  • Nicholl semi-fi letters?

    "Q. Could you offer a timetable as to when things happen in the Nicholl competition?

    A. ....

    late July -- all entrants are notified as to their status in the competition. Quarterfinalists are notified.

    late August -- Semifinalists are notified.

    early October -- Finalists are notified and asked to submit supporting materials.

    late October -- Fellowship recipients are notified and announced.

    mid-November -- Nicholl Awards Dinner. "


    Nu?

    Greg Beal is usually on top of communication if you drop him a PM or email, and I'm sure now that it's closer to "end of August" he can probably nail down a more specific date. I know it's hard to wait

    Good luck.

        The congratulatory and regret letters to the 245 Nicholl quarterfinalists seem to have been mailed on August 28 last year.

        I would expect that this year's letters will be sent on or about the same date.

          Letters mailed August 28th? That would be... tomorrow! Meaning that my letter will arrive in San Francisco on Thursday. Stress! (I now look forward to two agonized days of nail-biting/praying/mantra-chanting/appendage-crossing/ and candle-lighting.)

            Don't stress out too much. He said "on or about" the 28th. We might be able to push off depression an extra day or two.

              From my experience last year, I remember them going out this week (the week before Labor Day). Then some people (myself, an LA resident, included) had to agonize as some people received their letters BEFORE Labor Day while us poor schmoes had to wait through an anxiety-ridden long Post Office holiday.

              Ahh, contest season.
              Reaction time is a factor, so please pay attention.

                On the other hand, if they were mailed on August 28th last year and August 28th last year was a Monday and if they follow that same pattern it means the letters were mailed yesterday (Monday, the 27th). So that means -- in theory -- some people might get their letters TODAY!

                          An SF in SF! My happy news was in my San Francisco P.O. Box this morning. (And now the REAL knuckle-cracking, mantra-saying, praying to all gods, all religions, from the beginning of time going forward, begins.)
