<p>I didn’t get it:/ I guess they sent out rejections after acceptances, but that’s just my speculation. </p>
<p>I’m from Georgia and haven’t gotten anything yet :/</p>
<p>From Texas and received the semifinalist email!</p>
<p>I didn’t get in and I’m from Alabama. Bummer… There were 10k participants. That is insane!</p>
<p>I’m from Maryland</p>
<p>Congratulations to everybody! Good luck on the next rounds!

<p>Selected as a semifinalist! I’m from Georgia btw. not sure if anyone else was. congrats to everyone else selected!</p>
<p>Hm. I haven’t gotten an email at all. Does this mean that I entered it wrong on the application or what? </p>
<p>@loyalty @liveyourlife26 @sammiemac I think last year there were over 1,000 semi-finalists </p>
<p>semifinalist!! by the way, does anyone remember what the essay questions were for this application? I completed a long time ago and seem to have forgotten.</p>
<p>Nevermind I checked the wrong email. Accepted as a semifinalist!</p>
<p>Good luck semifinalists! I was lucky to be selected last year, and it is an incredible program. Feel free to ask me questions if you have any, and I wish you all the best of luck!</p>
