I know it's early to be asking this question, but is anyone else waiting this month to hear from DYS?

Good luck! We heard on the last day of the month last month....it was a hard couple of weeks.

I'm waiting too! I'm nervous because I had his piano teacher write his nomination form. He's just barely six and I didn't have anyone else to write it. His scores are all well above the cutoffs, so hopefully that's enough! I could really use their advice. We are homeschooling next year and I have I have no idea what to do with him! I thought his achievment scores would help me figure it out, but it actually made me more confused about how to homeschool him. I hope we both get good news soon!

KADmom and Heather, I am keeping my fingers crossed for you!

Heather, check your messages.

Thanks for the good wishes, everyone, and good luck to you and your ds, Heather!

I am waiting this month.
Heater123 what's wrong with music teacher? We asked friend of the fmily for recommendation.

Good luck, SVdev!

I think we'll hear today...

Good luck!

I hope we hear today!

SVdev- I don't think there is anything "wrong" with his music teacher writing the recommendation. Based on what I've read, they aren't really looking for advanced musical ability or talent as much as academic ability.

Good luck to everyone waiting to hear!

I PMd you, Heather123.

Best of luck!

Did you hear?? gL!

Not yet. Blessedmom, I pm'd you...

What is pm'd??

Private messaged. There should be a flashing envelope icon at the top of your page. If you click on that, you'll see my message.

How long did it take to get the official enrollment email to set up the Consultant phone call and DYS login activated after acceptance?

It was about a month for the consultation to get set up for me, and I turned in the enrollment form right away. Te login was about 3 weeks. Congrats!

Yes, three weeks to get set up with passwords etc, and another week after that for our consultant to contact us. We still haven't had a meeting yet, but that's because we went away for two weeks. I'm looking forward to talking with her soon.

We went through the same thing - it takes a while to get things squared away about 6 weeks in DDs case.

We applied for the Aug 1st deadline.
I was just re-reading the qualifications and I think I misunderstood previously... The way I am reading it now, only ONE of the tests has to be within the last two years? (if that is true, I guess I didn't need to sweat a 'portfolio'). Oh well!
So, is it safe to say people usually hear at THE END of the month? And also, do you hear either way? (do they tell you if you didn't make it??) Thanks!

Yes, they tell you if you don't make the cut, or if they want to see more material before they decide.

Hi, hjb. We heard on the last business day of July and it wsn't until the end of the day ET. I'm certain I read that they respond either way.

Good luck!!

Thanks ya'll! I guess if we get a reject, I can resubmit with the one current and one old test next month?

DS 7 was accepted! Yay!

Congratulations!

Congratulations! Just to let you know it takes about a month to get everything set up.

Thank you!

accepted!

Congrats!

Congrats, hjb!
