Still nothing for me 
Iād at least like a rejection letter haha
When I called on Friday they said my D18 would receive an email either today ( Friday ) or on Monday.
Has anyone received an email saying they didnāt move forward?
That or does anyoneās Elks portal suggest they didnāt move forward.
Havenāt heard anything in Southern IN yet. Hoping that they send an email even if it says I didnāt advance.
Iām from TN and havenāt received anything yetā¦also some people are saying EFC didnāt matter this round. Why would they ask for it then? Someone posted smt about theirs being 30,000 but ours is quite a bit more than that so I would think maybe they still look at the EFC but just less strictly
So if you havenāt gotten email by today and no portal info, does that mean you didnāt advance I assume?
No update in my Ds portal.
Does anyone know the stats of some people who are advancing?
Again I called on Friday and they said notices would go out on Friday and Monday. After Monday I would think that is likely the case unless say there is a problem somewhere in reporting by certain states. So until late Monday we need to be patient so it seems.
If they are releasing our notices later (Monday) how is it fair that there is a due date for the semi-finalist application on March 10th, 2019 when we are not receiving our notices at the same time? I am from California.
Question is did those who were told they are advancing already get the application packet info for the next stage?
If so is it just a basic update of info are a request for additional stuff including essays and recommendations?
In the email it asks for more information, teacher rec, another essay etc, must be in by 3/10/19.
Thanks Gordy,
Well itās all good getting advanced on Monday too but one would think everyone would get notified at once. Unfortunately when you have every state submitting results I can see how some might have delays.
They said on Friday or Monday. I just hope Monday isnāt just an email Notification of not Advancing.
Has anyone been notified they didnāt advance in this latest round since Friday?
I think itās a dead end for me. I donāt see any changes to my portal and I havenāt gotten an email from the TX chapter yet. Iām just not ready to receive my rejection email tomorrow though lol.
@jn0002 same for my sonā¦and above someone said they heard they were a finalist from our stateā¦ugh!
@ufalum - Donāt lose hope yet, there will be @ 36 finalists from Florida. The email does not come from the state but from the national scholarship service and like others have said, hopefully there will be more finalists announced tomorrow. Good luck!
Sorry, I meant to direct that to @ufalumn1997
@collegefever13 thanks!
@ufalumn1997 we are from Florida and my son received the $4000 scholarship. Notified on Friday. Our EFC is very high. So my son will apply for the top 20 spots but isnt expecting to advance beyond the current stage because of our high income. His stats are 36 on ACT and 1540 SAT. Lots of leadership positions in school and in activities and sports.
@sailcatmom (or anyone else that has advanced), what does your sonās portal look like? Is there a new application listed there or is there just a button that says āFill Out A Supplementā?
