@CAALMZ_01 Welcome! It seems like April is gong to be the big month for all of us.
I’m wondering if they’ll send us emails requesting our grades like they did in some previous cycles.
I have no idea but I already emailed the foundation to see if they are willing to give me any updates on my current status ,but in the mean while I am remaining positive
@CAALMZ_01 I have not heard back from them either. I look at it this way, No one truly knows their process for choosing finalists, besides the individuals on the selection committee. Yes, it could be true that the people who received an email made it to the next round and we didn’t. It could also be true that they have moved some to the next round (whom they did not need any further information from) and they need more information from those who are “on the line” of moving to the next round. Truthfully, it could be anything. All we can do is just assume. Let’s continue to hope for the best!
I asked the foundation and they said they did not need anything else from me one more month!
Another semifinalist popping up to say hello! But holy moly did anyone else’s application portal change??? I think mine already has the final decision on it :o
I thought this guy was just goofing around.
Guys. Log onto your JKFC portal, now.
Hm, nothing has changed for me at all, I don’t think. That’s not a good sign.
Would you guys mind describing what you’re seeing?
I’ll PM you @AllDogsAreGood . It’s probably them just updating the portal, it looks completely different than before. Let’s wait until the end of the month (or better yet, for an email lol), before any lines are drawn.
@AGoodFloridian Eek, thanks so much! My heart kind of stopped when I saw your comments, haha. I was thought, “Welp, at least I know I’m rejected now instead of being strung along for another month and a half!”
@poppypup What makes you think you know your decision is posted? Does it explicitly say so? Hope it was good news!
@AGoodFloridian @poppypup I’m also curious as to what y’all are seeing! Mine still looks the same too @AllDogsAreGood I wouldn’t be surprised though, if they announce finalists early. It seems, compared to last year, that they’re ahead of schedule.
@exnihilonihilfit @AllDogsAreGood sorry guys, didn’t mean to freak you all out! I was just so excited there was some change 
On my application portal next to my name there are now two highlighted boxes that say Scholar and Undergraduate Transfer Scholarship. Also, below there’s a new section that says scholar onboarding with questions about how I’d like to communicate with my cooke advisor. However, I didn’t get any kind of email from the foundation itself yet so this is pretty weird, but I’m really excited!!! :bz
just pls let this not be a mistake i will die
I don’t know if this is new or I didn’t notice before but there are four squares on my dashboard, one of them asks for scholar onboarding information.
@poppypup Oh my goodness, that honestly sounds telling! Why else would it say Scholar if you didn’t get it! Did you try to email the foundation about it?
I wonder if it’s an accident though, to have updated the portal so soon? Don’t they normally allow colleges the chance to surprise finalists?
@exnihilonihilfit eep I’m too nervous in case they say it’s a mistake! I’d rather just have the foundation tell me the decision directly. But crossing my fingers and toes!!
Did anyone else get a similar change on their portal too??
Heart skipped a beat when I got an email from JKC a few minutes ago. It was them giving a plug to Swarthmore college :)) They waive the application fee for anyone coming from a community college.
I got the same changes, but honestly guys, I think they are just updating their interface.
Lol, rejection here I come! But seriously, It’s been a nice run guys, Congrats to those of you who got the update if you if it turns out to be what you think it was!
I am right there with you @FinishingTheApp. Oh well. Best luck to everyone else!
And congrats to those who have that in your dashboard. I would say it seems like no mistake and the real deal!
It is too early to make any conclusions.
