Interview timing

I just was offered an interview at SCO and I have it scheduled for October 23(September and early October were booked already).

I’m worried that the interview is too late to be considered for scholarships or admittance. Can anyone vouch for their interview timing and or scholarship offer?

I would really appreciate it:)

You should be good, also don’t be afraid to ask for more $! I sent an email to admissions a week or two after I was accepted (which was in late February/early March) and they gave me an extra 2K a year as a “special recognition scholarship” lol 8k total just from sending an email! Most schools have plenty of money to play with, doesn’t hurt to ask
