<p>Havefaithandlove,
They only said emails! Snail mail is still happening. Lets keep our fingers crossed!=D</p>
<p>this just made me so incredibly sad. </p>
<p>could it be possible that some were not sent an email and we could still receive the letter in the mail saying we are Finalists??</p>
<p>You never know, maybe that’s our case. Have hope</p>
<p>I hate being the one having to break the bad news. I just know a lot of you guys are stressing out worrying about this, so I thought it would be fair to share with you what she told me. There’s still many opprotunites, everyone. Don’t lose hope. When one door closes, another one opens. Stay positive!.. && yes, there is a possibility that some got the mail and not the email. I heard that kinda’ happened last year. So there’s still hope. Congratulations to all the fellow finalist. We are incredibly fortunate. God bless <3</p>
<p>One of my friends just got her letter yesterday, so don’t fret.</p>
<p>It’s even on the website that they will notify the entire month of March and when my other friend who also applied called, they said they weren’t finished notifying yet and it will probably take the entire month of March.</p>
<p>yayayayay :)</p>
<p>let’s stay optimistic! everything will be fine…
i still have hope.</p>
<p>regardless we are all going off to great universities leading to successful careers!</p>
<p>I have been notified. I am an asian living in dallas</p>
<p>Were you notified just right now??</p>
<p>everyone’s been notified?</p>
<p>Nah, everyone has not been notified. They do not send out rejections til the end of the month. There is still time. No worries. Plus what is it the 4th-5th day? They didn’t get all the thousand finalists notifications out unless they are really quick!</p>
<p>Just got my official letter in the mail. Sending everything off tomorrow. It’s a normal sized envelope, guys. So don’t freak out if you get a normal sized one in the mail. They’re all the same size :)</p>
<p>hey guys those of u that have been notified through mail…not e-mail…when u call did it say the 0-5 thing?</p>
<p>Dtakeda92: were you notified of your finalist status by a letter in the mail box or an email.</p>
<p>lol Gates is serious. I got a finalist email, letter, and a phone call.</p>
<p>I was notified by email first and couple of days later, I got the letter.</p>
