@Lunarlitgend so they have been all over the place with notifications. If I recall correctly, 2 years ago everyone found out when the list was released which I think may have been the Monday before Thanksgiving. No Finalists were called that I’m aware of. The year before that and last year Finalists were called starting around a week before Thanksgiving so if they call Finalists this year I’d expect that to start happening as soon as next week. Last year the list was the latest it’s been released which was the Monday AFTER Thanksgiving on 11/29. I would watch their twitter as well as Instagram for clues. They usually start dropping cryptic hints before notifications start going out.
Best of luck to everyone! And please post if you get that awesome Finalist call!! :-))
