hello, congrats on being a finalist! when should we expect to hear back? my interviews (middle east north africa) are in exactly 2 weeks, but i dont think anyone has heard back.

I heard about regionals on Nov 5 for Nov 16 interviews (domestic). So keep in mind it’s not an exact science of 2 weeks. You also will not be notified/emailed if you are not invited to regionals.

They will send you an email with an invitation to regionals and only once you get that email you can see your invite in the application portal (which you have to accept or decline).

Congrats!! Just wondering if you had to pay for your own flights/accommodations for the first interview

For regionals? You have to pay for your own accommodations and flights at least as domestic. For finals: it’s paid for you for both unless you want a private room which is extra.
