I hope you all are right about those rejection letters, though I hope no one recieved them. We have not had the best of luck with our guidance counselor.
I just joined today (long-time lurker and anxious parent) to say that my child was told by her principal that she is a finalist here in central Louisiana.
I received my Finalist certificate from my guidance counselor today in Kansas! The flood of relief may now wash over me.

Good luck to everyone who is still waiting to hear. I understand how excruciatingly painful the waiting is.
@sonsallas Sadly, there has been a couple rejection letters a couple weeks back. But you should be good.
You heard from Kansas, @almostcollegegal? Ugh. I bet the principal misread the letter and is waiting to tell me until the press release date. 
Don’t worry – we didn’t find out that my daughter was a semifinalist until we found it on an online list – the school had had it for a week and hadn’t mentioned anything.
@forian Not far from Huntsville, actually!
Well, it seems the Carrier Pigeons have withstood tornadoes in KS & MO. Also adding-in OREGON. I might have added-in another state or two, but I’m currently on a Thin Mint Sugar High, so I may be slightly confused…

Nothing in CO yet for us? Anyone else hear from CO?
@kmywest, I don’t believe we’ve had any reports from CO yet. Would you like a Girl Scout Rah-Rah Rasin Cookie?
I’m going to eat the rest of the chocolate chip cookie dough that I have in my fridge:) Thanks anyway.

Been lurking the last few days – and all your comments helped, THanks!! But my son just got the good news that he is a finalist from his principal, up here in Seattle WA
Another one in California… notified by the HS today. 
My school in California says that they haven’t received notifications yet.
My school in California says that they haven’t received notifications yet.
My son came home from school today and said there are press releases online from high schools releasing names of finalists. I checked and came across this one in Illinois (we’re in PA).
From North Idaho - 2 kids at our school received REJECTIONS a couple of weeks ago. We have NOT received notification that my son is a finalist. Hopefully that is good news, but nervous :).
IN from Colorado. Notified by high school.
