WWDC 2012 Scholarship Thread

[Lenned]

Hey guys, post here if you applied for the student scholarship... i did! :D :apple:

[jackhdev]

Me, too. It said we will be notified by the 11th. Do they send out all of their decisions then or will they send them out as they know?

[Xius]

Make sure you guys post back on this thread when you get find out! I'm looking forward to WWDC 2012...

[themacexpert]

I applied! Hoping to hear some good news in the next few days!

[Lenned]

Night before, so excited... hope to get it, good luck to you all! So what did you put down as apps/projects? I said i have 2 apps in review (Which i do, there still under review) and i have a school project... visit it at twythm.com, its AWESOME! I think there gonna send it out tomorrow! Ill be checking my email all day, GOOD LUCK! :D :apple:

----------

Im not sure what will be in the email, i hope they only send an email to the people who get it because who wants an email that says you didn't get in? I'd rather not get an email.

[tboy29]

I can't wait I am just going to be checking my email every minute. I put down an app that I made and is in the appstore called oScan. I hope it might boost my luck because it uses a lot of core frameworks. What did you guys say about what you wanted to learn about at wwdc?

[jackhdev]

Nice guys! Your projects and apps look really cool! I gave them links to some of my apps including a speedometer, sound recorder, and a game. I also gave them a link to a PDF about the app I am making for my school newspaper. Good luck, can't wait for tomorrow.

I'd prefer an email if you don't get it. That way you can be confident that you didn't lose the email instead of being unsure if you receive nothing.

[troop231]

I applied too :) Good luck to everyone else!

[pestrov]

Can't wait till they tell the results!

[dmklunk]

I applied too! So excited to hear the results!!!! Guess I'll have to hold out till 3:00; I have school today xD
PLEASE post back if anyone gets any email from Apple regarding the scholarship.
Good luck to all!

Derek

[Xius]

BTW you guys, it might not be exactly on the 11th coz' i read a wwdc 2011 post and the guys were saying how it can sometimes be 2-3 days late.... but yea, as soon as you guys find out post here!

[jfisk87]

I applied, no news as of yet.

[Lenned]

Its 1:25 in NY and 10:25 in California, i think they will send it out around 1-2 PST... GOOD LUCK!

[ppilone]

Best of luck to everyone! I'll be heading to WWDC (not on scholarship) and hope you guys get to go too.

[MrGando]

Anyone got it ? :)

[Lenned]

Nothing yet

[tboy29]

Apple I think is just waiting it out to just to make us nervous.

[jackhdev]

Nothing yet

[dmklunk]

Apple I think is just waiting it out to just to make us nervous.

I agree completely lol. Nothing here yet either.

[themacexpert]

Nothing here yet either....I bet they've already made the decisions, they're just keeping us on the edge of our seats :cool:

[jfisk87]

I got it!

[dfmuir]

Looks like they are coming in. Just got accepted! See you guys there.

[tboy29]

What does the email say?

[Xius]

Anyone else got anything?

[jackhdev]

Nothing yet. I changed my email recently. Will they send the email to the address under Developer Personal Profile? If I receive my iTunes Connect messages at my correct address, I assume that's the address they'll use.

[troop231]

I haven't gotten anything yet either.

[jfisk87]

What does the email say?

[dmklunk]

Anybody receive an email saying that you did NOT win? Just curious as i haven't received any email... I would hope Apple would decide to send us emails saying we didn't win as opposed to no email at all.....

[jackhdev]

I'm reading threads from the past about Apple putting people on waiting lists. If you haven't received an email yet, I don't you should worry yet.

[jackhdev]

No one else has gotten a response? Unless the emails are delayed, I find it hard to believe that only two people that go to this site got in.

[dmklunk]

Nothing yet here. Anyone else?

[Wojciech]

Still no information. Have anyone else gotten any message?

[speedyapoc]

I received my message with the student ticket information at around 2:50pm central time. See y'all there! :-)

[Xius]

Oh well, guess thats it. Maybe next time? Cya, Guyz!

[jackhdev]

Oh well. Nobody's been put on a wait list or received any other type of communication?

[Xius]

Yea... Not even a email regarding it... Oh well!

[RohanDev]

Yep still nothing. Any 13 year olds in the house?
Do you think they have all been sent out???

[dmklunk]

I've surrendered to the fact that myself and anyone else that hasn't gotten an email didn't win. Oh well. Maybe next time! Congrats to all the winners!

[RohanDev]

Congrats to the winners! Yeah
But what about the wait list, do you think they will have one?

[Wojciech]

They should have sent an email saying'you didn't win'. :(

[RohanDev]

Agreed cause its making me so nervous, I just want to end it

[troop231]

Is anyone else surprised that they didn't get accepted? :(

[RohanDev]

Yep.... well not surprised but I thought I was pretty capable. Im 13 and Im building cocos2d shooter games... But of course there are other amazing 13 year olds out there
what about the wait lists

[jackhdev]

A friend just texted me and said he got a rejection email from Apple. Hmm... why did he JUST get it (I haven't gotten anything yet)? You would think that with Apple, everything would be sent out at once. So some of the emails must be delayed.

I just got one too. Oh well, guess I'll be trying again next year.

[kingsapo]

Just got a rejection email :(
Oh well, grats to the winners!

[mirkokg]

Me too :(

Congratulations to all the Winners!

[jackhdev]

Anyone still waiting for an email (rejection probably). I still haven't received anything! haha

[Lenned]

Yea same rejection email, congrats to you all!

[troop231]

I got the rejection email too, I would just like to know why I got rejected. I thought I stood a chance at least.

[Xius]

Guys, i get the feeling that Apple was looking for people 15+, coz they are close to getting a job and are more mature in their development experience OR they have made complex apps which are complex to code....
Anyways congratz to those who won and see you guys back to this post 1 year later :)

[Tometoyou]

Can those who got in put a link to their apps so we can see the standard they were expecting?

[Qsplash]

Hey Everyone!

Congradulations to the winners :).

For the winners though, do you guys want to make a group or something so we can arrange a hang-out or get to know each other when it actually rolls around?

Cheers.

I doubt it has to do with age, I'm 22 and still didn't get it.

[dfmuir]

I am open to a meet up. How can we arrange it?

[Xius]

I doubt it has to do with age, I'm 22 and still didn't get it.

Maybe thats why.... im pretty sure it was for people who are 13-17

[troop231]

Maybe thats why.... im pretty sure it was for people who are 13-17

Nope, 13-17 cant attend the WWDC Bash is all.

[jackhdev]

I think it was primarily for high school seniors and people in college. Even though my application was pretty good, I'm 14 (freshman) and didn't get it. Someone in college studying technology should go over me if they really are interested in Apple technology, so I would assume that Apple would choose them.

[Qsplash]

I am open to a meet up. How can we arrange it?

We could share emails before and meet up on location sometime? I'd like to meet the other bright minds haha.

[LagFighter]

Hi all!

I also won the scholarship this year so I'll be headed to San Fran in June!

It may be a good idea to try to organize a meetup of scholarship winners one night, either for dinner or just to hang out with at the conference.

Also, I found this really great guide you might want to check out: http://www.fruitstandsoftware.com/blog/2010/06/wwdc-attendee-guide/

Anyone here planning on checking out Apple Campus while we're there? I feel a need to hit up the Company Store. :)

Hey, I'll make a Facebook group if that works for everyone. Go ahead and PM me your names and I'll get it going for easier communication.

[dfmuir]

I can't seem to do PM's since I am new to the forum. Can you post the link to the group and I will join?

[speedyapoc]

Seconded on this one. Can't communicate via PM due to being a new user.

[iosnerd]

Hey! Not expecting to win, I applied for the WWDC scholarship anyway. Well, my application got accepted and I won the 2012 WWDC student scholarship! For this being my first time at WWDC, I honestly don't know how my week will go.

The only thing that concerns me is what will everyone do at WWDC? I know all the exciting activities and workshops, but will everyone go alone? Or could we all group up or something?

And can't you just post the link to the FB group and make it private? That would be so much easier...

Looking forward to hearing back from y'all!

[idzi]

Hey,

Someone from Europe received a scholarship?

[robkeart]

hey guys i know you are all really big Apple fans and so am I but im doing my thesis on Apple and i have to get loads of responses to my survey by end of the week so if you have a minute, I would really appreciate it thanks in advance! sorry for posting this, but getting desperate!! https://qtrial.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_2mKSvcpfM0jfI0c

[nickplee]

I too got the scholarship... we should definitely meet up!

[Qsplash]

Is someone making a facebook group?

[dfmuir]

Someone had to do it: https://www.facebook.com/groups/271827886248242/

Hey, my name is Chris. You can easily find me on facebook as Chris Galzerano. If you make a facebook group for the scholarship winners, I'd like to be in it, so I can at least find people I sort of know (lol off a forum, but close enough) when at the conference.

[trainyperson]

I unfortunately didn't get the scholarship, along with a lot of others it seems.
I know one of the reasons I wanted to go was so that I could meet other high school developers, coz there aren't that many of us!
So I've made a Facebook group for all iOS developers aged 13-17 and we can discuss and share all things iOS related on there :)

Hi folks; the problem with making the group and posting a link to the thread was that Facebook groups have to be initially formed with at least two people (you and one of your friends), and I didn't have anyone on my friends list to invite. :)

Looks like dfmuir has it taken care of it though, so no worries.

I'm looking forward to meeting many of you soon!

It's all good! I've never really made a Facebook group before, so I wouldn't know!

[ryancohen]

I got accepted to go as well! Hopefully we all can meetup in line on the 11th, the initial start date :)

Hi guys,
Anyone looking for a place to stay during WWDC? I booked 3 beds at SF Downtown hostel, which is only 10mins walk from Moscone West and only ~$30/night, really nice place (I've been there twice). Unfortunately, my friends can't come, hence 2 beds are free, interested?

Also, here's a Facebook group for WWDC 2012 attendees: http://www.facebook.com/groups/412423118779701/

[lenny.khazan]

Sorry for my delayed response, didn't find this forum until now :)

I am 13 and got in! I think that meetups are a great idea, because we can split up and go to different sessions, then share notes after.

I found some beginners guides to WWDC here: http://iphonedevelopment.blogspot.com/2012/05/wwdc-first-timers-guide-2012-edition.html, http://borkwarellc.wordpress.com/2011/03/28/borkwares-first-timers-guide-to-wwdc/

People use SubEthaEdit for collaborative note taking, and if you get the free trial now it will last through WWDC, so you don't have to pay until next year.

If you are organizing a Facebook group for Student Scholarship Winner Meetups, please add me (my name is Lenny Khazan).

I'm staying at Hotel Whitcomb (~6 blocks away).

I would like to get into the Keynote, and I hear you need to get in line really early, so I'm getting up at 4 (Luckily I live on the East Coast, so 3hr time difference makes it 7 my time) :).

I'm 13 and got in.

[paddude]

I'm 13 and got in.

Sorry, I'm late in joining this, but I got in as well, and I am 13.

Has anyone figured out a way to take group notes? I keep hearing that Coda is a great way to do so, but I'm not really sure if anyone has setup a server yet.

[lenny.khazan]

I am using Coda 2 for note taking.

[joemost]

Anyone know if there doing the scholar ship again this year? What kind of apps do you guys have up that got you in? I am just wondering if I am qualified for it..

Thanks

[Junrowson]

Hi, I am Jun, 20 and I'm one of the recipients. this is my submission app http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KYPTiTJwUhM .

My clue is that, Apple always puts design in the first place, tech in second. So, even if you are not experienced in programming or techy, as long as you are presenting urself differently from most of the developers, you might have a big chance. I mean, putting ourself in Apple's staff shoe, there might have thousands or ten of thousands who applied for this scholarship, they will of course judge the app by it's cover and if it's nice, they will only then look through the content.

Well, I mean no offense to those who didnt got it, it's just my experience and opinion from my senior.Honestly, I wasn't quite a techy guy, i have only 1 year experience in Obj-C. For those who won it, congrats, and for those who failed, dont give up! :apple:
