Scholarship and acceptance came through email a few minutes after the status checker updated.

That's awesome! Congratulations.

I got in a few weeks ago with no interview. No scholarship offer was attached. I just doublechecked my status checker to see if there was anything new and there wasn't. Does anybody know when we can expect to hear about scholarships?

Back in the old days (two cycles ago), the Dean's Scholarships came out first, then all lesser scholarships didn't come out until March/April. Admissions keeps changing its style every year, but it could be that only the Hughes scholars will hear about scholarships along with acceptance and everyone else will have to wait until later.

In today via email and SC with Charles Evans Hughes! Above both 75ths. Had my LikeLive interview yesterday and thought it went poorly. FWIW, my "interview requested" status updated to today's date sometime this afternoon; the email came a few hours later.

This happened to me as well. Date changed several hours before acceptance/scholarship appeared on status checker.

Did the interview today, boy was that awkward.

Stumbled on my words a couple times and got stuck. Its weird interviewing with someone who isnt there.

I hope it was just a YP tactic to see if we would take the time to interview.

Just did the interview. It really catches you off guard. I thought you would get a couple seconds before it started recording to think about the questions, but oh well, it didn't go too badly. I think they know that it's a new format to most people so they won't hold it against you if you're a little shaky at the beginning.
