I had the ACTs on Saturday so coming home to this was exciting. The big packet included papers regarding the trip [some that needed to be signed/filled out and sent back], the  NSLI-Y Korea Student Handbook, a parent handbook, and a Korean for Beginners book! The envelope says that it cost over 5$ to send this to me... Wow! Haha~

YES, THAT IS RIGHT. I WILL BE GOING TO SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA THIS SUMMER. I received an email on March 31st notifying me that I have been selected to receive the NSLI-Y scholarship! I literally was running around my house screaming [no one was home] after I read it. Someone had posted in the Facebook group that they had gotten their email, so I basically was just sitting on my iPad refreshing my email.... AFTER 5 TIMES MY EMAIL WAS THERE!!

Therefore, I am writing the second part of 'The Interview' for people that feel the same way I felt when I was going through this.  Disclaimer: This will probably be long and I will probably end up blabbing about something not very significant. ALSO, your interview will not go exactly like ...

THERE WILL BE TWO SEPARATE POSTS ABOUT THE INTERVIEW One containing preparation&interview tips and such for future applicants/semifinalists  One talking about my personal interview experience -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------        I know when I was preparing for my interview I was looking for blogs with interview tips and watching videos where others talked about their interview experience, so I thought that I would write for future applicants about my experience because I'm sure you all are interested in how things work and how to prepare! The "tips" will be in bold by the way so you can easily find them if you don't want to read all this .
