AAJA JCamp 2017

Hi y’all
I just got my rejection email today. To everyone that got rejected… it sucks, but it’s okay. We can always try again next year and I’m sure there are plenty of other opportunities out there. :slight_smile:

I got my acceptance email last week!

Has anyone heard anything about JCamp?

Can’t wait to meet you guys this summer (:

I got in! I’m so excited but super nervous since I’m the only one from Oregon going this year!

@yoharamona SAME I also made my account just for this although I use CC a lot

Anyways, I got in and my experience is:
I restarted the journalism program at my high school and am the editor-in-chief as a sophomore (started at the end of my freshman year). My short response questions were pretty good (I thought)- I wrote about someone I would interview if I could interview anyone and picked a personal hero of mine, Princess Khutulun. I’m also the only one from my state that is going (there have been as many as 3 in the past) and I don’t know how many applied.

Congrats! Can’t wait to meet everybody this summer : )

@karebear387 what state?
Speaking off, is anyone by any chance leaving from the Albuquerque airport OR does anyone have a flight in Denver at 10:40 AM on the way there? I’m hoping I see someone else wearing that bright green shirt because this is my first time flying alone and I have no idea what I’m doing lol

@yoharamona Oregon. I’m stopping in Chicago though! I guess I’ll see you in Philly.

Hey guys! I just noticed there was a thread for this lol, less than 2 weeks until Jcamp, I’m pumped
