Jefferson Scholars 2015 Nominees

@brooklyn13 Still waiting to hear back… Hopefully I can get lucky and get my letter tomorrow. Though my bet is that I’ll get it Wednesday

You’ve got me looking for a letter in the mail, now.

@ClassOf2020x @whitespace I actually got a call. My interview was this Friday in NY - not sure where you’re from, but I’m sure it differs by state.

I heard I’d be moving on to a second interview within 12 hrs of my first via email.

@Grubbs congrats! Good luck with your second interview.

I’m interested if anyone has heard “no” - are they sending out rejections at this stage?

@whitespace They send rejections out at every stage

@Classof2020x Alright, thanks for the info. I guess no news is better than bad news at this point.

@whitespace Haha yeah. I got no mail today so hopefully I’ll get a letter tomorrow

regional finalist! so excited for the selection weekend

My son had his 1st interview this past Saturday in NYC. Waiting to hear if he goes to 2nd round. Fingers crossed. Anyone else from NYC hear anything? Good luck to all.

@debate4ever Congratulations! What region are you from?

Thank you, and I’m from the deep south @ClassOf2020x

I’m anxiously waiting…

KY region, interviewed on the 30th. Said they would send 1-3 to finalist weekend and we would hear back within two weeks.

It would be slightly relieving to not get to finalist weekend so I don’t have to stress out about it, but I also really want a chance to win this scholarship hahaha.

I agree with you on the stress. I doubt I’ll move on, but it would be nice to hear either way. According to the Jeff Scholars website, an update will be posted by 2/20 on the portal.

Was just notified today that I will be moving on to selection weekend in Cville! I am beyond ecstatic right now. Also still in shock. I believe my region was one of the earlier (if not earliest) ones to finish up with candidate selections, so good luck to all of you who are currently interviewing!

Just read through the previous posts and realized that my region was def. not the earliest one to elect finalists. @debate4ever You beat me by a day haha! Looking forward to meeting you soon!

Just found out I’m not moving on. Good luck to all! I’m withdrawing my UVA app as well, as it’s really not the right fit for me anyway.

Best of luck, @whitespace
