<p>I applied :) I really hope I get in!</p>
<p>Nobody seems to know how selective it is, though.</p>

Also, what does "Application Amount" mean? My finished application says "$5,000"

</p>
<p>That's the same thing mine says. Probably nothing.</p>
<p>Maybe it means that's how much you'll earn, lol.</p>
<p>lol hopefully
does anyone know how selective this program is?
and does anyone know when you will find out?</p>
<p>hello
jaja i want to know when the decision will be made on who gets to go
anyone know?</p>
<p>Some time in May but possibly before that.</p>
<p>Im really curious and anxious to see how this all works out in the end. I only wish there was more information... for instance it would be great if we had some understanding of the odds we are competing against..</p>
<p>I applied for this. Ugh, it's kind of frustrating that they have limited information concerning this program. Good luck to you guys.</p>
<p>do you guys know how many people actually apply for this program
or how many people from a specific market apply?
i'm kinda nervous because my market is my state's capitol - aka kind of big, so i think i'll have to compete against a lot of people.
but I have no idea how competitive this program is.
has anyone heard anything back yet?</p>
<p>a couple of years ago i think the decisions came out late april or early may.</p>
<p>i applied under atlanta, ga</p>
<p>i heard that decisions are coming out may 22nd (my graduation date) what a great present it would be, lol</p>
<p>how many people usually apply to these things?</p>
<p>what do you mean by the 500 stipend? only 500 for the entire program?</p>
<p>only 5 people! i applied under new york city! this is craptastic!</p>
<p>do they all notify on may 22, or does it vary?</p>
<p>Do you mean only 5 people were accepted? how do you know? </p>
<p>I applied from the sf branch. i just found out i won't be able to do the internship i applied for as my backup, so i'm desperate to get this.</p>
<p>They said that notifications will be coming out no later than May 22nd; so I'm guessing that doesn't necessarily mean they'll be coming ON May 22nd. Maybe sooner? Hopefully. And yes, only 5 people are accepted from each region. It states that on the site.</p>
<p>So on my login it does say "Application Amount - $5,000".</p>
<p>...does this mean I've been accepted? Just wishful thinking perhaps.</p>
<p>kittastic_neko- My application says that too (I applied Orange County, California) but I have not idea what it means. Hopefully it does mean we've been accepted, haha. I really want to get this internship, but honestly, I need to know the results ASAP, because if this doesn't work out I need to go to plan B. :)</p>
<p>So.... Would each city/county be considered a region or do you suppose they lump several close cities to make a region?? They have a market list on the web, does anyone know if each market area is consedered a region? The photo of last years group seems to include a large bunch of kids.</p>
<p>My D applied for this and like all of you guys wants to plan her summer. A student from D's school did this last year and said of all his volunteer/community activities he thought this was his best experience. He has over 2000 hours so that's saying a lot.</p>
<p>Just curious...does everyone's application say "Application Amount - $5,000"?</p>
<p>I think so, JustAMom. Mine says it too.</p>
