Have you (or anyone else) gotten country fair webinar emails?? I know it’s only Feb 4 but considering they said we’d get them ‘by early-February’… ahhhh this isn’t even finalist acceptances and I’m freaking out
finally booked my nsliy interview! I’ve already so nervous :,<
definitely gonna be excessively stressing and rehearsing in my head till then haha
Congrats! I hope it goes well for you! Haha yeah I rehearsed in my head quite a bit… helped me mentally but in all honesty I didn’t really get any of the questions I rehearsed (which tbh is better cuz that would’ve made all my answers sound rehearsed and insincere). You’ve got this!
Hello! I’m also a CIEE CBYX semifinalist. I haven’t yet spoken to any other semifinalists. Have you already done your selection event? I have the same questions as you, haha. Hopefully, they release more details as the specific events happen. Good luck and I hope you receive great news come March!
I haven’t either, that’s actually the reason I opened up the forum
OMG YES HI! I have done my interview, have you?
WOW… They really waited awhile before sending you an interview invite
thanks so much! It went pretty well and I was a lot less nervous than I expected to be! the questions you gave helped me feel a lot more prepared, so thanks again for that!! the hardest part is coming up though – the wait i’ve estimated 44 days
I know, right? I finished my application mid-november! I was so relieved to finally be done with the process when I finished the interview. If I don’t get in this year I’m planning to apply again, but I’m dreading it!
If I don’t get any programs this year, then I’ll apply for NSLI summer… I’m so excited yet nervous about March. The group chat I’m in for CBYX is going to go insane in March. I’ve never felt so invested in the month of March
YAY! I’m glad you felt like it went well (trust me, you probably did great because we’re our toughest critic). It sounds like you believe acceptances for NSLI will come out March 27, which is honestly a really good guess (when cross referencing with past acceptance release dates). Just think of acceptances coming out next month so that it doesn’t feel so far away. Also remember that from now to end of March is less time than you had to wait for your semi finalist interview!
Hi again!! I havent done my CBYX interview yet- its later this month! I also don’t know how to use this site, haha, as I see I’m on the wrong forum. I’m definitely a bit nervous, as CBYX was the only program I applied to. Do you have any tips for my interview/group interview? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!
Hi! Would love to discuss this more with you through WhatsApp… I can connect you with us Atlanta people! Unfortunately, the only advice I can give y’all is be yourself (Katie swore us to secrecy about how the interview works. (Can’t tell discuss with others who have not done their interview yet. She wants to make sure everyone has an even playing field). If you click my profile photo, you can hit the message button, which will take you to private DM. There you can share your WhatsApp and I can connect you!
Lollll that’s funny. So I still haven’t gotten the webinar email; I looked at past threads and apparently they’ve come out a little late in other years too so it’s not just us thank God lol. I’m thinking if they don’t come out in another week or so, I’ll email them and ask about it.
Awesome! I’m glad the questions helped. Yeahhh The Wait… it’s rough but we’ve made it pretty much exactly two months since sf notifs came out, we’re almost there!!!
Sounds good! Unfortunately, CC has “trust levels,” which I have not gained yet, but once I eventually do I will be able to DM you! I’ll keep this bookmarked. Thanks so much!
aww, that’s so nice of you to say! and it’s a good idea to think of my email coming next month so I don’t go insane lol. CIEE CBYX comes out a bit earlier, right? lucky duck
huh, that’s interesting, I didn’t know there are trust levels
Yeah, results come out around March 15 (we were told mid march)! So in almost exactly a month
Okay good! I didn’t know the email comes out late some years! SO glad it’s not just us
