@yadav2 And did she know that you were an undergraduate transfer applicant?
If that’s the case, and you want to find out the way, then do what you feel comfortable with Let us know how it goes if you’d like.
@yadav2 I would try emailing them only if we don’t hear back in the next two weeks. Like everyone else, I have a feeling results will be announced sooner than previous years!
So awesome to see so many people of different ages in our semifinalist group! Thank you all for sharing, I’m sure there are lots of interesting stories and pathways behind everyone’s educational journey. I’m about to enter my twenties so we’ll see how that goes haha
You won’t get as diverse a bunch as the JKC applicants, really! Diversity in every aspect you can imagine, especially experience. It must be a lot of work for the Foundation to go over applications (and ultimately choose) but I can just imagine how many incredible stories they read over the years.
Just as two other mini icebreakers (bc I love seeing sudden bursts of posts on this thread and need more ways to pass time until the official you-know-what), how would you all prefer to be notified if you won? I know it’s a bit of an indulgent question, but one of my semifinalist friends really doesn’t want to be filmed and posted all over the school’s social media so I started to really wonder how different schools would approach it.
Also because I’m waiting for lunch, what is all of you all’s favorite pasta sauce? I’m really digging pesto these days, with lots of hot pepper flakes~
@poppypup IDEALLY, I’d LOVE a phone call from the foundation, today or tomorrow. lol. Also, PESTO IS LIFE.
@poppypup You read my mind lol, I just hope anyone following the thread doesn’t get a mini-heartattack seeing the amount of notifications.
Honestly, as much as I like the idea of having a fun surprise, I would rather know by a nice phonecall, either by my college’s representative or from someone in the Foundation.
Either way I can a) thank someone , b) notify my college list asap!
Though if I had to go with surprises, I wouldn’t mind the whole beautiful-lady-jumping-out-of-oversized-cake thing, holding the JKC flag. Do they still do that? :))
@AGoodFloridian Until you find out that the girl is the one whose car you jumped in the other day while running away from paparazzi and then embarrassed yourself horribly in front of Yeah I’m a real sucker for musicals haha
@norcalbusiness AND YES! ALL BOUT DAT PESTO LIFE :)>-
@AGoodFloridian Yes, I did told her that I am Undergraduate Transfer Scholarship Applicant. And the, she asked my name and told me hold a min. so that she can pull-up my application.
I am NOT going to email them because I don’t want to ruin my Calculus test on Wednesday if I didn’t got it. LOL
I sent an email… WE’LL SEE WHAT HAPPENS!!
@norcalbusiness Crossing my fingers!! If they’re really willing to share the decision like that, then most likely the decisions will be rolling out very soon this week. Keep us updated!
Hey guys I just wanted to wish everyone good luck! I wish we could all win haha. But regardless It’s been great being a semifinalist with you guys! And I just recently turned 21.
@schelenzer I’m from Houston - Lone Star College CyFair
@poppypup Favorite pasta sauce? AH talk about difficult life decisions… Lately I have been feeling three cheese or garlic parmesan =P~ Now I’m hungry.
No luck on a decision. They did say that “finalists will be announced in the coming month.” Sooooo, WE WAIT!!
High school scholar list was posted today! Even though their deadline was after ours >:(
I don’t know, it’s common for reps to “overshoot” dates. I’m still confident about this week.
It just came out!
I got in!
@arinuma What just came out? You got the undergrad transfer scholarship?
Oops wrong one lol
I mean high school.
@arinuma Congrats!
