@ForestryGuy I bit the hand too. And now my post above is so much less funny. It’s been real folks, see you on the otherside.
Going off this thread, I wonder what the feel of the JKC Scholars Weekend is like…
Almost there folks! Hopefully one of us hears the music before the end of the week.
I need to know
It’s quiet on here…too quiet…
@jakobe2020 right?
Has anyone heard anything this week?
I think everyone is too excited about next week, I think that we should know by the end of the next week. I wish you all a very relaxed and productive wk !
Yeah. We all seemed to have contained our nervous excitement. Nothing this week. Hoping to get some news by next Friday. Good luck, everyone!
Looks like decisions have been finalized - provided the Cooke Foundation’s new 2016 Undergraduate Scholars webpage & required documents.

Good luck this week!
@AVDGHD Thanks for the link!
Good luck to all of the semifinalists! You guys are all great and I hope I’m able to stand among some of you at scholars weekend! If not, it was a good run and I’m more than happy to have even been considered!
May the JKC be with you
Just called - he said they are beginning to send out notifications, so everyone should hear within the next couple of weeks. But decisions have definitely been finalized.
Meaning people could hear today?? @aritransfer16
@jakobe2020 I also just called, they said everyone should be receiving an e-mail within 1-2 weeks. They are beginning to send them this week. Could that mean today? perhaps. It could also mean Friday for all that we know. We just have to wait fam. We are almost there!
The suspense is driving me wild.
Alright I couldn’t help it and I’m back.
Seriously though why would it take 1 to 2 weeks to send out an email to 85 people on a list, more like 1 to 2 hours. If its finalized they should tell us asap.
I very much concord with your observation ForestryGuy. I don’t see why we should wait 1-2 weeks if all they have to do is to send ,supposedly, 85 emails.
ugh I feel so nauseous.
By the way read a press release on their website from last year, they liked so many of the applicants that they awarded 90 scholarships last year instead of 85 <3
It’s the eye of the tiger!
If anyone saw the villanova vs Unc finals, it really reflects this whole thing. They were both winning, with a few seconds left - and a never before seen buzzer beater got Villanova the win.
The point is - I have never seen so many crying men sprawled on the floor in one space. It was hard for me to be happy for the winning team. Seeing both sides of the coin like that is really what life is about. We all want it that badly, and we all deserve it. Some of us will suffer greatly, and some of us will be happy. In the end I wish you all the best. Can’t wait to congratulate all of you - if I am still alive by the end of the week and catch a heart attack before then. I NEED TO KNOWwww gahhhh…
Eye of the tiger!!! (music playing)
Well, at least we know all the winners have been already chosen. All the is left for us is to wait and see. Hopefully, we will know this week. If I have to make a wild wild wild guess, I would say; they will let us know by tomorrow. Remember, the sent the notifications for the semifinalists on a Tuesday
I have the feeling we will get to know at the end of this week or next. One of my advisors said she and other advisors were told that we will hear at the end of the month. Right now, I have used up all the anxiety and suspense feelings my body can produce. I even feel numb. Im just waiting to hear the news. One thing I do know and want all of you to remember is that life is a jorney and nothing is a desitination. Winning this scholarship or not does not decide your future, only you can, and for you to be here it means there is something in you that they recognized. It is also in many of the others who didnt get the semifinalist email. Jack kent cooke just recognized you and whether or not you are a finalist, remember that greatness is inside of you no matter what and you are still on a jorney that can lead to wherever you decide to go.
