Anyone able to apply for the 2018 scholarship? I am able to, is that telling?

I wonder what CFAI thinks about all of us that are all of the sudden applying for scholarships and immediately withdrawing. I don’t have any programing or experience running a website, but wouldn’t they notice this frenzy of odd activity on the site and fix the bugs?

…I don’t think they care, given that there is still bugs in their system for a whole year now after what happened last year haha. They collected our $, rest is history

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH i See I see…ok ok cool. I’m on the same page now.

Yeah, I applied and withdrew as well. And I get the same thing you got st00007.

You applied, withdrew, and get the views on the right hand side (ie, no 2nd box or no scholarship links)? When did you apply and was it your first time?

@FromZero - I don’t think there are a bunch of different variations of what is going on? It seems like all of those who have never applied for a scholarship have nothing about scholarships on their page (with the one exception of I guess Mitchell?). Of those who have applied - we all get the “scholarship” links (left hand pictures on the Twitter account). Of those who have withdrawn - it seems some still have the links and some do not (hence, the tell).

If Mitchell is mistaken, then everyone else follows the same path except for some have links after withdrawal and some do not (sign of passing?).

@Mitchell - Apply for the scholarship again and see if you get links on Your Profile and Your Program? Go here first, click the apply link, then log in to get to the form: https://www.cfainstitute.org/programs/cfaprogram/scholarships/Pages/index.aspx

Exactly. This is not my first time. I actually gave it a few tries yesterday. And as well as last year when I failed to do this 1 box 2 box trick. For me, last year was a tell because I did have 2 boxes. So yeah, in summary I think we have the same results. Applied and withdrew. No second box, no scholarship link.

but last year’s tell was not the same boxes that we’re referring to now.

Last year, the boxes were inside the scholarship page. If you passed, you got another box in the scholarship page that said “you are not eligible for an access scholarship”. This year, the boxes we’re referring to are just if you see the scholarship application boxes.

Right, I didn’t get the “you are not eligible for scholarship etc etc etc” note in last year’s tell. And yes, it was in the scholarship page. This year is different.

And yes, this year’s location of the “tell” is different. It’s not in the scholarship application page. I got the same screenshot as the one someone posted here on twitter w/ 1 box and no scholarship application link.

soooo do we basically think this is a tell for people who had previous scholarship applications, since people who had none just didnt have any links at all anyway when they logged in (caveat being that of course this could all be nonsense blah blah)…?

no one knows. One individual above withdrew and saw “access scholarships” applied again a day later and withdrew and didn’t have it. There is no way to know what is happening.

@onlysimon

i have a scholarship saved since july 8. my screen is like markols post.

withdrew it. the link appeared in the ‘your program’ section.

logged out, logged in same.

made a new scholarship, deleted it.all links gone.

[VWJETTY]

So here’s the new update.

When I apply for a scholarship (no withdrawal) I get both boxes and the Scholarship link. However, if I withdrawal (and have no others pending), then i get a 1 box and no scholarship link. Did it twice. Same result.

[accountingnerd]

@danv0330

find 1 person that is “very confident in a pass” and 1 person “very sure of a fail”… and see if they are getting same results

Nominating Flashback for the confident pass

Someone earlier in this thread indicated they were a Band 2 last year and was confident in a fail this year.

I’ve done it twice as well and my 2nd boxes do not go away

[Fjmt]

This is crazy!!! Does it work for level 2???

[FromZero]

So @cfataker3 and @onlysimon you’ve seen it both ways? You’ve applied and withdrawn and still seen two boxes, and applied and withdrawn and just seen one box? @onlysimon in your case it was after applying and withdrawing back to back?

There’s a turn-around. You gotta wait for a little bit. Like 5 minutes. Log out and then login.
