[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DD was her school’s nominee. First in her class, etc. It IS a lot of work but well worth it - especially the last of the last two rounds of interviews. Didn’t make the finals cut. I don’t know why this wasn’t mentioned above but the Jefferson was started by alumni interested in funding scholarships to students who would otherwise go Ivy or top SLAC, and, indeed, in DD’s experience, most of the Jef Soc scholars in her four years [b]hailed from elite New York and New Jersey privates[/b] and we’re indeed were students of that caliber. Nevertheless, worth doing. DD was white, unhooked from a NOVA private.[/quote]

Here's the list of current 1st year Jeffs -- pretty geographically diverse
