  1. According to someone on the Facebook group, alternate promotion emails have started. Nothing in my inbox, so I'll be committing to an internship in China instead!
  2. Andorra also sent results, it seems. Holding out anxiously for Japan...
  3. I was the one that made the Slack chat, just in case anyone wants verification that it was made by someone from here and not one of the trolls that were vandalizing the spreadsheet. Edit: An invitation link, in case ewhipple's link doesn't work for non-members,
  4. The first alternate promotions should be this week, Tuesday or later. Since there is only one CLS site in Japan, and therefore fewer people who might drop, it might be good for me to assume that it's this week or never for me. Fingers crossed!
  5. Over the years we can find data on, the first finalist notifications have been no later than March 8. I hope someone here gets good news by Friday!
  6. Nope, but the anecdotes I've heard make it sound like it's a decent chance. I'd guess that we Japanese alternates have a bit of a hard time, since there is only one program in Japan, but don't give up yet! A poll on the Facebook applicants group showed no more than 6 known alternates in any program so far, and program alumni say that they saw a decent number of applicants in their classes. Some got their notifications as late as May... I don't know if I can play chicken for that long, but if I get an email then I will definitely see what I can do.
  7. Someone on the Facebook group said that he was a Korean finalist in a past year. His institution had 27 students, and about 4 or 5 of them were alternates. No idea how big the alternate pool is, though.
  8. Alternate for advanced Japanese. Hmmm..... Well, I'm honored to have made it here, and the lateness of the notification may mean that a spot will open for me. But, I'm going to start the process of getting my internship in China. Congratulations, everyone!
  9. refreshing intensifies Not yet. I'll accept whatever I get, but *really* hoping for good news. Assuming rejected or alternate status for Japanese, since I don't have it yet. We'll see in a few minutes.
  10. I'd say it's more than slightly annoying; I'm sure a lot of people have potential employers waiting for the results. I'm supposed to do an internship in China if this falls through, but this is going to make it really difficult to finalize everything... There is zero tolerance if applications come in late, but it seems that results are on a very loose timeline...
  11. At least one person on the staff is a 2015 alumnus. He must surely remember the stress of waiting; there must be some really good governmental reason for being so vague. Maybe they can't show their hand too early, or alien body snatchers will have time to take us over.
  12. Well, we are free for the next twelve hours. Then we begin again, only to be disappointed again
  13. Yeah, I am q: Well, I wouldn't be surprised to see it within the next forty minutes. But, I wouldn't be surprised if they pushed it to Friday, either. They changed the FAQ to say that it might come in early March, as someone pointed out earlier Edit: Study disengaged for next 27 minutes. Staring at screen. Active wait mode.
