NSLI-Y 2020-21

Heeey there is a gc for semi-finalists for Korea Summer/AY on facebook made by Catherine Long (If you are not in it yet lol) you can find her post and ask to be put on the gc or you can just message her on facebook messenger

Any Bahasa Indonesia semi-finalists who want to make a group chat?

I put Bahasa Indonesia as my second choice, can you add me?

@lexfri there’s a kkt chat that I know of if you want to join!!! There’s also a facebook messenger one!

@marie02 sweet! could you please add me to the kkt one?? :smile:

im semi finalist for korean summer whos doing group chats on kakaotalk???‍♂️

@rD134340 @lexfri if y’all want to join the group chats I would join the Facebook ‘Ask NSLI-Y Alumni’ group as it has the information for those two gcs as well as a bunch of helpful information for NSLI-Y and help from alum as well :slight_smile:

@marie02 thank you!!

Has anyone ever heard about an applicant who previously completed an AY exchange being accepted to a summer program? I spent the last year on exchange in France through Rotary (so it’s not the same program) and am currently a semi-finalist for Arabic first choice, Chinese second choice. I know on the website it says that they give strong preference to applicants who haven’t lived outside the US for more than six months in the last five years, do I have a chance??

Hey! I am a Korea Summer Alumnus from 2019, so if any of you guys have any questions, don’t afraid to @ me and I’ll try my best to get back to you as soon as I can.

Hey I am a semifinalist for Summer Mandarin 2020 and I wanted to ask you a few questions about your experience in Taiwan, and do you know if there are any Chinese NSLIY group chats?

If you join the NSLIY facebook, there are plenty of group chats through WeChat and Instagram.

Yeah! How do I contact you?

Yeah

Anyone get an email about interviews yet?

@SCthulhu nope haven’t gotten an interview oh and my insta is @jadahhays

@SCthulhu I just had my interview today

@Prisoner9430 OMG how did it go???

Hi!!
I’m Lina and I have my interview for Arabic 2020 Summer in one week. I just wanted to know if anybody else applied for the same thing or if you guys have any tips for the interview.

Chinese Summer semifinalist here, haven’t been contacted for an interview yet :frowning: I think it’s because there’s nobody in my area to conduct an interview, since my friend who’s a semifinalist as well hasn’t been contacted either, and someone I know who went last year said she had to drive 2 hours away for her interview. The email says not to contact NSLI-Y about it until the 20th, but it’s really bugging me. Oh well.

Good luck to all of you guys!
