Jack Kent Cooke 2018-2019 Undergradate Transfer Scholarship

@they did. I was a little bit more calm after everything that happened so far.
@yadav2 Thank you so much!!!

Anyone heard anything so far?

@bainianjun Still waiting…

Same here…really hoping things are settled tomorrow.

I called the foundation few minutes ago and she seemed like a good lady. She said that my application is in one of the top applications for undergraduate program. I don’t know what she meant by that like semi-finalist or finalist. I told her about the email issue. Apparently they have wrong email address of my college rep. in their database. And then she told me that tomorrow around 11 am EST foundation will send out email to all applicants about the status of their application. Tomorrow is going to be a BIG day for everyone. For finalist because they will be announced as official JKC scholars and for the people who have not heard anything till now.

Congrats to all those who have won thus far! I hope there are more to come tomorrow!!

@yadav2 OMG, WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO WITH MYSELF TILL THEN?!!!?

@norcalbusiness Do some homework, watch some netflix, take a long nap till 11 am EST. LOL

@yadav2 I have to hand it to you, you are a master at getting intel for us hahahah THANK you!!

I’m soooo glad they’re sending out an email to all applicants tomorrow and hope they continue doing that for the upcoming years! The wait is finally over, we did it <3 .

Go back to page one. See how far we’ve all come.

Oh and my college releases my “surprise video” they recorded tomorrow as well.

I might share it with y’all if I look good in it hahahaha

@AGoodFloridian YOU HAVE TO!!! DO IT. :smiley:

For those who got the scholarship, did you guys all get the glitch (the portal change) from last time?

Thanks for keeping us updated @yadav2 honestly I think you won, so I’m wishing you the best. Today has been dragging so I hope tomorrow we all get some clarity cause my heart can’t take another week of this lol

Good afternoon everyone,

I hope you are all well!

I never thought I would be joining this website as a member, but here I am. I am one of the Scholarship recipients. I received news of my getting the scholarship just an hour or two ago from the representative at my school. I am so thrilled and excited!
I am very happy to be joining this year’s cohort! To all the other winners, CONGRATULATIONS! I cannot wait to meet you all. I am still in awe and asking, why me?? I am the first and only finalist chosen from my school.

To answer the question above, I received the glitch that occurred March 5th, 2018.
I look forward to speaking to you all.

For those interested in knowing, I will be attending Columbia University!

God Bless everyone!

@prosperj I did receive the glitch. Take a deep breath I know how the waiting can be what whatever it turns out you have to be proud of what you have accomplished. The best of the luck my friend!!

@bersyluv Welcome aboard and to the family!! Have you already heard back from Columbia or is it your top choice?

@Caligirl001 I received the glitch, too.

It seems like everyone that is a finalist recieved the glitch back in March :confused:

@bersyluv congratulations!!!

the glitch happened so quickly, I didnt have a chance to check my account before it was fixed!! How many of the winners were asked for the financial update?

I just want to take this moment to congratulate each and every finalist for JKC Undergraduate Transfer Scholarship. Yes, you did it! You are one of the very few to accomplish this great title that is going to change your life and will help you to grow and become mature. Congratulations again! Give a huge hug to your parents and family for supporting you though this process. And then chill, eat some pizza (or some favourite food), and sleep like a BABY!!
Now to the people who haven’t got any update till now. I just want to say hang in there. I wish that we all get a great news tomorrow. However, most of us are going to face a harsh reality that is rejection. Let me tell you that even if you get rejected tomorrow, you are still in top 20% in this nation in the category of community colleges’ students. And I know that if you made it to semi-finals then you all are pretty good at academics and going to do great things in your life. This rejection shouldn’t end your hope to become a great person in this world. And most of us are still waiting for that admissions letter from our dream school. So, if you are in 20% in the nation and top 1or 2% in your college then you might get a great financial package from your college. That means you might not even need this scholarship. However, obviously the title and being a JKC scholars matter more than those 40k. But, of course now we already know some great finalists like @AGoodFloridian and etc. then we can make our own semi-finals family with them. My point is simple that if you don’t get this scholarship tomorrow then you should also chill, eat some pizza (or your favourite food), celebrate this journey, and then sleep like a BABY! Just forget about everything for a minute and then look for your best option for further studies.
I am pretty much sure that I am going to Bocconi University, Milan (Italy) to finish my studies. So, tomorrow even if I get this scholarship, I am going to decline the offer as I will not be able to use the same in the foreign country. Even tho I am going to Italy, I have a decent idea about US universities and scholarships. So, if you need someone to talk about anything or need some research info about schools, scholarships and etc. then please hit me up. I will love to talk to you guys. My snapchat- pseudovikas.
