My son is in the same boat. It still said the same thing this afternoon when he checked before practice that it did early this morning ("Your application is at NETC for final processing and selection determination"). Since I don't know for sure whether his application was definitely reviewed for the November board (he may, I just don't happen to know), I am not sure if this means a) he is in the December board and his application hasn't actually been reviewed yet, b) he was boarded but is an alternate... or maybe c) he WAS in the November board but they're swamped with sending out emails and his last name is the end of the alphabet so we need to sit tight a couple more hours.If our students did not receive an email, does that mean they have been passed over for the scholarship? The portal just says a decision has not been made, but I understand that their application does not move from board to board. So, if they did not get notified, then......?
Note - if they have been "passed over" in this November board and not outright declined/rejected... then actually my understanding learned in this forum is that what happens is that all of these alternates will be reviewed again once all the boards are completed. And they will do their own board for all the alternates, giving as many scholarships for however many slots they had remaining combined from the previous boards. It is not the case - again based on what I have learned - that if your son is an alternate they will be boarded in December. If they're an alternate they won't be reviewed again til more like early spring once all the other boards wrap up. And if this is the case for my son I know that I will be grateful it wasn't an outright rejection because it isn't over til it's over but I am definitely taking up that knitting again lol.
