They do it by program not by region.
Russia, Arabic, Turkish, Persian, Korea (summer) and some others have heard. China hasn't.
These are acceptances that is. Rejections are sent out at the end.

musicgeek1995: I don't mean to be annoying, I'm just really worried about this, and I have been trying to find out as much information as I can. Usually when I call, no one is available. So, I just have a couple questions. (It's okay if you don't know all the answers)
1) Have all the acceptances from the countries you named been sent, or is there still a chance that some of them are still on their way from these countries?
2) When you said "and some others have heard", do you know if Hindi already found out, or is the only one left that hasn't heard China?
3) For the acceptances given out already, do you know if they were for people who had the (ABOVE COUNTRIES) listed as their first choice, or any choice at all?
4) And then, by far the most important one, I think, if you (I'm directing it more towards me) haven't heard anything yet, is it most likely because you were rejected from all three programs that you selected? China was my first choice, but if they're only sending out till' mid- April, I don't know, I'm getting skeptical if I made it or not...
Thank you so so much!

Chinese is the most competitive program - both for summer and for year so the odds are not great. No Chinese notifications have been sent out so far. I am waiting, too, because my daughter applied for summer Chinese and my son applied for the Chinese year program. While a few people have gotten their 2nd choice in the past, it is highly unlikely. If you don't get a spot in your 1st choice program, you will initially be given alternate status. Then, after they have given all the finalists opportunities to respond, they will approach alternates. After any remaining spots are taken, they will send out regrets. It is agony, but it should all be settled by the end of April. Hang in there!

Oh my gosh, I'm literally hyperventilating. Good luck everyone (who hasn't heard yet)!

I don't know for sure, but I think my daughter told me that each part of the country has a different company administering NSLIY for the government. No one in Hawaii has heard yet (as far as I know). The company that handles Hawaii is AIS Americancouncils.org. Has anyone who applied through AIS gotten notice? Hopefully, this is a reason that some have not heard back yet...

On the NSLI for Youth website, they are now saying that notifications will be sent until April 20. Ugh!

Apollo6: Is Chinese actually more competive in terms of acceptance rates? I understand more applications for the program are submitted but there are a lot more scholarships offered for Chinese. My child is going on the Russian summer trip. She has the statistics somewhere and the acceptance rate was in the 15-17% ballpark. I can't recall the exact numbers she told me but for some reason 60ish summer scholarships with 480ish applicants is coming to mind. I don't know if those 480 were all people who put Russia as their first choice or Russia as any choice.

Nagela: I'm thinking (well, hoping, at least) that we'll get them by Sunday. :/ Do you have any idea what time they send the emails out? Morning, midday, evening?
