<p>Avang, that is a bit wierd. It was on Saturday from 4 to 4:55 PM EST. Maybe they forgot, the email ended up in your junk mail, or you might’ve even deleted it. Don’t stress over it, as it was an optional Q&A. If you have any questions, call or email them, or just post it on here.</p>
<p>Maybe the conference calls are for specific lengths (like Korean year, not summer)? Chewydog, what length are you doing?</p>
<p>Chewydog I might have to take you up on the offer! But just curious have the Arabic semester and year programs found out yet? :/</p>
<p>It’s been a week and half now and I have become so impatient. I just called NSLI-Y up today, and the lady on the phone was able to tell me that by the end of this week is the actual cut-off of notifications and that everyone should already be notified of acceptance or rejection. Four of my classmates have already been accepted, and I, for some reason, as it’s becoming to seem like, happen to be the only one held back from going! I really am getting fed up, because most of my family and friends are supporting me and counting me on. I’m going to be disappointed if I have to tell my mother that I’m not going to be helped this summer to go to China. My dad on the other hand though will feel different, because he really does not feel like I should go study abroad. I really feel like I can never escape to live an adventure and discover my own individualism, which was, like many, my very intention of applying for NSLI-Y in which I value much. Good luck though to the rest of you lucky ones and congrats to those who have made it already as finalists!</p>
<p>Hey yall. I just got an email telling me I got a scholarship to study in Guangzhou, China for a year. However, I probably won’t go so hopefully this is good news for you alternates. Best of luck!</p>
<p>Brian</p>
<p>congrulations =]
thanks for calling & updating us all, i still feel like they’ve forgotten about me, i STILL have nothing on my email.
goooood luck, i think we’ll need all the luck we can get.</p>
<p>Just watch them hit mid-May. </p>
<p>Jackson, when would you like the installments to begin? +_+</p>
<p>Soar, I’m in for semester, but my parents are worried about my academic life because I’m taking AP Chem and Honors Advanced Pre-Calculus next year at my school. They’re hoping to somehow get me switched to summer, but I’m not really all that wanting to switch. Hope they won’t budge!</p>
<p>Yang, hang in tere for a while longer. Your dad may just be concerned for you (like my academic-obsessed parents), so just ride out the wave of nerves.</p>
<p>Briguy, I’m sorry to hear that. Someone will get lucky though!</p>
<p>Final stretch everyone! I have to admit I’m pretty much over it by now and will likely end up just going to college even if I get it. Unless I hear by Wednesday morning, there really won’t be time for me to apply for deferment by Friday. So sad!!</p>
<p>Good luck to one and all here, whether you are going on an NSLI adventure or not. I’m sure you will all have wonderful life experiences as you finish high school and in college and beyond.</p>
<p>mikaela i’m in the EXACT same boat that you’re in… ugh i feel so left out 
I checked every box except year as well; I just want to leave the country. I’ve kind of given up hope though… I don’t know what to think.</p>
<p>even though i’ve become VERY frustrated, dont get too discouraged. the way i see it, their only saving the best for last!</p>
<p>I hope that’s the deal here mikaela. </p>
<p>And briguy, I don’t mind taking your acceptance even though I applied to go to study abroad for one semester only. I’ve been accepted to a fine college and should be starting this fall, but I don’t feel like going anymore and would rather stay in China for the whole year.</p>
<p>This week’s guaranteed the final week though for notifications, as I heard the NSLI-Y lady tell me over the phone.</p>
<p>Wait, so for those of us that have heard nothing at all, that probably means we’re rejected or alternates? No hope of a straight-up acceptance? That’s really depressing. I wish they could’ve just sent out all of the acceptances/rejections at the same time instead of these “rolling acceptances/rejection emails”, it’s making those of us still waiting crazy. :/</p>
<p>We haven’t heard from ppl who have been rejected yet either because they have chosen to not inform the forums about their rejection or that none have been rejected yet. A good number of us, as I read from the cultures-shocked forum, who are still waiting though will receive our acceptance letters after Wednesday.</p>
<p>Thanks Chewy, I just emailed them last night and I called yesterday so I guess I will wait for a response.<br>
And everyone, don’t give up hopes yet until you get a letter from NSLI-Y cause you will never know whats gonna happen!</p>
<p>Okayy I emailed the lady about my conference call and she said that somehow she forgot me so I guess everything is okay for me.
;/</p>
<p>For those who aren’t feeling optimistic remember the CIEE Scholarship for 2 weeks this summer in South Korea. The deadline is in the second week in May. Study Abroad in South Korea | CIEE</p>
<p>Also - for those already accepted once you e-mailed your passport page in did you receive anything back?</p>
<p>I emailed my acceptance page in the wrong file format and someone replied asking me to resend, so I know that they received my stuff. However, I never got an official confirmation email or any followup.</p>
<p>hey fellow nsli-y finalists, semi-finalists, etc…</p>
<p>I’ve applied for the Turkish program that’ll take place this fall semester, went to the interview in February, submitted my medical/dental forms in March, and have been anxiously awaiting word from these nerve-wracking people authorized to update the site since. I’m getting very impatient and have been reading the previous posts of people who have indeed heard from NSLI. </p>
<p>Are there any other souls out there still on queue? Are we the rejects? It’s April 27th… May is just round the corner.</p>
<p>@watchmesoar - My mom sent it a lot because she said it didn’t send so finally they e-mailed something like “thank y ou…we look forward to having clay in the program…”</p>
<p>heysoulsister - first love your username I’m singin in right now and welcome to the thread. Semesters haven’t been released yet besides a few random Korean semesters… I wish you luck in waiting</p>
<p>heysoulsister-
