NCWIT Aspirations in Computing Award 2018

^^^^

i know around 3500 people applied for NCWIT, but does anyone know how many people applied per state, or is that info not available? i would just like to know the probability of me doing well at the state-level next year.

Hi everyone! I am new to this thread. I have gotten 0 news about any of the awards… can someone update me on their progress on awards so far
thank you!!

@needtosucceed27 im not sure if that info is available but you can ask your regional affiliate in case they know

@temp0912 I don’t think they release most decisions until February, but it depends on the affiliate. I don’t think I heard from mine last year until March.

Oh okay thank you @equationlover

I am from the Bay Area and haven’t heard anything… giving up hope for anything big

@temp0912 national awardees were notified end of december. I believe national honorable mentions were notified a few weeks ago. All that is left are regional affiliate awards.

@Mirandarwallace ohh I see. Usually how many people win regional affiliate? This was my first year submitting an application.

I’m not 100% sure but if you are pretty experienced in computer science, have leadership experience, and good writing, you’d Probably have a good chance.

@temp0912 ^

@Mirandarwallace How experienced would one have to be?

@needtosucceed27 Some examples of experience would be taking tech related classes, or participating in a hackathon, for example.

I agree with @equationlover, but it would also depend on your area. For example, southern California is a much bigger affiliate than north alabama, therefore it is more competitive for affiliate awards. @needtosuceed27

@Mirandarwallace Hmm okay, like what about Illinois?

@needtosuceed27 probably kind of in the middle.

@Mirandarwallace Thank you for the info!

Is anyone here from MA? How competitive is it?

Has anyone heard anything about regional affiliate awards?

@shreklvr yep I believe they came out a few weeks ago. Not sure of the exact time period, but it was definitely during Mid-late January

My endorser just got an email today that he forwarded to me about his student winning some kind of award. He forwarded the email to me, and it says that the winners have already been emailed/notified, but I didn’t get any email. Is there any other way for me to check? Thanks!
