I'm down for this - especially since we'll all probably see each other in DC, it'd be cool to just talk and get to know each other! Anyone wanna create it and send the link? And lol @persona_in_foro, it's an app/website/service where you can create big group chats.

I'm thinking this maybe a possibility because their office closes in less than 2 hours so unless they're planning to send it out at the last minute for some reason...

@CollegeSkiBum That's pretty much exactly what mine said. I'm taking it as a good sign bc they undoubtedly have made their decision already so anything they're checking at this point looks good that you're likely an awardee.

What did your new email from today say?

Question for the people who got the follow up confirmation email. When you replied to them, did they send you a response back? Like ya know anything like "thanks for the update" type thing?

I went and looked back at their twitter form last year and @CollegeSkiBum was right. They sent out the mailed notices on Friday the 14th and the email notices went out on Monday the 17th.

Okay that makes sense. Maybe he/she lives in the same city as the Boren office so or something so the mail arrived fast for them

@Rivai Interesting so they announced the winners on the Friday of the second week of April last year? Anyone think there’s a chance they’ll do that this year?

That's interesting @CollegeSkiBum because my confirmation email didn't ask about insurance but rather about my program dates and verifying my financial aid amount. Like @Cheshirecaittand @Sarahpennies, my program also includes insurance and that might be why they're not asking me that. I'm not sure if it's a good or bad thing that we're being asked different things but I'm inclined (or hopeful in the power of God) to think that it's a good thing because it means they want to verify specific things about us individually which would be an odd thing to do this late if we weren't at least finalists or something. Also, they told me to confirm it to them by April 10th because they might have a few more questions which I'm also taking as a good sign because they would be cutting it really close verifying these details this late if we weren't finalists or something. I'm assuming all of this is their way of crossing their Ts and dotting their Is so they don't end up awarding it to someone who has some big issue or disqualifier.

Scholarship

Don't stress! They said they are spot checking so maybe something about mine was just unclear.

It's a budget confirmation! What country/region did you apply for?

I got an email from the Africa/Middle East group. Anyone else?

Did anyone get a second budget email who isn't in the Asia region group?

Damn I didn't get one lol. I applied for Israel, did anyone else from the same region get another email?
