Did they mention any changes to the program? I’m a China AY semifinalist and I’m just curious to see what they said in the email. Congrats btw!!!
As of right now they said they plan to go forward with the program normally. However, there may be delays or it might even be cancelled. I’m worried as CBYX (another program run by the U.S. government) has already been cut back to a semester program.
Got into Arabic Summer Virtual!!!
Got into Arabic Summer too!! So so happy!!!
i got into korean virtual summer!!! congrats to all virtual summer and AY finalist!!!
@laranour We should start a group chat for Arabic Summer. What’s best for you Snapchat, Whatsapp, or GroupMe?
So it’s been an hour or so and I still haven’t gotten anything. Is it safe to assume I was rejected?
China AY Finalist here! I’m so excited! The email said that I would be going to Taiwan (unless the program is canceled or delayed, etc.).
@Quinnhall12 I would love to! Snapchat is awesome for me. Username: laranour.w
So I’ve still got absolutely zero updates and no emails. Should I email NSLI-Y or wait it out? Have results for any individual ever come out super late?
@umb2021 heyyy! just wait it out, everyone will know of their status my Thursday. Remember, you can’t assume anything with NSLI-Y until you’ve gotten the actual acceptance or rejection letter. Good luck, I’m hoping for you!
@umb2021 I haven’t received anything either. I emailed just to ask them to confirm my status, but I had also emailed them last week to ask when we would know about our status and they said that they aren’t planning to notify those who aren’t selected (which seems kind of rude). But I would email them just to make sure!
They seriously said that? That is kind of rude. I just sent an email per your suggestion but at the same time, I emailed them earlier as well and they said that we would know within the next 2-3 weeks and that we could ask for clarification on our status. I’m not sure why they wouldn’t send out rejection emails at the very least.
@umb2021 Yeah I know right I was a little surprised. Their exact words were “We don’t intend on reaching out to candidates who aren’t receiving the invitation, as they have already received notification that the overseas program was cancelled.”
Update: officially rejected for the second time in a row (although this time as a finalist). I’m not as upset as I would be if the program was still like actual immersion but still hurts ig. Third time’s the charm?
Don’t give up @umb2021! Persistence is the name of the game!
Does anyone have any idea how many applicants to NSLI-Y there were this cycle - for 20-21? I think last year there were over 3300. Thanks!
Family member just got off the alternate list for AY Mandarin Chengdu, has two weeks to decide.
Hi all! Are there any other Taiwan AY (Taipei or Kaohsiung) people on here?
