Has anyone else from ASSE not get any calls or emails yet (As of noon, 3/22)? A lot of others seem to have – I’m sweating buckets over here!!
@alkalinex I haven’t gotten a call as well. Do you know if just people that have gotten accepted have heard back or is it also people that have been rejected? FYI I’m from ASSE in Northern California
I hope the ones who were accepted haven’t been called yet, lol!!! While I don’t know about those who got accepted, but one of the applicants I met at my interview said she was rejected yesterday, so maybe. Also, I‘m from Washington State 
How many applied in CIEE region?
Excited to say that I was chosen as an alternate!! I suppose that must have been why I didn’t get a call. Now, follow up question: does anyone know when they’ll tell the alternates if they’ve been selected or not? I know it all depends on whether or not another finalist has turned down their opportunity, but is there at least a “cutoff date” or something of the sorts? I do believe they mentioned at my interview that many of the alternates do, in fact, get to go on, but I don’t want to be counting my eggs before they hatch, y’know?
@alkalinex Hello fellow alternate! I’m from the FLAG region and according to who I talked to, most alternates should know whether or not they are going to Germany by mid July but there is no solid cutoff date. They can tell us if we have been selected from now until the day we leave for Germany.
Hello! I’m applying from the yfu area and have been in the dark since January, not a call or email about me being excepted or not accepted. Anyone else here from yfu?
Also I was the only person at my interview lol. A volunteer from yfu met me in my home town to do the interview. I thought it would be a group interview but I guess not.
Hey! I’m also from yfu and yeah I had an interview in January and have not heard since. And the volunteer also came to meet me. I’m pretty sure yfu is usually the last to hear back :(((
You all should join the facebook CBYX 2018-2019 participant group and group chat; YFU is the only region that has not received results besides vocational.
CBYX 2018-2019 Applicants*
I’m also a YFU applicant waiting on word back from them, only communication I’ve had with them in the past several months is that they’ve received documents from me.
Have any alternates gotten the confirmation to go abroad yet? Still waiting here 
If so, did you receive the news via email or phone call?
@alkalinex I haven’t heard anything back yet regarding my alternate status, but I think that a few alternates in the FLAG region have been promoted to scholarship recipient already.
…Anyone have any news yet?
I have a feeling that if I haven’t gotten an email yet, I probably won’t be selected as alternate this year around, but just out of curiosity, did any of the other alternates on this thread get a call/email back? My interviewer told me that nearly all alternates get it, so it baffles me that no news has come to either me or any of my other contacts. Also, will CBYX tell us when they are no longer accepting alternates? I hate having to hold my breath like this 
Hey, I’m working on my host family letter, and me not being that much of a writer, I don’t know what to put. What are good examples of stuff to put?
also, when doing teacher recommendations, would it be better to use core teachers or does it not matter?
@jolid496 I would definitely use core teachers
(wrong year chat whoops)
