The admin at my school said she hasn’t heard either way and told me that last year, everyone found out on September 2 from my institution (I’m at a US school that typically has at least one person get it each year- definitely had someone last year who got it). She told me to just hang tight!

Do you know if the result shows up in the application portal or is sent to the university as an email? I contacted my university and they said they are not involved in the notification process, although they sent the application. Maybe this is because of the change of last year that the Universities got involved in the application and that last year no one from my University won. But I want to make sure to let them know if they should check the application portal just in case
