German ETA - Alternate
I was prepared to hear this and have some other satisfying opportunities, however it certainly would have been thrilling if things had gone the other way.
Congratulations on the good news kmkshrader and social14!
Hi lalakey -- i was a finalist but did not receive the award when I applied a few years ago. :-/ Hoping for a different outcome this time, but I definitely feel you.
German ETA folks -- did you receive an email regarding regional preference this year? I was recommended but did not receive any sort of email requesting regional preference, I simply assumed the process had changed. Can someone confirm?
Ah yes, the waiting has become painful.
I'm curious, does anyone know why the ask for our transcripts again. Is it just to validate our graduation? I assume they have already ranked and sent out our recommendations long before they receive our transcripts in NYC.
