I just received an email from my state officer that I was selected as a delegate for GA! In the email it says that the Hearst Foundation will send out confirmation packages in mid-December for all of you who are wondering. Good luck, and congratulations to all of the selected delegates! Can’t wait to meet you all!
@wcp1901 Congratulations! Do you know if semi finalists not picked were emailed or will be notified?
@britain Thank you! And no, I’m not sure how they will notify the semi finalists who weren’t selected. I just know for sure that the Hearst Foundation is preparing (and possible sending) the packages out now so that the delegates/alternates are notified by mid-December! I think it should be pretty soon (like this week soon) compared to when they contacted delegates in the past.
Congratulations, what a great honor!
@saintsfan101 @kungfukenny anyone hear anything from CA?
@Bridge19 @kungfukenny The department of education emailed me. They said that the selection has been made, and the announcement is soon. All applicants will be notified. Did you ever hear back from the Hearst Foundation?
Hearst replied this morning that CA would be sending notifications ‘soon’
It’s been a crazy ride. Best of luck to you, I’ll let you know when I’m notified @Bridge19
Sadly I wasn’t selected but will apply again next year. Thanks for everyone’s help and good luck to those still waiting. My state actually sent out an email to let us know. For those selected, enjoy DC and let us know how it goes!
Still just playing the waiting game here in Ohio. I know I probably didn’t get it, we don’t have essays or interviews, just the test, but I am still anxious. I am so excited for those selected! Please let us know how it goes.
I just posted the comment above and 20 mins later was notified by my principal that she got a phone call saying I’m in! I am so excited to meet everybody!
Did you hear anything in fl yet?
Anyone from VA hear anything? Or know when decisions are released?
@BoomerSooner1 also from VA here but haven’t heard anything!
@potatoepotatoe I am getting very anxious ?? hopefully we will know soon!
To everyone wondering, I found out that I was selected as a delegate 2 days ago and received a package from the Hearst Foundation today. Check your mailboxes!
@wcp1901 thanks for the info - weird question but did it come USPS (or UPS or Fedex) and where was it sent from (postmarked city?) USPS Informed Delivery shows an ‘unknown’ package coming in a few days so would love to know
@wcp1901 - What state are you from, if you don’t mind me asking.
@Bridge19 I don’t think California even gets those, but I’ve heard ups in the past. Hopefully ca announces tomorrow.
@Bridge19 It is from UPS! An express envelope shipping via 2nd day air from San Francisco
