@ashkaush do you know how small, small really is?
@brantplant024 I have no way of knowing, haha. Did you get the same email?
I did! I took as good news but I was curious if small was 5 or 50. I guess we’ll just have to wait, good luck!
@brantplant024 Good luck to you too! Are you in college or high school?
@ashkaush I’m a junior in high school, you?
@ashkaush @branplant024 did any of you ask when we would be getting our decision?
@ohveer I haven’t.
@brantplant024 Same here!
Have any of you guys who made it past the first rejection round send an email to ask again?
Also, to all of you guys comparing stats: like yeah, it’s great that you have worked hard and accomplished these things, and good grades can mean a lot, but the people at JAX don’t even see your SAT scores or AP tests or maybe even how much lab experience you have. They look at how passionate you guys are, and passion is a good indicator of how hard you’re willing to work and achieve your best both in and out of the science lab. Stats just reduce you down to any other person. Everyone can have a good gpa or test scores, but I don’t think that makes us human; it makes us another profile, another set of numbers.
So yeah. Rant over.
@jan117 I feel you. My stats are not even that great but there are so many things contributing to them.
And I haven’t contacted anyone ever since they sent me the email.
Are you in high school?
@ohveer Yeah, I’m a junior in high school. Hbu?
@jan117 college freshman
Has anyone heard anything yet?
I hope they let us know this week…so anxious about this
Haven’t heard anything yet I’m taking this as bad news.
@ohveer chill bruh only good vibes. What makes you think it’s bad news?
Just got an email saying “you are a possible candidate” and asking to set up an interview. Has any one else gotten responses recently?
Yeah they sometimes do ask to interview if you’re in a nearby area I think. You can read some old threads on CC on JAX if you want. I haven’t gotten anything yet
I emailed Mr. McKernan and he said that final decisions should be out in 4-5 days. So no worries yet, @ohveer!
