She told me Monday, hopefully, but I really feel like it is grasping at straws to put any time frame on this. They are still waiting for DoE (head office?) to authorize the notification process. So far as I know, that has been the hold up since I spoke with her last. I facetiously suggested she leave that office's number on her voicemail message so they could receive the (insert a ridiculous amount) calls a day. Having already called twice, I think I'm going to rely on the forum now. Hoping we have some news come Friday on this thread...

Called Carmen and she said the same thing about 10 minutes ago. Next week, hopefully.

Spoke with Carmen today, about an hour ago. She says they are running behind with no idea of when they might get clearance from DoE to start making calls. She says it's frustrating to get bombarded by calls when she has no real news--keep in mind there are over 800 applicants. She said she hopes to call the finalists on March 15--maybe even March 10th. But then she added alternates likely wouldn't be called until the beginning of April, and rejection notices would be sent out in late April probably. Good luck to all!
