<p>has anyone heard back yet? when are finalists announced?</p>
<p>yes it was posted on the website 2 days ago, its down now for some reason?</p>
<p>Was the list supposed to go up? Do you think it might just have been a mistake? Did they notify any of the Finalists yet by e-mail?</p>
<p>I don't know any of the answers. All I know is that my D was on the list on Thursday. Then Friday a message was given that you couldn't access it at that time. We haven't received an email. I hope it wasn't a mistake. It would be very disappointing to see her name there and come back and it be gone. </p>
<p>I feel that perhaps they were working on the site and took it off until they could email everyone. There were 251 finalists.</p>
<p>It was weird because on thursday I also checked the site on a whim, maybe had a weird feeling something was posted (out of boredom as well) and it said "Congratulations, Finalist..." and then I had to fill out some stuff about airplane/airport accommodations and had to print out some medical release and liability forms. I came in to school the next day and my principal ran up to me (literally) and congratulated me. I thought it was weird b/c had I not checked the night before, that would have been the FIRST time I would have known, and how he found out - beats me. But I'm assuming it will be back on. And 251? lol whose that one person who they felt bad for! hope it wasnt me lol</p>
<p>yea im still pretty shocked.. i so don't deserve this</p>
<p>i think i got it too</p>
<p>Okay yall. I have the scoop. The information was never meant to be on the internet. They sent the letters out today. If you saw the information on the internet, the Scholars Weekend is April 7-9th, not the 14-16th as was stated.</p>
<p>so is the information correct? are we still finalists?</p>
<p>if your name was on the list online, then you will still be a finalist. but the official notifications are in the mail and we should be getting them shortly. the actual event takes place from april 6-9 in atlanta (thursday to sunday) and is ONLY the scholars, no parents/family members invited (that was a surprise to me). hope to see some of you there.</p>
<p>hope to see you all in Atlanta too! :)</p>
