@NerdTron I think the selection process is actually opposite of a random draw (they look at every application very closely), so the person who basically wore pajamas must of had a stellar application and interview for them to overlook his lack of professional clothes.
Even with that said, since there are so many applicants some years, I’m sure they are forced to make very hard decisions with who they select as finalists.
@jkrxqzl I still haven’t heard back either, my interview was feb. 25. Fingers crossed for you too. 
Our group was told they shuffled the cards and drew. Seems disrespectful to show up now dressed like you don’t care. Still, I think you had to meet a certain criteria, but among those that met the criteria, think it was a draw. Congrats to all who made it, better luck next time to those that didn’t.
I am from Portland, Oregon and still haven’t heard back. My interview was also on the 25th
@WeirdAl That’s what I was told too. I heard that they hand choose the alternates though.
Western New York, and no news yet. Interview early Feb.
@xXJotaroKujoXx I’m also AFS, none of the AFS people in our group chat have heard anything yet. Fingers crossed that it’s coming soon!
Same! I’m so anxious to find out
I’m through AFS too. I had my interview February 4 and I haven’t heard anything. Could I join the AFS group chat so that I could talk to people in our region?
Do they call the alternates, or email them?
@germaniscool were you at Kelso?
Are they actually notifying people today? I’m kind of afraid of them taking Sunday off.
@abigailwatson me too!! In livingston??
Anyone who hasn’t been added to the CBYX group message and wants to be, can you DM me your handle? You can find it by going to your profile and it will say ‘facebook dot com /[handle]’
[Sorry for the repeat messages] @screenname8 Not sure about your region but for AFS, I was emailed about my interview on a Sunday (Christmas to be exact)
Yeah!
@germaniscool oh cool! I was there too
@gdb5253 Yeah! Were you?
Sorry, my internet was slow and i didn’t see your reply
@Fangirl1999 No mine was in Harrisburg. How many people were at your event? There were about ten at mine.
