Hi!!! I just just an email and I got the scholarship for Chinese Summer in Chengdu!! I also received a scholarship for a full year exchange in Germany from CBYX, so now I need to choose between the two!
When did you get the email? @concertsloth
@pineapple86 I got it at 1:11 Pacific Time (Seattle)
My son received his confirmation at 2 pm PST (California). But we are not sure where he is going as given three locations: Nanjing, Suzhou, or Xi’an, China. Any of you who got specific locations - are you also for Summer China?
@Sparky232 I received a similar acceptance email: no specific location was given for the program. They listed 3 – Nanjing, Suzhou, or Xi’an, China – and said that they would confirm the location at the beginning of May.
@sparky232 @zoompython I am Chinese Summer and my location was listed in the email for Chengdu, China sponsored by AFS
@concertsloth @zoompython – my son just told me that some of the programs are sponsored by AFS and some are through ACIE. So maybe the AFS peeps know exact location now, and the ACIE folks find out in May? Anyway, he is thrilled so not sweating it. 
@concertsloth @zoompython My implementing organization is also ACIE sot that explains why we got different information.
@oak2maple I had family members express the same concerns, but my son was perfectly safe and enjoyed every minute of Amman, Jordan. They initially stay as a group in an apartment building near the university, with chaperones on site. Since it is during Ramadan, their food is catered during the day. They take the most wonderful excursions - to the City of Salt, Petra, the Dead Sea.
My son wrote about it a little in his blog: https://smosbyblog.■■■■■■■■■■■■■/.
When Ramadan is over, they stay with Jordanian families. They spend a lot of time tutoring Jordanian students who want to learn English, through the American Embassy. He was very safe and they definitely kept a watchful eye on the whole group.
