<p>^wednesday??? the 21st? whats going on then?</p>
<p>Ilikeyou, read your email again.</p>
<p>No, I go to a school in Massachusetts and I got my acceptance on Friday. She wants the forms faxed by Monday, so it’s odd that some people haven’t gotten them yet.</p>
<p>By the way, to those who are accepted so far, are you all non-seniors?</p>
<p>So is Wednesday the official Finalist release date?</p>
<p>Because on the website it says the 30th?</p>
<p>dang, this thread is gonna make me unproductive until wednesday
haha</p>
<p>I was told that they were done with the corrections early and that postings would be on Wednesday.</p>
<p>I am a junior, and the other person from my school can either be a junior or a senior.</p>
<p>^do they have another round of calls to make?</p>
<p>^ No idea.</p>
<p>^^^^^^ or however far up it was, I am a junior.</p>
<p>@ Samgunno on page 33:</p>
<p>I don’t know, the person who did it last year left. but that email sounds legit.
This is really incredibly wierd.
The website still says releasing on the 30th!</p>
<p>And I haven’t gotten anything yet.</p>
<p>yea i emailed kathy frame before. new director lolz.</p>
<p>sigh. it will be really sad if 3 previous silver medalists dont make it.</p>
<p>It’s possible they’re splitting the camp into multiple groups…based on grade/age… for example, one group for the top N scores in semifinals, and the other group for the top 20-N nonsenior scores not in the top N. It could be different coordinators/calling dates for each group. That can explain why there’s so few people as of now.</p>
<p>I noticed on the IBO website for USA ( <a href=“http://www.ibo-info.org/countries/usa[/url]”>http://www.ibo-info.org/countries/usa</a> ) it said “The top 20 are selected without regard to race, ethnicity, gender or religious affiliation.”, but it did not mention “age”, implying that there can be a bias on age.</p>
<p>Lol or, we just got plain owned.</p>
<p>No. I highly doubt hey are splitting camp by any method. Most likely scenario is that they will finish calling on monday. That’s it.</p>
<p>^ yeah, probably.
the cee website said that finalists are determined strictly by merit, so there wouldn’t be age discrimination.</p>
<p>has anyone received a call before friday? I don’t know what their office hours are, but I doubt they can get to all 20 people on the same day, esp. if some are on vacation.</p>
<p><em>shrug</em></p>
<p>Kathy Frame emailed me back today, saying that she got my fax. So I guess that means I’m in? More waiting until Wednesday; only time will tell.</p>
<p>No splitting. They would announce it if they would make such a drastic change.</p>
<p>But phospho, that would mean you didn’t make it…? :(</p>
<p>No, it’s perfectly possible that they call today, because if they only called on Friday then the 3 silver medalists from last year who participated this year did not make it. That is clearly not possible.</p>
<p>Indeed.</p>
<p>She said in her email, though, that she wanted the forms faxed to her by 5:00 pm today. That leaves quite a narrow margin for people who don’t have fax machines.</p>
<p>In any case, best of luck to all.</p>
<p>hmm, could they possibly have barred previous finalists from competing again?
if she does call today, I’m sure there would be a different deadline for those people.</p>
<p>^Such a drastic change in policy would surely have been announced.</p>
