Yes, but individuals received emails regarding their status on April 16th if you look at last year’s thread. @Konohakatu
@amylen143 yeah senators/semifinalists and finalists but not the people who were not either
@Konohakatu Oh, my bad. I was just confused since a mother on this year’s thread said her daughter received an email in April that she wasn’t a finalist or senator.
Does that mean that if we didn’t get any ranking, we won’t be notified until late May?
I don’t think so, because a parent said her daughter received the notice that she didn’t get any ranking in late April, so hopefully we still hear! @Yonkou
anyone hear anything yet??
@silentlasagna70 Still nothing. At least we know for sure that we have at most a month left now, though.
Same here! Hoping for the best!! 
I haven’t heard anything yet, hopefully soon.
still haven’t heard anything either
Has anyone’s recommenders been called?
No hadn’t heard from recommenders . How about you ?
I don’t believe that my recommenders have been called.
No, but heard acquaintance’s did. Wondering if that’s an indication of anything; if more have been, might be sign that no senator for me : (
@Camerafan when did your friend hear back
also are our recommenders contacted if we have been selected as senator/finalist?
No idea. She just said her recommenders were called.
@silentlasagna70, I don’t think so. One of my friends was a senator last year and she never mentioned anything about that.
I also feel that the foundation would have said something about that in the application
Could it be that finalists or a smaller pool than senators are getting vetted?
