thank you 
@yadav2 yes he asked me if I was transfer and he verified spelling of my name, put me on hold and then came
back and said that yes, I had made it to semi-finalist list but was not selected as a finalist.
@AGoodFloridian thanks so much. I did win a merit scholarship to study abroad in Italy for 2 weeks. We touch
down in Rome on my birthday, too. So I will concentrate on that and also, remember when I said U Wisc Mad closed
my application because they did not receive transcripts by deadline? Well, I emailed them and updated my account
reopened my file and told me that my application is now complete! I’m beyond disappointed no doubt but for a 48 yr old who has been out of school for 30 years, I have accomplished so much these 2 years that I would have never dreamed
of accomplishing at this age. I thought I had missed the boat, glad I didn’t - good luck you guys
bad news guys they chose the finalist
they haven’t selected the awardes
sorry guys I just called them again
@LeonardoRuales Huh???
So if we call and ask the foundation will they tell us our status?
@CAALMZ_01 Potentially. They have some of the finalists selected, but they also still have some under review. You can call 800-941-3300, to find out your status.
When will emails be sent out?
I don’t know if I have the strength to even call
@CAALMZ_01 The rep said probably end of next week.
Omg I just called my schools representative and she said finalists will me announced on APRIL 10th !!!
So guys they selected the finalist which means there is still another part of the process. They are going to select in a month or so
I just called. They said that there are no status updates yet.
They said to call back if I haven’t heard anything by the end of the month. They didn’t even ask me my name.
Ok, this whole terminology thing is getting a little too extra rn :))
@AGoodFloridian 100% - I think we’re spiraling.
My rep just called them and they told her that my application is under-review.
@LeonardoRuales What do you mean?
@yadav2 I had the same chat. They said next week. I havent heard about anything happening in a month or so.
That they still have to select the winners. They will select in a month or so
