Jack Kent Cooke Foundation College Scholarship

Congrats!!!

Has anyone else been called? (my D has not been)

@NJRoadie I know one other who was called so far

@EarlyAction2020 @Philomath123 have you been notified that you are a finalist? I know that you were asked for additional information and your portal showed scholar.

@dprice386 Congrats!!!

Just got my call about an hour and a half ago! They picked 85 scholars out of 600 this year (I asked the person who called me).

Congratulations @Philomath123 !

EDIT: I am referring to the College Scholarship, not the Undergraduate transfer one. Someone asked how many semi-finalists were picked and they were told 600, so a 85/600 acceptance rate if you want to calculate that. Good luck to everyone!

but 4400 applied in total so in reality, 85/4400

So have they notified everyone?

Anyone know if everyone has been notified and if there is anyone who is a scholar but did not get a request for additional info?

I received the call as well! Congrats everyone

Do you guys have any idea how long it takes for them to make all the calls, and whether or not they send emails to the semifinalists who don’t get it? I want to know if I should break the news to my mom that I didn’t get it or wait a bit.

@EarlyAction2020 Congrats! Were you asked for additional info, and if you looked at the portal had your status changed to Scholar/Finalist? Where are you going to college?

Congratulations @EarlyAction2020 !

So I’m guessing they’re done letting Scholars know their status? I was hoping they would at least grace me with a rejection letter or email…

I would think they will. Wish they would have before now.

Rejection emails go out much later than the calls. Usually two weeks or so. Everyone I know who had ‘Scholar’ on their portal did receive a call – so it looks like notifications went out.

Just saw where someone was notified today.

There is a list of scholars on their site. We were not not on the list - good luck everyone.
