NSLI-Y 2017 - 2018

Ah I have my interview today :-SS best of luck to anyone else who does!

@northeastgirl24 good luck with your interview!!! If it already passed, how did it go??

Overall, I think it went well! :slight_smile: If any of you have questions, feel free to send me a pm

Hi everyone! I’m a NSLI-Y Russia Summer 2016 alum. I had the best time of my life in Moscow–it was honestly sooo much fun. If any of you have any questions at all about my experiences in Moscow or the application process in general, I’d be more than happy to help :slight_smile: Good luck!

Has anyone still not heard anything about their interview? My first choice is Mandarin summer if that’s relevant.

@pineapple86 my ds is still waiting hear, his first choice is Manarin, second choice Korean both summer programs. We’re in Central TX, we’re are you?

@3scoutsmom We have the same top choices lol! I’m in Minnesota.

No one from my school has heard anything. We’ve applied to Russian summer, Korean Summer, and Chinese Summer. Illinois :slight_smile:

DS got an email on the 24th (I think - at least that’s when he told me) that he has an interview on Saturday January 14th. :slight_smile: I’m so excited for him!

Got his medical forms done last week and we’re off to get the passport renewed tomorrow since it will expire in March

@3scoutsmom Everything all lined up and ready to go! Just wonderful! Hopeful that he’ll be a finalist and you’ll all be celebrating in the spring!!

Just got my notification for my interview. Any last minute tips?

@AdventuresAbroad Sorry for the super late response, but I’m a semifinalist for Korean year too!! You should pm me so we can talk about the process and get to know each other. :slight_smile:

fyi for korean semifinalists, there is a gc! pm me or something if you want more details

Any tips for the interview? I’m applying for the summer Chinese program

Has anyone here still not heard anything about the interview? (I live in Oregon and listed Russian summer as my first choice and “Any” as my second choice, if that matters.)

My son has not yet been contacted for an interview either (Russian summer)…which is strange since others in his school have already had their interviews last month. I guess we sit tight (patiently, oh so patiently) until the 20th and if we still have not yet been contacted, reach out to NSLI per the email instructions. Will let you know if he hears anything.

Just had mine today. Hopeful it was good enough to get me a finalist status.

@oralsurgery01 Thanks for the update. You’ve done all you can and now can take a sigh of relief and sit back and wait for the decisions to be announced. I know…easier said than done. Good luck!!

No interview here yet either…Chinese summer is my first choice.
