For the rest of us: good luck. Know that this is a very special thread–two of us have already been accepted. Hopefully the rest of us can follow since CC is such a self-selected group. 
I’m praying for all of us.
Thank you for those positive and uplifting words. I pray you get it as well. @dannyo95
@VandyPerson @SchimmelJay CONGRATS!! Did you guys have interviews??
Yes I got interviewed last Thursday.
To everyone that got accepted…which department was it?
Perhaps the departments should not be discussed, as this is a public forum.
No one else has heard anything right?
I posted in the thread a while back about how I submitted my application a week prior to the dead line and never heard anything.
Turns out I got accepted. I had no contact with anyone from the White House Internship Committee at all. If you haven’t been contacted, dont be discouraged.
Good luck!
May we ask when you received the email @DawgsOnTop? Today?
@DawgsOnTop Wow! Very nice! Thanks! My recommendations have been contacted yesterday! Feeling very hopeful.
@DawgsOnTop CONGRATS!!!
congrats everyone so far! Hope to hear many more success stories in coming days/weeks
I know its early but has anyone heard anything today?
Nopeity nope nope with a topping of nope sprinkles.
This might be the day that you can add yes sprinkles as your toppings.
I hope so. Having ice cream either way so at least I have that going for me. 
Anyone else heard anything today???
It’s been crickets for me so far. Has anyone been denied?
Nothing yet. My best guess is that the applications are reviewed on a departmental basis, likely by the people who will be working with the interns. Each department is probably on a different schedule.
Has anyone received anything saying that they were NOT accepted? Or are they only sending out acceptance emails?
