@yadav2 I only know that it’s 47 because of the certificate from the Jack Kent Cooke Foundation. I don’t know if other districts know their winners yet, but I and two others in our district were told today. You never know!
@poppypup Ahhhh, the “portal update” messenger, I’m so happy you won. A thousand congratulations to you and @EmbodiedRequiem ! You popped out of the woodwork but we’re so glad to have you onboard with great news like that. Rejoice Cookie cousins! MORE SHALL FOLLOOOW, keep those seats near you nice and warm <3
I don’t know why my college rep called me and then hang up on me. When I called her back she disconnected my phone call. What is going on in this world? LOL
Well she just called me back and told me to report to Dean’s Office tomorrow at 11am. So, I think there can only two reasons behind the same - 1. I got the scholarship or 2. I am in trouble. She didn’t told me anything. Lol Pray for me.
Thank you so much everyone! Best of luck to everyone on here! :x
I also got access to the official email now from my jkc rep. (b/c I needed to see my name in print to really believe lol), and it says colleges have until April 10th to notify scholars. It looks like the email was sent to school two days ago. I can’t believe we’re already at this point though, I was listening to the song “April Come She Will” by simon & garfunkel on repeat just waiting for this day. Now to celebrate my birthday!
@sfl_history-anim Thank you! My birthday’s not actually until later this month, but this really feels like the best birthday present I could get. I’m glad I’m entering my twenties on this great note. <:-P
I just called the foundation and they told me that yesterday that person was not supposed to tell anyone that you are not a finalist. Obviously, they want colleges to release first.
Furthermore, if you are selected your college rep. should have already received the notification from the foundation. So, contact your rep and ask her/him about the update.
