I have not received an email of rejection or an email telling me I made it to semifinalists. I live in Los Angeles, CA
@paymissy You might want to check your spam folder.
I did, still nothing
@paymissy I would check with them on Monday. Do you remember receiving a confirmation that your application went through?
Yes I got the confirmation on May 1st then nothing after that
Just email them. I think decisions are out.
I would contact them asap if you haven’t received any emails yet. I got my semifinalist one Friday at 2:10 pm and I’m from Northern California~
SEMI from NYC! how do they choose the finalists?
I think it’s based on our original application and recommendation @verizonwireless
So are all semi finalist on an equal playing field, and finalist will be selected solely based on the recommendation? Or do they still consider everything else?
Everything is considered.
If someone is not selected as a finalist. Is it worth putting on the commonapp?
Hey, has anyone followed up with their recommender? Mine said she hasn’t gotten the email yet.
My recommender received an email today!
My son’s recommender received the email yesterday.
My son’s recommender has gotten his also. Good luck everyone.
When will they make a decision on finalists?
Does anyone know what the gpa of previous winners are?
