Since they said it would be late February before we hear, I don’t think we should be too worried if they’ve closed access to the portals.
in the email, they said they’ll announce regional finalists in early feb
@jjoojjoo You’re right! i had written in down wrong on my calendar. Early February is even better.
You can see your finalist status on the portal. Good luck!
@univbound101 am logging in, getting authorization failed; are you saying new status is up now? Logging into semimfinalist portal?
Yes, your portal will be updated with new status. Got authorization failed but then tried it again and it worked!
The portal was up at 1:30 a.m. eastern, closed for a few hours and is now open again.
decisions are out right now!
I CANT EVEN BREATHE RN! IM A REGIONAL FINALIST
I guess someone was able to log in? (Congratulations to the RFs!)
I can log in and out but I can only get to “authorization failed” page. What is the trick to getting to the right page?
I would strongly encourage everyone to check their email and click the link to the portal from there…did anyone else on here make RF?
Daughter did not move on. Good luck to all
Yes regional finalist!
Also a regional finalist. Anyone know what to expect for the interview?
@jswani Nope. I’ve been trying to ask past people, but they haven’t responded yet
How are you guys updating colleges with this information?
How did everyone’s interviews go? Does anyone remember when they said final results would be out?
My interview went pretty well besides a few technical issues. Decisions will be out by March 9th-- according to the semifinalist portal, at the end of the Regional Finalist notification.
@ Univbound101
DO you mind what kind of questions were you asked? My daughter’s interview is tomorrow…
@bullishmom They’re still doing interviews? I thought they only had them on the 16/17th. Good luck to your daughter!
As for the questions, mine were pretty straightforward. They asked several things about my essays and recommendations, and asked me about career plans. There weren’t any terribly difficult questions.
