<p>Has anyone heard…or can I assume I have been rejected?</p>
<p>From the Facebook group:
"Selections have been made, however they will not be notifying anyone of their status today. The woman I spoke with in HR said we should all expect to hear something (good or bad) within the next two weeks. As many of you have previously mentioned, the status of the program is up in the air until the budget gets approved. "</p>
<p>Hah so just got the email notification - </p>
<p>Thank you for your application for the U.S. Department of State’s 2011 Summer Clerical Program. </p>
<p>Unfortunately, you were not selected for a position for this cycle. Please do not take this as a negative reflection on your qualifications or merit, but rather as an outcome of a difficult and competitive process involving thousands of applicants.</p>
<p>-no surprise there!</p>
<p>Yep same here. I guess with thousands applying, a little high schooler like me wouldn’t get accepted haha. Ah well. I’m glad I have backups :)</p>
<p>^haha me too. Thank goodness :)</p>
<p>didn’t get it either… c’est la vie I guess :)</p>
