2013 College Tournament Questions
I auditioned for the College tournament back in October in Cleveland. In how many major cities were auditions held, and when are callbacks expected to be sent out? Thanks so much.

Re: 2013 College Tournament Questions
not sure this time around, but typically they go to around five or six cities for college callbacks.
and I asked Maggie about when the college tapings might be happening, and she said likely late March-early April, and since the call comes four weeks before taping (almost like clockwork... scary) I'd bet near the end of this month is when they're calling?
good luck! but my advice would be to FORGET about it. live yo life in the meanwhile!
hope that was helpful at all

Re: 2013 College Tournament Questions
Thanks! My written test wasn't terrible and the rest of my audition went okay, although I forgot my luggage on the Megabus and auditioned in an Inspector Spacetime t-shirt. Hopefully that was memorable and didn't kill my chances. Also I had to be prompted once or twice to pick a category and talked a LOT during my interview.
Either way I'm doing what you're suggesting, which is not to overthink it because statistically speaking, I probably won't get on. But I'm still hopeful!

Thanks! Also not sure if anyone knows, but does it matter how many questions you get above the cutoff, or is it just pass/fail?

Re: 2013 College Tournament Questions
No one really *knows*, per se, and I'm sure you heard Glenn/Corina/Maggie say something like the test is the most important factor in getting you on the show, but we all know it's so much more than that. The people who you probably thought were super interesting at the audition may not be the people that necessarily clicked in the producer's heads. There was someone at my audition who basically had every hook I had (biochem major/premed/studying for the MCAT that summer/from Florida) and even at one point said "Like Hans over there..." and I was like, way to cancel us out buddy. But ultimately he didn't.ManceMartell wrote:Thanks! Also not sure if anyone knows, but does it matter how many questions you get above the cutoff, or is it just pass/fail?
Anyway, don't sweat it. I completely forgot about it until one glorious September day when the call came and my life turned upside down. Happy waiting, buddy! Good luck.

Thanks! I would just about have a heart attack if I got that call. I do know they're currently registering people for the next College Championship though, and that online test is in March. So if anyone on here has gotten a callback, please let me know!

Re: 2013 College Tournament Questions
I'm contemplating registering for the College test, but I will be graduating in either December 2013 or May 2014 (commencement isn't until May no matter what) depending on if I want to take summer courses. There's also the question of where to take the test. I live in Chicago so Nashville and Kansas City are roughly equal driving distance. I don't want to go to LA, and I have enough FF miles banked to go to NYC which I'm familiar with navigating their public transit.

Re: 2013 College Tournament Questions
Jeopardy's website says callbacks will be made by March 6, which is the time of the next test. Hopefully registering for it just in case won't disqualify me from this year's competition.
