[quote=Anonymous]My kid (not in NOVA) advanced to the final round of the Jefferson scholarship last year but alas did not make the final cut. There is very good advice on the process on Reddit, so I suggest heading over there (look up a poster named "Posiedendrip"). The whole thing is a lot of work, but the front end application (essays, etc.) may contain bits and pieces that your child can use for other applications. My kid is pretty thoughtful and well spoken, which I think helped out in the interview portion. As you progress further in the process the pressure kind of builds, and the fact that my kid got cut just as they reached the end really sucked at the time. But college admissions are a wild ride and my kid is very happy at a different school now. Good luck to your kid. (Also, I would not put being selected as the school's Jefferson nominee as an honor, because I feel like that's true for all the kids in the scholarship pool.)[/quote]
