@SoundCheck1 That is why there are alternates but It’s past the deadline to decline the scholarship.
@SoundCheck1 The point of having alternates is to fill spots where finalists declined the scholarship, not for finalists who already accepted it and are having second thoughts. I suppose an alternate would be called if NSLI-Y allowed a finalist to back out, but that’s not the purpose of having alternates.
@cthulhi Congrats on becoming a finalist for the fellowship! I think you made the right choice in choosing NSLI-Y though (just from my completely biased point of view) 
China Academic Year where are youuuuu
Me with arabic lmao
@Diablaze did you already get accepted??
@pac675
No, I was expressing my extreme nervousness haha. It’s been five days since the previous year notifications though!
@Diablaze Hahaha I’m just as bad. I check my email every hour. I’m a chinese applicant too btw!!
@pac675: I literally stare at my phone and will for an email notification to pop up… lol. I also have a friend applying to China AY, and we freak each other out…
Notifications usually go out around 4:00-5:30 so during that time i just freak out and stare at my email
@Fangirl1999 hmm, do you know if all the acceptances are sent out on the same day for one program? And if all the rejections are also sent out together on a later date?
All of the finalists & alternates for a program usually come on the same day (for year at least), and then ALL year rejects (no matter the program) get their email after all of the finalists and alternates have gone out
Ugh i hope China AY coes today
@Dtcardillo99 I know
I’m so scared it’ll be a no though
Nothingg
@Dtcardillo99 ugh I know…!
