Hey y’all! Created this for anyone applying to CBYX Highschool USA to Germany 2025-2026!
How’s everyone doing on their applications? I’ve done some rough drafts for the essays but still have a TONNNN of work to do…
was anyone at dallas ciee this year? i probably met you!!!
OMG HI! I went to Atlanta!
Ahhh exciting!!! How was it for yall?? I think Denver is this weekend!!
It is! I’m not going to discuss Atlanta though
I get it, Katie swore us to secrecy too but I wanted to know how y’all were feeling haha
Hi yall, I’m a semi finalist YFU
We didnt have any sort of group interview, they were just virtual interviews. Was there any information in the group interview we missed out on?
Hey! I wouldn’t think so, but maybe. PM me with any questions you have!
Anyone have info on when decisions are coming out? I know it’s march but I’m still looking for more info.
Hey! I went to the Denver interviews. They said early-mid march, so not too long! Would you mind telling me how many people were at your event?
I know you didn’t ask me but I’m in a large chat with the semifinalists, there were 59 people at Dallas and 63 at Atlanta!
What’s considered a semi finalist for YFU? Did everybody have an interview?
I am from YFU.
As far as I can tell everyone who met the initial qualifications received an interview. After that, they selected semi finalists.
When I received the semi finalist eamil, if said “Congrats, you have moved on with a selective group.” Or something of the sort, which seems to indicate not every one is a semi finalist. I hope that answered your question.
Thank you!
Oh wow… CIEE knocks off most applicants first round
It’s almost better that way. Waiting until March, April is too much. Difficult to plan your summer and your life.
Agreed…
I agree.
Have any of yall started a blog or such?
I haven’t… have you?
