<p>So how are semifinalists being notified?</p>
<p>Semifinalists are notified through email.</p>
<p>Anyone from Ga heard anything?</p>
<p>Sally22: nope havent heard anything ;(</p>
<p>anyone know what states have heard?</p>
<p>Ny, nj, va, md</p>
<p>I’m assuming California will be last?</p>
<p>Well that’s weird.
Haven’t heard anything as of yet and I’m from NY.</p>
<p>From what I’ve read on NSLI-Y’s Facebook, when searching their posts from past years, NYC hears before the rest of NY.</p>
<p>So you mean… Like those in Manhatten hear first? I’m pretty close to the city so, unless they’re doing it based on boroughs… I’m still a lost child waiting lol</p>
<p>I think those who interview first are notified first. You might just be interviewing later.</p>
<p>Good Luck. I hope you get your notification letter soon.</p>
<p>We live in KY and my daughter hasn’t received an email yet…hoping she would hear soon. Anyone apply well before the deadline? She applied a few weeks before.</p>
<p>we live in Ohio and haven’t heard either , not sure if no news is good or bad, sounds like they might still be sending out notifications. Good Luck!</p>
<p>Anyone from MA heard back yet? They said that interviews will go into February, does anyone know if that means we might not hear back for a couple of months? Also, does anyone know if they send out the ones saying you do not have an interview in December as well? Very nervous/excited, good luck everyone!</p>
<p>you will hear one way or the other by the end of December.</p>
<p>Hi, I’d just like to put in that NSLI-Y has confirmed that all semi-finalist notifications will be received by the end of December. Also, a member of an applicant group on Facebook has received confirmation from staff at NSLI-Y that notifications are done by state, not time of submission. As far as we’ve gathered, they’ve only announced semi-finalists for New York, New Jersey, Maryland, and Virginia, which were all sent out last Tuesday.</p>
<p>Thanks so much for the info. Does anyone know how exactly they choose people to be semi-finalists? Do you think it’s pretty much all the essay’s? I’m not really sure what else they would look at</p>
<p>They do consider your stats, but it’s mostly the essays at this point in the process.</p>
<p>Ignore if you don’t want to hear me rant
I’m sooooooooooo screwed. My teacher said she turned in the rec letter a long time ago, but i just checked and it says not submitted for some reason. I should have double checked SMH. I called and they said they’ll still consider my app, but I’m feeling disheartened? What do you guys think?</p>
<p>@zanelias I am a semifinalist and it turns out my teacher rec didn’t go through either, so don’t lose hope! you never know, right?</p>
<p>Yeah, it’ fine. They don’t really consider teacher/parent statement until it’s time for choosing finalists.</p>
