...

In addition to wondering how you know, I also want to know what you mean by "letters." Are emails being sent out? Or only hard-copy packets?

I don't know about y'all, but they got my hopes up about being on time with this when they sent out the semi-finalist notifications a day early. I was completely shocked that something related to the government was not only on time, but was EARLY. Guess that's not the case with this one. With a last...

... the first one says that notifications will be sent on the 30th and the second one says on the 31st. And then there's the fact that most individual communication (people sending emails, questions during interviews, etc.) has resulted in the response that notifications will be sent out "sometime ...

I haven't seen many other computer science students post on here. Just curious to see from where you got calls, where you listed as your top three, and just a little more about the other computer science majors that applied. I'm tired of reading about all these darn engineers. ;) I'm a Junior Comp S...

I was able to send Lackland AFB an updated resume, but that was only after they had contacted me. So it is possible, but I don't see any way of going about it unless you are contacted first. But definitely don't be shy to ask to send updated info if you are contacted!

Just got a phone call from Lackland AFB to set up a phone interview for Friday morning. He said he would email me with the confirmation of the time, but the phone call was the first contact.

Every job and internship I've ever interviewed for has asked me about a specific time that I worked as part of a team. They asked what my role was, what I contributed, and what the biggest obstacles were and how we overcame them. Sometimes they might ask what I learned from that experience, but even...

Thanks for asking this! I just assumed if I got it that I would be interning over the summer. Is the summer orientation for everyone? I'd like to be able to keep this in mind when applying to other summer internships.

@Mike, those numbers make me feel good. I've been able to make it to the top 20% of applicants in other internships I've applied to, so here's to keeping that up. *fingers crossed* Best of luck to you, and keep safe.

Since it's a new semester, I'm (obviously) in new courses. In those courses I'm learning Java, C, and Perl as well as the Unix environment. I don't have these on my resume because at the time of submitting the app I hadn't learned those languages and didn't know how my schedule would be this semeste...
