Jack Kent Cooke Undergraduate Transfer Scholarship 2020

Alright guys, 2 more days lol

Now… two days feels like two weeks to me lol

Well, we waited already 20 days LMAOO. So honestly, Its time. At this point, I have gone through so many emotions that my emotions machine is broken lolol

@DasaniH20 That is right, I did not even realize its been 20 days haha

Well, 1 more day till showtime! oh boy, Wednesday is going to be funky

Hey everyone! I thought the date was 4/23, Thursday when we find out. Everyone’s excited for tomorrow so I’m a little confused… :smile:

Hey @FortunateFlorida I completely understand your confusion. This process is highly unpredictable and everyone seems to be hearing something different. In fact. my advisor said they would find out today and let us know. Everything is certainly frustrating right now and like @DasaniH20 said, my emotion machine is also broken lol but let’s try and focus on the things we can control. Unfortunately, receiving an answer from JKC cannot be controlled, no matter how much we want to.

@ayayay55 wow today?
That is nice!
I wish you all the best of lucks!
Do not forget to post in social media if you guys get it! So we all can celebrate with you :slight_smile:

I heard the email is this Wednesday, latest Thursday from what I spoke to from the high school 2020 scholars… and the big surprise is this Friday

Do you guys think they’d surprise transfer scholars in the same exact way they did for college scholars? I mean it wouldn’t really be a surprise anymore because you can pretty much assume that you’re a winner once you get the zoom call email?

I was thinking the same, if you get an email tomorrow or on Thursday. You know you’re a scholars.

However, something makes me believe we’ll have to wait another week as colleges are going to be “encouraged” to surprise their scholars before the press release. In which the scholars would attend a zoom, which would be next friday. OR, every semis would be on a call to trick us, and only 1 group of semis would be the scholars.

I am leaning towards the “we get an email tomorrow or Thursday, and press release on Friday” and "all final round semis will be invited to a zoom call, but there would only be 1 group that will be a scholar. "

Hello all! I’m Vanessa and I’m a semifinalist too, I live in ATL, Georgia. I’ve been stalking this thread for a while now and I just wanted to wish you all the best of luck!

@ayayay55 Any news?

Welcome Vanessa! @vanrodalm . Join the facebook groupchat if you haven’t done so. Also, its good to see that someone from Perimeter College is here. Especially since one of your advisers has tag a lot of semis from your school on twitter to the foundation, and I’ve read all about it lol. So def, a bright group at Perimeter College. I do a have a question, does that mean that as a Perimeter College student, you can take classes at Georgia State University?

Unfortunately no news… ? @DasaniH20. Welcome Vanessa!

@ayayay55 awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww man. Unless your advisor doesn’t want you to know…yet… o.o

@DasaniH20 Definitely!!! Can you possibly link me to that facebook gc? And thank you so much! Also, to answer your question, yes we can take classes at GSU as a transient student but we have to get approved by an advisor!

Making different groups in order to tell them “You’re not the scholars this year, sorry xd” seems kind of harsh lol. I hope they don’t do that. I’d much rather have a press release, and then maybe invite the winners after everyone knows.

@vanrodalm I don’t know that we can post the link here but just search Jack Kent Cooke Semi Finalists 2020 and the group will come up. :slight_smile:

Results are out! I just received notification that I am a Jack Kent Cooke Finalist. Wow… I never imagined I would be typing this. I look forward to joining the rest of our Cohort.

I know everyone is itching for information. This is what I know. Advisors have been notified and it is up to them to decide when and how to tell you.

To be honest I never thought I had a chance…

@spicymustard congrats! So well-deserved!!
