NSLI-Y 2017 - 2018

Thanks!

Russian summer applicant here…I called and they confirmed that they have sent out all of the Russian and Hindi acceptances and alternates. Oh well.

Does anyone know the reasoning behind NSLIY waiting to send rejection notices out? I’m curious as to why they would wait for certain languages if all of the finalist notifications were already sent out.

I will be out of the country for a service trip from March 10th-24th without any wifi pretty much the whole time. Do you think if I call nsli they can tell me a date so I can make an effort to find wifi on that day? It will be impossible to check my email probably more than once, and I won’t be able to do so until at least the 20th. That means if descision comes out on the 11th as they did last year I won’t be able to see it until it’s too late to get back to nsli.

Yikes, I would definitely contact NSLIY just to let them know, it’s always better to be safe than sorry! Have fun on the service trip, and good luck!

I emailed them on Friday but they still haven’t responded; should I try calling?

I am also a hindi summer semifinalist

Finalist for Tajikistan summer!

@hotchkiss50 Congratulations!!!

I’m a finalist for the Russian summer program in Kirov, Russia! There is also a Facebook page for Russian summer finalist and a specific page for Kirov finalist.

congrats guys! I hope that all of y’all have amazing summers :smiley:

Does anyone know when the china summer comes out?

Looking at past years, seems like late March, like around the 28th. We are waiting very impatiently!

For any who applied for ExCELL abroad too, semifinalist notification was emailed yesterday.

Arabic notifications are coming out now!!

Do they release all the acceptances at once or over a period of a day?

I just got into the Amman, Jordan program!!

Someone shared this timeline before:

NSLI-Y 2015/16 NOTIFICATION TIMELINE:

1.) Russian Summer (February 29th, 2016)
2.) Hindi Summer (February 29th, 2016)
3.) Korean Summer (March 1, 2016)
4.) Tajik Summer (March 11, 2016)
5.) Arabic Summer (March 16, 2016)
6.) Chinese Summer (March 28, 2016)

Since Arabic came out today, Chinese should also come out a few days earlier than the 28th and maybe even sooner.

Did they release Korea yet?

Somehow DS messed-up up loading his physical! Part of it up loaded and part didn’t and he didn’t realize this. He swears it was there but now it’s not. He got an email today telling him his Physical information is incomplete and asked him to please attach it to the reply to the email. At first I panicked thinking he had completely mucked up his chances but then why would they even bother to ask him to send it now?

Then DS reminded me of this

So we are taking this as a good sign (he has no issues with his physical). His first choice is Chinese. Has this happen to anyone else?
