<p>when should we expect to find out if we are a semi-finalist?</p>
<p>Skim this thread and you can see when people were learning last year.</p>
<p>I think we find out sometime in January. Last year’s applications were due in late december/early january so the timeline is off if you compare it to this year.</p>
<p>What are your back up plans if NSLI-Y does not happen</p>
<p>im thinking about applying for yfu also</p>
<p>I’m beyond excited to find out about the semi-finalist interviews! My choices were: Chinese, Arabic, and Any (all one year.)</p>
<p>I’m so excited too! I chose chinese, hindi, and arabic, all for the summer. I’m a senior, so I really hope I get accepted. this is such a great program, though!</p>
<p>for the part thats due dec 15th,
where do we find the terms and conditions?</p>
<p>I called the Americans Council today and asked that question. </p>
<p>Response:
ais.americancouncils.org has your application still online. You can view it to print out sections, just not edit it.</p>
<p>thank you!!</p>
<p>Good luck to all of you guys this year! For tips, go through this thread…</p>
<p>Yay for more NSLI-Yers! I went to Turkey last summer (and am re-applying for next summer) and had the TIME OF MY LIFE. Seriously, this program is amazing.</p>
<p>This thread has a lot of great tips, so I’d urge you to look through it as chewydog said. Exchanges Connect is also great: [National</a> Security Language Initiative for Youth (NSLI-Y) - ExchangesConnect](<a href=“http://connect.state.gov/group/nsliy]National”>http://connect.state.gov/group/nsliy) .</p>
<p>I’ve been answering questions about Turkey in this thread:
[Anyone</a> applying to Turkey? Past experiences would be very helpful! - ExchangesConnect](<a href=“http://connect.state.gov/group/nsliy/forum/topics/anyone-applying-to-turkey-past]Anyone”>http://connect.state.gov/group/nsliy/forum/topics/anyone-applying-to-turkey-past)</p>
<p>If anyone has any other questions about Turkey, I’d be glad to answer them.
Good luck, everyone!</p>
<p>hey! did anyone else’s application disappear from being online?</p>
<p>does the website say any exact dates for programs yet?!</p>
<p>mrbh12 - Exact departure and return dates won’t be known until they send you an acceptance letter at the end of the application process. All countries/sending organizations have differing dates.</p>
<p>ktlove12 - My app is still available online…You should probably email American Councils if you’re still having a problem.</p>
<p>Does anyone know when the parent recs are due???</p>
<p>And there was one other form that was due after the application was due, does anyone know what/when this was due??</p>
<p>Thank you</p>
<p>Both are due on December 15 before 11:59 p.m. PT.</p>
<p>Watchmesoar: How was the trip to Turkey? It’s been ages since…well…that stressful time of applications =D</p>
<p>I know, it’s crazy how much has happened since then! Turkey was flipping <em>awesome</em>. I had an amazing time. You applied for S.Korea, right? How was it?</p>
<p>I applied for Russia summer…
However, I can’t seem to find the website where parents send the recommendation.
I remember seeing it when I applied but I can’t find it now…</p>
