I applied for Arabic Summer, and have not yet heard anything. Does this mean I was not accepted?
Hey everyone!
-
Does anyone know the departure/return dates for NSLI-Y China last summer?
-
Do y’all know if people are allowed to leave the NSLI-Y program early? Say a family member was getting married or something, would students be excused?
Thanks - I’m waiting on the finalist/rejection notification, and it seems like there’ll be something going on around July 23rd for me. : /
@HongdouMianbao I’m not sure about the dates, but you definitely can’t leave the program early except in the case of emergencies
Has anyone been notified as a finalist for Arabic language? Tx. It seems last year they were notified on March 24th.
Arabic summer notifs have already gone out! ^^
Arabic finalists have already been notified. It is usually very rare to be accepted after the first day of notifications for any language program. But don’t be too upset, you are still gonna have an amazing summer either way!
I just heard that I’ll be spending the summer in Samsun, Turkey with AFS!
Just found out that I’m an alternate for Turkey so if anyone would like to deny their Turkey scholarship that’d be great :))
And also does anyone know the chances of a summer alternate getting moved up to a finalist?
@college61728
Thank you for the answer!
Was looking forward to knowing Chinese finalists by today, but I think it was Turkey instead?
@calii17
From what I have seen. Usually each language and duration has 1 or 2 finalists that were originally alternates. But then there are some languages and durations the past years that have had no alternates. Either way you do have a chance! I am not sure how many alternates they notify but don’t give up hope just yet! Congrats on becoming an alternate. 
@jetsflier Congratulations!!~
Congrats to everyone who has been accepted!
(here I am, waiting for China/Korea summer)
@Faultystart
Same!
And the forum is very quiet as of late. I know last year it was so much more active.
Annnd here comes another week waiting for NSLI-Y results… I’m assuming they wouldn’t release any decisions on a Saturday or Sunday.
I know that it takes time for them to sort through all the applications, but I wish I knew whether I was accepted/rejected earlier - many other summer programs close their applications around this time, so it’s hard to have a back-up program. I feel like I’m putting all my eggs in the NSLI-Y basket, and there’s a chance they won’t hatch! I hope that all who aren’t accepted find a fulfilling use of their summer nevertheless.
Anyway, good luck to us still waiting! *binges Duolingo
@HongdouMianbao
haha omg your metaphor!! haha that basically sums it all up!
Did you apply for Chinese Summer?
@EmmaPotts
Yeah, I applied for China Summer first choice and Year second. You applied for Korea, right? I remember you from last year’s forum. I didn’t even manage semi-finalist last year, but it was my first time applying so I hope it goes better this round.
@HongdouMianbao
This year I am a sophomore so I am hoping that this year will be my year! haha
And I bet it will go well for you this year and if it doesn’t, the third time’s the charm right?
I haven’t received an email for the Turkish summer at all yet, but my second choice was any, what are my chances of going with NSLI-Y this summer? Thanks
@agjade no one really gets second choice and its still possible for Turkish alternate! They also may have another Turkish program (idk though) there is always a chance!
