shakuton Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 Bangla semifinalist! I felt really good about my application, so I'm glad it worked out. Seems like an interesting year, a lot of NSLI-Y and CLS alumni/friends I know were all rejected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
betamaz Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 Out of curiosity, are the semifinalist informational videos a new thing they added this year, or have they done it in recent years as well? When I first did CLS in 2018, we didn't get anything in between semi and finalist notifications lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the first time these videos have been sent out in that time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see why they would send them out to make the paperwork process after finalist notifications go more smoothly, but I also definitely got a mini heart attack every time I saw CLS show up in my inbox lol socrytes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be abroad when I get the results. Does anyone know if I can do the medical evaluation abroad ? Congrats on reaching semifinalist and good luck! So to answer your question, I looked back at the medical forms from when I first did CLS and it looks like the main requirement is that the person doing your medical eval has to be a "licensed physician (M.D. or D.O.), licensed Physician's Assistant (P.A.) or licensed Nurse Practitioner (N.P.)" so I think as long as whoever you get it done by falls in this category, you should be fine to do the eval abroad. If you're worried though, I'm sure you can email CLS to double check! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
betamaz Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 Notifications just dropped! I'm an alternate for Korean - hoping I'll be bumped up, but if not I'm glad to have made it this far LOL. How did everyone else do?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forp Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 So, I have been awarded a finalist position (yay!) but it starts the same day as I'm supposed to be in my best friend's wedding. They say there is no flexibility (boo) so I'm afraid I may have to decline the award. Has anyone declined and then reapplied and made it as a finalist again?? I know they say it doesn't effect future applications but I'm still worried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know they say it doesn't effect future applications but I'm still worried. I know several people who've reapplied after declining and received finalist status. It's if you accept and drop out then it might impact you negatively. What language are you a finalist for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forp Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 Thanks @shakuton! Fingers crossed for next year. I was accepted to Arabic. Glad that my declining means someone else now gets the opportunity to go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anonimo_21 Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 i’m an alternate for hindi. does anyone know what the waitlist movement is like, how big it is, how likely it is to be promoted etc. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in the same boat as an alternate! So as far as I know, there are usually at least a few alternates bumped up in most cohorts. It's impossible to guess the likelihood of getting promoted though - it's based on maintaining diversity in the cohort, so for example if someone drops they'd try to replace them with someone from the same state, major, or other similar background. Hopefully the first round of alternate bumps will happen soon - best of luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
