How many students will be selected?


~100



100 will get full scholarship and the rest will get partial tuition discount scholarship.
Is that correct?


About 150 kids are BK kids - 1/2 full, 1/2 partial. I don't know the exact numbers but I'd guess 250 + kids are invited to the interview. Keep in mind, if your kid is invited to the interview, kid is already a BK scholar. Interview will determine whether you get full or 1/2. Both categories are called BK Scholar

What are the interviews like for these? My DD is wondering what to expect. Also, what factors are they considering when they make their final decisions?

I am sure a good percentage based on the fact their high stats will get them into top schools. That is if they have the finances to cover tuition.

Many people decline. My DS got into MIT and went there instead.

Where did he get in ?
I will assume some students might decline and go to their dream school.

For UMD honors acceptances, I heard that Banneker/Key semifinalist letters are out in email.
