Even during the years when semi finalist notifications came out late, the time after that stays pretty consistent. If it goes into March that will be longer than usual, but nothing is impossible. I know literally nothing about funding for these programs, when it set aside, how it is determined, and who sets the priorities for when/who/why scholarships are handed out. I tried to learn more about that but every link takes you to some sort of public relations type explanation of the program(s) that tells you basically nothing in 1000 words or more.

_KITE Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Well, I guess since this is the last full week of February, it could be this week? Otherwise they'd be late. I'll call next Tuesday if we don't hear anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has a big impact on whether or not I take a summer course to finish my masters or I have to cram in a directed study between spring and CLS to achieve the same end. mrs12 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrs12 Posted February 20, 2017 Author Share Posted February 20, 2017 This week is pretty likely. And I empathize with you, @UnawareInGeneral, these things always seem to be staggered unequally with other hugely important decisions and deadlines.

susurrus Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 I'm so excited! I hope they come out soon, I have to confirm my summer plans by March Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrs12 Posted February 23, 2017 Author Share Posted February 23, 2017 @hobakie, what time did your notification go out in 2015? Mine came at around 4 PM EST last year. And also, has anyone else tried to log into the CLS portal? I'm getting some weird results on there, and I wonder if that means it's been updated for the latest finalists? Particularly when I look at the CLS Accepted Students Portal, which has always been there for me because I was previously accepted, the little blurb at the top has now changed.

saltpeep Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 I think they updated their site: "Applicants will be notified of final decisions about their selection by early March, 2017. " http://www.clscholarship.org/faqs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnawareInGeneral Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 @mrs12 there doesn't seem to be much of a change in the login page for me. I've never applied before however, so I don't know anything about what an accepted Student page would look like after they release results. Well, I say nothing has changed. I had not logged into that thing since submitting the application in early November so... maybe I just don't remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

babocheoreom Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 I couldn't wait so I called the office....they said the decisions will be released any time between the "End of Feb. and the beginning of March". It was definitely the "official" statement and the person was not giving me any hints. Based on the timeline of past years it seems like we should be notified this week but the official statement makes it seem like it could easily be next week (fingers crossed for this week though!!!!!!)

_KITE Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 (edited) I'm really feeling late next week sometime. March 10th the latest, y'know? I felt like this would be the case, just based on how it was last year. Edited February 24, 2017 by bbuddhab1213 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnawareInGeneral Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 (edited) Dunno why it should go into mid-march, they got the first round notifications out on time, taking weeks longer than normal is confusing. I suppose it's just three working days shy of late February being BS though. Edited February 24, 2017 by UnawareInGeneral Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lishutochka Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 I seriously doubt that they will go into mid-March. They have no precedent for doing so -- it seems that in past years, the latest they've notified is Feb 25 -- and in their email, it did say "at the end of February." Also, I'm really frustrated that it's taking so long because I need to respond to an internship offer, and my response is contingent on CLS.

Eh well last year or 2015, one of the two, it went well into March actually. But those folks didn't get first round notifications until early February, so it made sense that the second stage would take x amount of time longer. But we heard on what, Jan 18? I just can't see it going that far unless they are down to one person at State slowly working through every single application. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
