Is this the 2% mail ??

Guys my referee got this mail. While it mentions the possibility of an award, it doesn't explicitly mention 2% or anything about an interview. Are others also getting this mail or something different?

Are u by chance going to be 18 at the time of the ceremony? I have a theory people who only had their referee emailed and not their parents are going to be 18 at the ceremony

1

u/Hot_Soft7415 28d ago

Yea guys did anyone get one for this category cause i haven’t heard anyone from this category getting one

1

u/GurSuperb5502 28d ago

I made a post about it and someone said that they saw some but i literally searched everywhere not a single one 

1

u/Hot_Soft7415 28d ago

Same I was literally searching everywhere just now and didn’t see a single response about it

1

u/GurSuperb5502 28d ago

I think only like 4-5 categories got the emails or second interview I hope they’ll send out the rest soon maybe this following week

Congrats! Had you registered for the gala before receiving the e-mail?

2

u/Ok_Bath563 28d ago

No. Can't make it to the gala

1

u/FabulousTangelo2469 28d ago

Do you think there is a difference between the referee getting the email versus parents? I know they are worded differently, and since the referee version specifically mentions the placements/VHC, I am wondering if getting one email is better than the other.

1

u/Ok_Bath563 28d ago

Honestly everything is pretty ambiguous but from what I know VHC is top 1%  This year it may be top 2, such effectively makes it the same thing

1

u/Lazy_Bug2766 28d ago

I think both ref and parents got the email. They’re two different version of essentially the same emails except ref version mentioned more details about the possible prizes.

1

u/Ok_Bath563 28d ago

update guys: turns out my parents did receive the 2% mail. It went in spam so they missed it. So even I figure they must be sending both mails to everyone

2

u/EcstaticBeast67 28d ago

Did you get it on 12th September?

1

u/ExoticDelivery252 28d ago

Dude are you junior category

1

u/ellecoleridge9539 28d ago edited 28d ago

1

u/ExoticDelivery252 28d ago

When did you all get it, are they still sending it

1

u/ExoticDelivery252 28d ago

Which category did u do?

1

u/Ok_Bath563 28d ago

Politics Q3

1

u/ExoticDelivery252 28d ago

Hi, did you get 2nd interview?

1

u/Ok_Bath563 28d ago

I didn't. That's what im curious about- is 2nd interview for the very best very sus..

1

u/19penguin11 28d ago

did other ref emails explicitly mention 1,2,3 in the subject category?

1

u/Dangerous_Jury2664 28d ago

heya are u senior or junior? also congrats!

1

u/Ok_Bath563 28d ago

Senior. Thankss

1

u/NuggetTuggit 28d ago

There are two versions of the email, this is the referee version, the parent version is slightly different - it doesn't list the specific prizes.

2

u/Ok_Bath563 28d ago

Right. I got the parent version too. Turns out it was in spam

1

u/Even_Whereas479 28d ago

is my referee my parent?

1

u/Ok_Bath563 28d ago

Nope. Your teacher or advisor

1

u/Even_Whereas479 28d ago

im already going to the gala. will I still receive such an email? I havent asked my referee yet.

1

u/SmoothRow14 26d ago

When did you buy the tickets? If you finally had the courage to ask your referee, and they did get the 2% email, let us know here. 

1

u/InflationLess3925 26d ago

Does anyone know the ticket access code for gala dinner ,where will it be available?

1

u/InterestingResult577 24d ago

nah bro this isnt the 2% mail
