Jefferson Scholars 2020-21

That’s odd, because my school is definitely in an established region (my guidance counselor explained the region we’re part of to me when he nominated me, and past Jefferson Scholarship nominees from my school have had regional interviews).

My interview is Saturday. Thank you all - looking forward to it!

Maybe Covid is affecting the process–I assume all interviews are virtual

Has anyone in the Jeffersons at-large competition heard back about their status yet?

Thank you!!

No, but DS was admitted, yay! :smiley: @chrysalism let us know about your interview today!

My daughter had her interview last week and found out today that she was chosen to move on to next stage. For anyone who has moved on, how different is the next round of interviews from the initial one in terms of type of questions asked?

Is there a date by which all finalists will be named? For those of you who have heard, when and how are they doing the finalist weekend this year? Will it all be virtual?

Congratulations!

Hey all! Has anyone in the at-large nomination competition heard back from Jeffersons yet?

My school isn’t eligible to nominate students, so I’m currently hoping to hear about a referral from admissions… :slight_smile:

My son hoping the same thing but nothing yet. Maybe @Dean_J knows. I think the at-large candidates move straight to being finalists but am not certain.

I just had my interview and they said that the finalist interviews will be virtual on March 12th.

Were you referred by admissions or nominated by your school?

I was nominated by my school.

Hey guys! Just got notified that I was named a finalist! Honestly very surprised- I blanked when I was asked my favorite author and said R. L. Stine! Super excited for the last interview :slight_smile:

Hey all! Has anyone in the at-large nomination competition still heard back from Jeffersons yet?

My school isn’t eligible to nominate students, so I’m currently hoping to hear about a referral from admissions… :slight_smile:
