Hey everybody. I started this thread early one even if I know the JKC will be launched later on. I believe it is a way for us to start connecting.
I created this thread since June, I just wondered if like every year some of the JKC Undergraduate transfer scholarship applicants of this year will like to chat about the application process. So, my name is Abdoul-hanane Gbadamassi, I am a BMCC CUNY alumni. I was a semifinalist last year.
Feel free to introduce yourself and letâs get to know each other. We are forever family
Does anyone know when the transfer decision will be released?
Umm i donât really know the exact date. But they said it will be in this month so expect the result to be available any time. But most likely it will be at the end of the month.
That makes sense. Last year it came out around the end of Jan, but since the due date was extended this year it makes sense that it would be a bit later.
Yes , were you an applicant last year too and which school are you attending as It will be good to get to know each other outside of the scholarship sphere.. I also hope to see a lot of people this year in this thread like past year.
Yes, I was an applicant last year. Fingers crossed this year!
Hello!! Im also 2021 transfer student canât wait to hear back from the JKC foundation. I think itâll be most likely around the next week or so. Good luck to everyone !
Results are out, congrats to the semifinalists!
Have you guys completed the additional information requests and css profiles yet?
Provide me with your Instagram username. We have a chat there for semifinalists. If any new semifinalist came across this page add me on IG : @Just_good__vibes___ and letâs connect. You will be also able to meet other semifinalist after I add you to the gcđ.
Hi @everyone. I am a semifinalist for the 2021 JKCTS. Still waiting to hear back. Did anyone get updates recently? Good luck to all!
Hey Valerie! Congrats . the final decision will be in April probably late April. I guess the foundation is reviewing our application holistically and if they need any information from an applicant they will reach out. As a second-time applicant, I can tell you that last year we receive the CSS profile and some of us received an interview invite. However, that doesnât define if you will get the scholarship or not, and letâs not forget that this year is quite different so everything might not be proceeding normally. Did you hear anything after the semifinalist announcement?
Also, we have an IG chat that can only take up to 32 people, but it will soon be full so if you come across this feed, just drop any questions at this point here and I will try my best to answer it. Letâs go semi-cookies
Hey @Guru123: Thanks! No, I didnât hear anything from them since then. There were a couple of emails right after the semifinalist decision was published regarding CCS profile. Between waiting for updates on the JKCTS and college admissions, anxiety is off the charts! Good luck to you âand may two be the charm! Keep us in the loop.
Thank you, @valerienyc. I feel you. Which schools are you applying to? if you donât mind to share.
@Guru123: Not at all. Catching up on late night work here, as many will relate. I applied to Columbia GS, Eli Whitney at Yale (EWSP), and am finishing my application for NYU (applying to Tisch School of Arts/Film & Media Program and College of Arts & Sciences/Journalism; separate applications). I got into Hunter College (Hunter is which is considered Ivy League of public high-ed in NYC). What about you?
I got into Hunter too and Brooklyn college Lehman and City and University of Detroit Mercy. I applied to 12 or 14 additional schools and Yale Princeton Cornell and Brown are the only ivies I applied to. Hopefully you get into all your schools . It will be lit if we end up in the same selective schools .
Hello everyone! I did not receive an email from JKC for an interview yet. Should I be worried?
Hey @Jane31: I havenât been invited for an intv either. Hang in there! We should hear something soon.
