Jefferson Scholars 2016 Nominees

Hi everyone! Nominee from MA here—I’d like to create a thread for nominees to discuss the process.

Just submitted my app. Hoping for the best!

@SeditiousLibel what region are you in?

@supercilious Dallas/Fort Worth

Submitted my application today.
International Nominee from Pakistan here.

@SeditiousLibel @latitude1126 does anyone know when interview notifications come out?

@supercilious Between January and February according to their website.

Hey! I’m a nominee from Charlotte, NC! Good luck to you all!!!

@gvtabor @latitude1126 @SeditiousLibel did you guys update UVA on your nomination?

@supercilious I don’t know whether we have to or not.I suppose they’ll consider us automatically?

I havent received anything yet, but their email said we should receive another notification sometime early december that our application has been viewed

@latitude1126 I don’t think the Office of Undergraduate Admission gets a list of Jefferson nominees (thus my Qs about whether or not it’s worth updating UVA on the nomination).

@mtinchicago I got one today stating that my nomination forms have been processed. Is that the email you’re referring to?

ya I believe so, haven’t received that yet.

How will they receive our test scores? Will they ask the undergraduate admissions for them because I didn’t see any place to list them or directions where to send them

@buffalo11 It is a counselor’s responsibility to put test scores

I’m sure the Jeff Scholars have laid out their testing policy in the application or on their website. Please go to the source on stuff like this and don’t just ask a message board.

Please confirm that if you applied ED to another school then you cannot be considered for the Jefferson Scholarship, even if you were nominated by your guidance counselor. It said that in the information when looking to complete the application.

If the Jeff Scholars Foundation provided this in writing, I’m not sure why confirmation is required? Contact them if you need clarification. Remember, the Office of Admission is not involved.

Nominee from Upstate South Carolina here! Good luck to y’all!
