@spicymustard wow that is such an amazing tip, thank you so much! That will really save a lot of people a lot of money !!
@spicymustard thanks for the tip! I’m gonna test it out ?
@spicymustard i also see that you’re on the Eli Whitney thread!!! I’m excited about that as well. Good luck to you!
Anyone else also received an email yesterday asking to schedule for an interview?
I received the interview email this morning. Does anyone know what we should expect for the interview? Or what kind of questions they might ask?
I received the interview email an hour ago, not sure what the interview consists of
@ml94ml I don’t know either. Just as curious. Went through the previous years’ trends to see if anyone talked about anything of such but didn’t see any.
@ml94ml @Philippekaa @kb199977
I have been talking to a recipient last year who told me that the interview is very nice and low-stress. She said they asked her about school choice, individual needs, educational and career plans. Overall, she said it was a good experience and didn’t feel like a high pressure job interview or anything.
I haven’t gotten an interview request, and it looks like they’re coming out in short-term waves. I also have my school e-mail to contend with so I’ll do my weekly call to the IT department tomorrow to see if anything has been quarantined.
Did they give you a deadline to schedule your interviews?
Congrats, all! This is amazing news and further proof of how wonderful you all are. I can’t wait to hear how everyone does!!
Yes! @iggywiggly The interview period is from March 2 to March 20 from the email I got.
@Philippekaa thanks! I’m really hoping that not getting the interview email yet is indicative that they’re coming out in waves, not that I have been cut. Trying to keep hopes up!
I’m so proud of you regardless. Chatting with you on the Facebook page and on here, I can tell that you are going places and I really want to let you know that you are super impressive! Best of luck.
For those who got the interview email do you mind posting your general area? West coast, east coast near a major metropolitan area etc. I’m just curious if they are starting with high density areas(with plenty of cooke alumni)
Personally I’m in the middle of no where.
@spicymustard I’m also in the middle of nowhere, in the center of the country, no email yet.
@spicymustard I’m in California and I got the email yesterday around 11 am PT
I’m in Northern Virginia. Got my email around 2pm
@iggywiggly thanks so much for the support and kind words. Really means a lot. Can’t wait to see what we’re all going to accomplish together.
Hi all! I got the interview email 5 minutes ago. They seem to be doing them in waves! Yay!
@iggywiggly yup, congrats. There will be a couple more waves coming so for those who have not received just hang on.
I recieved an email for an interview!! Hurrah!! I’m in the midwest if anyone was curious about geographical location.
Congratulations to everyone who made it this far. You’re honestly already a Cooke scholar.
I havent heard from them, but I’m curious to see how it goes and will be cheering for yall.
@Ltkmk Thank you. Your kind words of support demonstrate your strong character, and I’m thankful. I know that there are a limited number of scholars that can be selected, but I want everyone involved on this thread so far to be named a scholar. I couldn’t ask to share this experience with a better group of people, and I feel honored just to share this space with you.
As I have mentioned before, it takes until April for a reason. No one is out; as of now, we are all just semifinalists and we are in this together. To anyone else reading this, semifinalist or not, please let me celebrate any accomplishments or acceptances to schools by posting them here or messaging me. You are all inspiring, amazing individuals and society needs each and every one of you.
