JCamp 2017

The deadline was last night! Anyone here apply?

I did. Although I enjoy writing and am on my school’s newspaper staff, I don’t have extensive journalism experience. I still hope to attend this program. Good Luck @HalfwayThereUni1
Anyone on here that has attended in the past? Would you recommend this program?

Same to you-- good luck @itsjustmyfuture!! And I totally get you with not having extensive journalism experience on the application. My most “extensive” experience is also mainly being on our school’s newspaper staff, and while it’d be amazing to be selected and attend, I’m still worried my application will come up short compared to someone who has more skills and expertise…

I also don’t feel totally confident about the “Why Me?” question, and I didn’t do a youtube video, which I’m questioning now… But all we can do is hope!!!

When will they notify us regarding their admission decisions?

Sorry this is late!

@itsjustmyfuture I emailed before I applied and was told mid-April. Thus, I’m thinking anywhere from April 3rd-14th… Although, to judge from past forums (2016, 2015), I think we’ll know/begin to know before April 8th…

Good to know. Do you need to be a candidate that adds diversity or Asian to be admitted? I am neither, but love journalism.

Hey guys!
I just wanted to say that they’re notifying people! I got my acceptance email on the 30th, so I think they’ll continue into this week.

GOOD LUCK!!

@HalfwayThereUni1
