Seeing as the application recently opened up and I haven't yet seen a post for it, I figured it was time to make a YES Abroad thread for the upcoming 2018-2019 year so that applicants can get together and discuss the process and alumni can post advice. I'll be applying for a gap year, #1 choice Turkey.
Hi! My name’s Samantha. I applied for YES Abroad for 2018-2019 as well. I can’t wait for March to come so we know about finalists! Keep in touch
Does anyone know when they start announcing the finalists?
They come out on a rolling basis starting in March.
how many people apply per year/ how many people get it?
Has anyone gotten their results yet?
nah not yet
I just need to know one way or the other. It’s so stressful. @brentley

Did anybody here today???
I heard 2 years ago they found out March 4th
I haven’t gotten anything.
Yea me neither
Nope.
Is it worth emailing and asking if there is a specific date in mind?
Yeah. I mean it couldn’t hurt you to ask.
Ugh. they’re probably going to tell us march 31st just to torture us.
I called and they just keep saying in the middle of March.

I got my email at 2:07 this afternoon. Did not receive the scholarship. Good luck to everyone else!
