@wmila2 it’ll probably be early next week though 
Hindi summer and Russian summer!!! I would be so happy if notifications start this week. The last Friday of February is the 26th this year, so maybe! Of course year applicants still have about a month wait according to the timeline last year, but I will be relieved if everything just finally starts, it honestly felt like it would never happen ahaha.
Also; shameless plug, but if there are any Hindi applicants who aren’t already in the chat group feel free to hmu and i can add you!
@aseolyoung
Wow, that seems extremely immersive. I love the idea of living with a host family because it kind of brings that “home” aspect abroad, but living in a temple AND a college too? Seems like you got three very distinct experiences. I’ll certainly look into the program, regardless. Thank you and best wishes to you as well!
@wmila2 @itstricky
Russian summer here as well! I bet notifications will come out either this Friday or Monday of next week >…<
Russian summer semi-finalists unite! I can’t wait for the notifications- whether they’re good or bad, I just want to know.
@phoneme16
gosh I feel the exact same, I was tempted to make a GroupMe for all of the Russian summer applicants just for the waiting process but I guess it’s a little too late for that, now that the school week is starting I’m sure we all have plenty of work to take our minds off of it for at least another week.
The Korean semis chat is amazing. Literally met some of my favorite people there! You should make one!
Is there an Arabic semis chat anyone?
I applied for Hindi summer as my first choice and Hindi year as my second. I’m so nervous waiting for the notifications to come out!! @itstricky do you mind adding me to the Hindi chat?
@amp884
Yeah! You can pm me and add me, or you can search “nsliy hindi applicants 2016-2017” and join the group and ill add you right away
I literally read this forum all the time but never comment. But Arabic Semis should have a chat plz.
@harleenlehal right tho? I want to make one if there isn’t one already.
I’m Russian summer. Has anyone heard anything yet? Also, is there a group for Russian or Korean semi-finalists?
@college61728
I haven’t heard anything! Maybe they’re waiting until March? Who knows:)
From what I’ve heard, the offices are closed during the weekend, so no notifications should go out then. Fingers crossed things start coming out tomorrow for you all though! 
Last week I was notified that I didn’t have my terms in conditions turned in which was suppose to be turned in in November. I had to mail it in immediately. Im a semi finalist for russian year and i think they would only want it if i may have been chosen since there is no point of going through the hassle if I wasn’t. Just a thought and that it means people might have already been chosen for year.
Woah if they’re already chosen why do they typically wait much later for AY to be announced? (I’m also a Russian Year hopeful so I’m very intrigued of course)
Just thought id update you guys, a Hindi summer just heard back!!!
They’re probably still trying to figure out housing arrangements and all that jazz @savlam
Tell them congrats!! omg @itstricky
@yujifuji ahh sorry for this miscommunication, i didnt hear back ahahah i applied to year, i just wanted to let you guys know that it seems like notifications have started, a russian summer applicant has also heard back.
