The finalist should be notified anytime in the next few days. Last year they were notified on Thursday January 9. Hopeful for my son to get invited. Please post if you get notified.

What would the emailed say if we were notified?
Was this the same application as honors? and would it show in our honors portal if so?
I am not sure of the notification message content. From reviewing previous year’s CC threads, notifications were received via US mail through the year 2019 around 1/11 or 1/12. Last year (Jan 2020) the finalists appeared to have received notifications via email. Only about 36 kids normally make it to the finalist round so its a long shot.
Good luck to all of you awaiting notice/invitations!
Has anyone heard anything?
Not yet, maybe tonight?
I haven’t gotten anything yet
My daughter got an email notification at 9:30 PM last night. It was in her email’s Promotions folder. If you go to Honors Application Supplemental Materials section, it will have a place for you to enter your headshot for the National Scholars Program. The email said there are 35 finalists invited for a two-day virtual event on February 26-27.
Congratulations !!
Congratulations to you and your daughter! Also, thanks for letting us know the notifications are out.
I was notified that I was a Finalist a couple weeks ago, got a box in the mail with some (kinda pathetic lol) swag last week, and attended the first ask-questions Zoom Monday evening. I think there will be another Zoom more specifically about the Weekend later this month, and then the Weekend itself is the 26th-27th. For the Weekend, I had to submit a photo, an RSVP form, and an (optional) form to watch a class.
Good luck to everyone who is interviewing this weekend!

Thank you! It felt a little rougher than some of my other interviews lately but I think overall decent. This year though they’re only selecting 8 (my understanding is it’s typically around 10?) out of 35 finalists, so actual selection will be super tough
Have either of the finalists heard anything?
I did, via UPS on Friday, and didn’t get it, seems like other people are still getting their mailers though
I am sorry to hear that you were not selected, but congratulations on being selected as a finalist. It’s such an honor! Do you have any idea where you will be attending school in the fall?

Thank you. And nope not yet! The next 2-3ish weeks should narrow everything down pretty decisively though
