Hey guys. I replied in the beginning of this thread hoping to see how the JKC process would go for you guys under a similar account…since then I’ve been working, volunteering, activism, etc…I check the thread regularly( I’m a ghost lol) and you guys are such motivation for those who will be applying next round. I hope the best for ya in the following two weeks.
P.S That Brooklyn scholar actually attends a school I know really well since my childhood lol I’m glad scholars are being chosen from deplorable communities like Crown Heights(where I also reside).
She said WE definitely won’t be notified first, not even by email. She does this every year. She emailed them to let them know and to clarify if there were any others that she didn’t know about. I guess for now I’ll assume I am not going to get it. I would assume they would make SURE to contact the point person informing them of the top picks. They wouldn’t forget about their top choice
Jouuuu: The application status never changes, even after you win. There is no trick, no gimmick, no way to scooby doo this mystery. The only thing you can do is wait
@nekozuki haha, I figured that was the case. I just wanted to confirm. I am not comfortable being this anxious, I usually never am. The problem here is that I’m dealing with both the wait, my decision for UVA, school and work. I don’t feel like myself at all.
@Jouuuu I am on the same boat. I cannot take all this stress, work and school and relationships. It’s actually affecting my sleep. My friends and professors are saying “just focus on other things” - not that easy. I kind of just want to assume I’m not getting it and that’s it. This wait is too hard. This is exactly why I never allow myself to want anything too badly, fear of success/fear of failure - some of the worst character defects. I am going to find a way to minimize my checking of me email and waiting for mail from schools. Gotta stay afloat some how, spring break is upon us - beach time.
I am actually a lot calmer. Now that I know they’re going out, there is a solidified timeline - I will hear or not, but at least the when isn’t super unknown.
