<p>Congrats!!!</p>
<p>I think you’re from Alabama right? Can I ask what your ACT or SAT was?</p>
<p>Rejection must be coming for me. Hopefully I get the NMF thing though. CBHP comes out soon right?</p>
<p>jrt…you made NMF. :)</p>
<p>The rejection letters for NMF went out 3 weeks ago. Since you didn’t get one, you made NMF. :)</p>
<p>CBH notifications go out around Feb 1st.</p>
<p>did anyone else have to pay additional postage?</p>
<p>That postage thing concerns me…</p>
<p>I think a semi-finalist should call Wellon and tell her that the postage may not have been right on the letters. 205-348-5599</p>
<p>If the postage isn’t right, it will cause a delay and may even cause some letters to be returned to Bama.</p>
<p>According to a dad that emailed me, the shape is non-standard. If that’s true, then that would require additional postage.</p>
<p>I emailed Wellon & explained that I still had not heard, and knew that one finalist had been notified with a letter sent postage due. I explained that I was afraid my letter may have had the same problem and asked if I could get an answer via email.</p>
<p>I received a response back promptly asking me to verify my address, which I did. I was told to let them know if I still did not receive a letter after the mail runs on Monday.</p>
<p>So, it appears the ones of us in limbo will have to wait either on a letter or till Monday to find something out.</p>
<p>Hmmmm…</p>
<p>I think they should just send emails out now.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>It’s about six inches square. The non-standard shape is probably the issue. My d’s graduation invitations a few years ago were square (made to look like a mortarboard cap), and they required extra postage because of the shape.</p>
<p>Thanks to several posters for the gracious & informative PMs!</p>
<p>I’m going to be really unhappy if I’m in limbo until Monday…that’s nearly a week after others found out…just send an email :)</p>
<p>no mail in houston today…</p>
<p>^^^</p>
<p>Would you be willing to call Wellon and ask her about the postage and non-standard size issue? I would do it, but she’d ask for the name of the UFE semi-finalist, and obviously I don’t have one. Maybe you could suggest that they send out emails to all.</p>

<p>Update, my dad, the grandfather, had checked the mail…Now he remembers a square purplish/maroonish envelope with fellows on it…could it be?</p>
<p>What did he do with it??? I think that’s it. That’s what the dad described to me on PM.</p>
<p>Where is it??? </p>
<p>Was there a “postage due” on it???</p>
<p>LOL</p>
<p>I got my letter-no additional postage required
good news here!</p>
<p>Congrats Rocket!!! I am so happy for you and the other finalists.</p>
<p>Now, if the mail would just cooperate for the rest!</p>
<p>I wonder if those who had phone interviews, but did not make finalists could post and say how they felt that their phone interviews went. I wonder if they felt that the interview didn’t go well or something.</p>
<p>congrats Rocket! 
(and the rest of you!)
DS got his rejection letter - not unexpected at all and good to be on to the next thing.</p>
<p>^^^^</p>
<p>Sorry to hear.</p>
<p>Did he sense anything wrong during the phone interview?</p>
<p>^if you’re referring to DS, there was definitely something wrong during his phone interview… he didn’t get one!
seriously, it was a long shot now that we’re seeing the qualifications of some on here… looks like they made some wise choices!</p>
