This round now is for the finalists from what they told me. I called twice
Ohhh man @zoonbhrogers They must be getting a decent number of calls rn, yikes
They must have got pissed by that time. Lol
so why was I told i was not a finalist??
LOL, It sounds like some people maybe said some things they weren’t suppose to. I was told I was “under review” but my friend was told he lost. I think we just need to wait it out, as confused as I am, I don’t want to over anaylze every meaning behind the words. Let’s all go to Dave and busters tonight, family game night yall.
@prosperj I think you are right, I think the guy I talked to wasn’t supposed to tell me that I wasn’t a finalist. I called back and the second guy told me that they haven’t mailed the notices yet and they would email them at the end of the month. He would not answer my question directly, he just kept saying he “didn’t have that information available”, so I’m sure that means that I did not win. Again, congratulations to the winners and I hope the process goes smoother for you guys from here on out
The mischevious intern strikes again! First the portal, now this?!
@prosperj I like that idea. I need a good movie to watch tonight.
I just called and talked to Chris! they said that they would not have any information until the end of April
btw, I wrote about food insecurity.
Maybe some things were said that were not suppose to
I have been a silent observer for awhile now.
What colleges did you all apply to?
Hi, guys I am a semifinalist too. I have been looking at this forum for months so I guessed I should finally join !
I dont understand why they would let three persons know and not the rest?
I feel your pain @room4more , last year I lost and it was painful. Don’t let that decision define you, we all made it this far for a reason. We are elite and in our own ways all deserving of a chance for a higher education regardless of income and background. This is far from the end for any of us, whether we have to take the year off, work 3 jobs, or go to a more “realistic” school. Please don’t let some English professors (I imagine that’s who reads these) in the middle of nowhere who have never met you determine your worth. We are all JKC scholars whether we get it or not. Good luck everyone!!!
@CAALMZ_01 I think you are absolutely right
@zoonbhrogers I applied to University of Texas at Austin, (which is where I will go now since I didn’t win scholarship), but if I had won, I had applied to University of Wisconsin/Madison and College of William and Mary and also Beloit College, I grew up there lol
Im a History Major
Is there anybody an international student? I feel like we might have less chances to win. All of the people I know that they win the scholarship are immigrants or citizens. I’m just going give a call tomorrow and see what is going on…
This forum put me through it this afternoon… I just took a nap and feel better about everything lol
@bainianjun I am an international applicant. Last year they had 2-3 international student accepted for the scholarship. I think they give out scholarships without looking at the applicant’s origin or citizenship.
@zoonbhrogers I applied to Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri state university (I already got accepted and 100% financial need covered), Bocconi University in Italy (got accepted with full ride including room and board). My dream school is WashU St. Louis.
