Hey guys! Almost done with my essays and I’m SUPER nervous. Thought I’d start off the discussion so we can help each other out along the way!
Hi @azchen! Basically in the same boat over here.
Hi @KeeperOfKookus! Glad to see that a fellow 2020 applicant is on here as well 
@azchen or anyone else i guess, do you know if the 250 words for the activities are for each activity or total?
Nvm I figured it out I think.
The nerves, they are a-jangling.
Just saw this, sorry. I think so!
How much of a difference do the rec letters make?
@rebeccaaaa I heard from an NJSP grad that they’re actually pretty important, but I’m not 100% sure myself.
Hi! I am also an applicant for NJSP. Does anyone know when we find out about the follow-up? I heard late-February but I am not sure that’s 100% right
@honeylove Yup, late February is when we’ll find out!
Has anyone heard yet ?
Yes, I just got an email today!
As did I!
joining the conversation! I just got an email today, too. Hope to maybe see some of you at the interviews. Does anyone know what they might be asking us?
Follow up question - what do y’all think the chances are that in person interviews are cancelled due to the Coronavirus? I live near Lawrenceville and several schools in the area have already closed because University professors tested positive… and do you think we’ll do a group FaceTime or something instead?
Who’s excited to ZOOM?
As a side note, do you folks think they’re gonna through with the program given coronavirus? People seem to disagree about how long social distancing/lockdown is going to last, and whether it’s going to be totally gone, or just lighten a little, so it’s kinda hard to tell. Curious what you folks think.
I hope they do it! It seems like a really great opportunity for students…plus it’s not until the summer, so I guess we’ll have to see.
@carlytantan interviews are this weekend, so they probably won’t let us know for a while.
did anyone have their interview yet? If so how did it go?
Is everyone else’s interview tomorrow? Based on past years, decisions come out about 1 - 2 weeks after interviews. Hopefully it won’t be too long of a wait, but who knows what’ll happen this year. Good luck to you guys!
