<p>Congrats dna3 and micromom's son!</p>
<p>I'm kind of confused about the 2 letters of recommendation though -- for the second one from an "adult over the age of 18", do you think it's okay to get that one from a teacher also? Hmm.</p>
<p>I made semifinalist. I was sort of surprised since my community service is somewhat substantial but not that impressive. Well, it was nice to make it this far.</p>
<p>weee. i'm also a semifinalist.</p>
<p>=_= i don't really have any one substantial activity for all those questions though.</p>
<p>My kid just got a semifi letter also. Must be more than 1000 in the country.</p>
<p>would you all mind posting where you're from..for others who are still waiting? thanks</p>
<p>I'm from the southeast..</p>
<p>i'm from the southeast also</p>
<p>anyone from Florida?</p>
<p>Just curious but does mail come on different days depending on region or state?</p>
<p>has anyone from Texas received notification?</p>
<p>i'm a semifinalist too! i'm from georgia. if you're selected as a finalist are you guaranteed any money?</p>
<p>finalists are guaranteed $10,000. I think 88 of the 100 finalists get $10,000 and 12 get $20,000.</p>
<p>Hey yall, so I totally don't have any mail today. =( </p>
<p>Oh well, but for those of you who did become semifinalists, do you mind sharing what your nom form looked liked? Just out of curiousity...</p>
<p>What was the postmark date?</p>
<p>i'm from georgia. Received the semifinal letter today, the 11th,
It's a packet with two rec letters and forms for you to fill out indepth about your community service activities. Painted on manilla paper.</p>
<p>Im from Texas and I received my package today!</p>
