[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous[b]]That’s crazy that it’s a separate pr[/b]ocess. The other schools I’m familiar with offer finalist status with acceptance. Maybe the Jefferson scholars pool is larger. [/quote]

It's not crazy if you understand how it came to be.  It was started solely by alums who wanted to give these very generous scholarships in order to lure to UVA students that otherwise might go Ivy.  My DS got his school nomination and made it to regionals but not to the finals, which are actually done at UVA.  A friend of his (same church) did get it, though.  By the way, your high school has to be a "nominating school" which requires paperwork to be filed.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jefferson_Scholarship

The real craziness (which has happened) is when a Jefferson Scholar does not get admitted to UVA[/quote]

Previous post ended up without the quote.  Weird.

Anyway, again doesn't happen. As someone who part of this process, a Jeff Scholar will be admitted into UVa.[/quote]
