It does. If you look on the homepage of the nsli-y website and scroll down to where it has language and programs, and then scroll a little past that to where to says where the programs take places it says:
The locations listed above are expected to host NSLI-Y programs in 2018, if conditions allow. The 2017 Turkish programs have been suspended, but will resume in 2018 if conditions permit. All program locations are subject to change.
That doesn’t confirm anything except that it was suspended in 2017. That was there before 2018 applications were open. Nothing has updated since then.
Has anyone got any Russian summer notifications lately? I’m starting to think I’m not going to get one /:
No response over here either. Perhaps there is hope for a second choice?
Did people get Arabic summer notifications today?
On the FB Ask NSLI Alumni group, person posted about getting Arabic alternate notification today. I haven’t heard of anyone else getting Arabic notification of any kind.
I got my notification at 3:38! I’m going to Rabat with iEARN!
Congratulations, Rednib! Was that eastern time or central?
Thank you! Eastern time.
Has anyone heard anything about Bahasa? It’s hard to predict when the finalist notifications are gonna be released for it since it’s new this year.
I got my finalist notification for Amman at 3:54 central time
My daughter got her Arabic notification for Rabat, Morocco at 4:14 Central time.
I got in too! we should talk
There is, in fact, an Amideast group chat on Facebook! We are currently having trouble finding everyone, too. It’s accessible through the Ask NSLI-Y Alumni group.
In the Ask NSLI-Y Alumni group, there is an Amman, American Councils GC if anyone wants to join.
Note you can just put down one language and not have a second choice and still make Finalist. My kid put down only first choice which might have given an impression that he was really focused in learning this particular language.
Did anyone in this chat apply for YES Abroad also?
My daughter got her Amman acceptance (American Councils) on Wed 3/14 around 3:00pm MT
Anybody hearing yet on Chinese summer finalists?
Not yet @chipquesadilla. People are guessing Friday, but I guess we’ll see!
