10th
got my rejection at 4:45 (I’m FL) :(((
really upset but then again I can’t change anything about that. I wish the best for you all still expecting, those who are moving on, and those who were not selected.!!
My son is a semi for Arabic summer (1st) and Chinese summer (2nd). He is a freshman in TX.
Any year Arabic notifications yet???
sorry to hear that. which program?
Wait what… Semis and rejects same day? I thought it was semis then rejects according to what I read.
I haven’t received anything - an acceptance or rejection. Hoping to get something soon.
Still nothing (2:24)
California
Russian summer
10th grade
Ughhhhh
Yeah, it appears that NSLI-Y really enjoys shaking things up? have they ever had two years that were the same?
Native Russian speaker, applying for Turkish and Tajik summer, junior, have received no word as of yet. Fingers crossed!
For those of you who have been rejected, persistence can pay off. Try again next year. If THIS summer is the best for you, look into other programs. AFS has an intensive Mandarin program that worked out very well for my DD. Feel free to PM me.
Junior semi finalist for Tajik summer and Russian summer second choice.
@acctchik China for first option and Korean second for the summer
@mrkpoplover yeah that’s what I thought, which was a surprise when I read the email and immediately saw the word “unfortunately”…
Yep I got rejected…
Korean summer only choice
10th grade
I’m in Southern California and I got my notification that I was a semi-finalist at 9:49am!
My last name starts with N and I’m a junior. I applied for the Summer China program 
Anyone else for Tajikistan?
Rejection 4:00 CO. I’m a senior so wha haha but that’s okay. Good luck to those of you that made it to sems! Oh yeah, I applied for Russian summer (1st) and Korean summer (2nd)
For the past two year I have handled the rejection email by crying for a solid hour and then eating some comfort food, and that usually allowed me to speed up the whole healing process. Get angry, rant, do what you must. Apply again if you can. If you cant look into other programs, ExCEL, CBYX may still be open in some regions. If your going to college next year there are so many choices, CLS is exactly like a summer nsli-y program. They have programs like Teaching And Learning in Korea, there are endless opportunities to study abroad so dont let this define or hinder your world travels.
Hi, my name is Emma and I am a sophomore and I am a SEMI FINALIST!
I live in IL and received my email at 10:47 am but I didn’t see it till now XD
I applied for Korean summer then China summer.
I applied last year, made it to semi, but ended up getting rejected at the end.
