Hello, please has anyone heard from Arizona State University regarding the MasterCard foundation scholarship? Any info at all would be great

2024:

I guess they are tired of responding to candidates questions. But to mean, it doesn't make sense at all. At least they should able to communicate a well detailed answer for all to see in their website, not keeping people in the dark. If they want to reject, let them do it now since they have already ask their finalist to interview, this way others rejected can move on abeg, and not keeping it till January 2025 for rejection.

They've asked finalists to interview?

No, my recommenders have not been ed. I think MCF McGill stated that recommenders would only be ed at the tail end of the scholarship selection process.

There isn't any specified word count on the University's website. I believe SOP shouldn't be more than two pages.

Please, I'm confused in the grading system of academic background. My school uses a 4 point scale. However according to their own scaling for Nigeria. 4.0 is first class while 3.5 to 3.99 is second class under 3.3. My grade is 3.68 which is a first class but falls under 3.3. Which one did you choose when you were applying?

According to the University's website, the below is the conversion scale for degrees from Nigeria

Nigerian CGPA to McGill CGPA
4.0/4.0 or 5.0/5.0 - Equivalent to 4.0/4.0
3.5 to 3.99/4.0 - Equivalent to 3.3/4.0
4.5 to 4.99/5.0 - Equivalent to 3.3/4.0
3.0 to 3.49/4.0 - Equivalent to 3.0/4.0
4.0 to 4.49/5.0. - Equivalent to 3.0/4.0

I had 4.4/5.0, so I chose 3.0/4.0 ( McGill University scale). If you had a CGPA of 3.86/4.0 in Nigeria, your McGill University converted CGPA would be 3.3/4.0.
You are correct by selecting 3.3/4.0
