My son was nominated for Indiana University’s Wells Scholar program. The website says nominees will be notified either way as to whether or not they are Finalists “in mid-November.” I have seen a thread on CC indicating a few nominees have already been notified, 2 said they weren’t Finalists, 1 said s/he was a Finalist. What I don’t know is whether or not all notifications have been made or whether notifications are still in process. I am wrestling with whether or not I should have son call, and if so, how much longer should we wait.
I don’t want son to call and look pushy if they are still in process of making decisions. But, if all notifications have been made, son should have received an email and he has not - not even in spam. There’s a lot of nominees, so it’s a longshot type of award. But if by some lucky stroke son is a Finalist and something funky happened with the email, he’ll never know that he was a Finalist; there could be action required, such as a deadline to accept an invitation to the Finalist weekend that takes place in early December.
Thoughts?
