YES Abroad 2018-2019

 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

exactly! like I’m STRESSED I just wanna know

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.

omg it IS the middle of march

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

I got my notification today. I’m an alternate.
