<p>Hey guys, I just heard back from them, and got rejected, so they might be processing the applications already.</p>
<p>I also just got rejected!?!?!?! Is this some sort of joke? Notifications aren’t supposed to start for another week, they never process apps early!</p>
<p>yep, rejected… 
wow. I didn’t even get the initial email that said they received my app.</p>
<p>I got the rejection e-mail too, guys. Oh well! I’ll try again next year!</p>
<p>And who knows! It could be a glitch! Nonetheless, good luck to everyone else! I wish you all nothing but the best! :)</p>
<p>I got rejected as well… well, i’m going to build a better resume before I reapply again! Best of luck to the rest of you</p>
<p>Wow I don’t even know what to say, I’m shocked that they have already sent out rejections. Did the emails start going out today ?</p>
<p>Hey guys… I got a rejection letter as well. It broke my heart. I guess a lot of people applied and they were really looking for cream of the crop.</p>
<p>Yeah I just got a rejection email… pretty bummed. I am curious though to hear from people who got accepted.</p>
<p>This is actually really interesting… So many rejections… I haven’t heard a single person say they weren’t rejected, and I know quite a few people who applied. Well, if you did get passed, please post! Haha.</p>
<p>you can always renew your application right away for the fall of 2012. I have already took the liberty to do just that. It was a fun experience though. I’ve learned so much about policy by researching domestic policies for my essays.</p>
<p>Hey All, </p>
<p>Sorry to hear about the rejections, but I really encourage everyone to reapply. I had to apply twice to a state department program before I got it, don’t be discouraged!</p>
<p>Has anyone gotten an acceptance letter. Please do respond. :)</p>
<p>Wait – rejection emails went out yesterday?? I don’t think I got any kind of email… DId anybody get any other type of email? Thanks.</p>
<p>I didn’t get any type of email either…</p>
<p>yeah. i haven’t got anything either…</p>
<p>i’m staying optimistic - maybe they’re still reviewing our apps?</p>
<p>I haven’t gotten an email or a call yet, but I did get the confirmation email back in January. Maybe they’re sorting through applications alphabetically… my last name starts with L. </p>
<p>Did anyone get a phone interview?</p>
<p>Ok, so far four of us haven’t been rejected (Chasel, Bannanez, Willardwonka, and I. Nala did you get rejected? I hope not). I spent today reading over the thread and it looks like they started the process earlier this year. Which means by March 1st people should have had phone interviews depending on the department they applied to and some people should have received conditional acceptances. That being said, last year they stretched the process out until April for some candidates, so, over the next two months, lets remember to be respectful and patient with one another. I would hate to see the forum devolve (as it did in years past) when things got hectic. Good Luck to everyone!</p>
<p>Whdenver85 I haven’t heard anything either… except for the initial email they sent out back in January. I’m praying that we all hear good news sometime soon…good luck to all and keep the optimism. I love the support and words of encouragement on this thread :)</p>
<p>Hi guys, just found this forum and haven’t heard anything back either. Phone interviews will probably start rolling in next week for many, or they may just flat out accept you</p>
<p>Have been lurking a long time. I enjoy reading through everyone’s thoughts! I haven’t gotten a rejection e-mail either.</p>
