Hey there! New user, longtime lurker on CC – I didn’t see a thread this year so I decided to come out of my shell and make one :))) I applied this year for Global Issues, and am very nervously rn! Any applicants/alums want to share some stats?

Glad to find this thread! My daughter applied for Environment.
Does anyone know when/how they release decisions?
Also, how do the kids access their portal now that the application cycle is closed? There is no longer an “apply” link which brought her to the portal. Thanks!

Sorry to hear you were waitlisted. I am not sure the stats on this, but I can tell you that those selected to NDLS have to respond by April 4th.
I hope you got good news yesterday evening!!
Did your D26 get good news yesterday?
My classmate and I both got waitlisted for Environment…but it’s looking like slim chances of getting off because who would turn down a free program!

I heard the chances of getting of the waiting list are extremely low to none. But it has happened before. I believe those who got waitlisted are like rejection but had nothing to fix in the application. @SaltyForreal did you got accepted?

Sorry to hear you got waitlisted, there is always a small chance of one or two students turning down their spot due to applying to multiple summer programs. Fingers crossed a spot opens up. My D26 was accepted into the RADIANT Leadership Seminar. RADIANT is new and was not an option to choose when applying but it actually suits her academic interests better. The accepted students have started an insta page to get to know each other before the summer if you get off the waiting list here is the link
Hello 
Sorry to ask, but for curiosity. What is RADIANT seminar about?
Thank you
