It's still very early days, but do you know where abouts you would like to move to? It's definitely easy to meet people in places like NYC that are so dense. But regardless of where you go - I found on both my trips to the US (6 weeks in L.A. and 2 months in NYC) it was very easy to talk to...
You never know, you still might get in with the 2015 CN :) But that 2016 CN is a pretty good shot! Given past trends, it seems anyone <1000 should feel pretty safe?
Wow what crazy luck! Especially in the AF region - I would think the odds of that happening would be even smaller with so many participants!!!
Congratulations to all the other winners! Looking forward to this journey with all of you :D
omg I'm so excited!!! After all that speculation I'm so excited to finally have confirmation!!
After also being one of those getting that bloody 'timed out' message, I 'have been randomly selected.' Extremely happy with my CN as well.... 2016OC000003xx. But pretty lucky there's only 84,000...
Except that people are also checking their results not only on different browsers, but different technology - e.g. computer and iPhone - only to have the same message come up repeatedly.
The difference is that there are some people who are ONLY seeing the 'time out' message. They've never gotten anything else. No 'not selected,' no nothing.
Have they tried retrieving their confirmation details again through the confirmation retriever then using that? They're most likely just making some simple mistake entering their details.
This is true, many people are seeing the timed out message and nothing else. It's also important to note that a lot of people probably timed out when the website was initially overloaded when the results first became available.
Exactly! We just wanna know if we're winners or losers so we can move on with our lives. :D I'm hoping this'll be sorted in the next couple of days, but who knows. At least the KCC seem to be aware of this 'time out' issue now.
Yup, I've checked mine at 4 different times of the day - on my phone and on my computer. The technology/time is making no difference. Same time out message.
As frustrating as it is repeatedly getting this "session timed out" messaging (still am as of just checking again a few mins ago) and not even knowing for sure what the status of my entry is, you do have to have a laugh about the whole thing! :) I hope they see your comment, BritSimon!
I'm having the same trouble as a few of you when entering my details - I just get this:
It's quite frustrating! I guess we can only hope there's some glitch happening - but who knows, only time will tell! Sorry to hear of everyone who got the DREAD 'NOT SELECTED' message :(
Very interesting, thank you! A few years ago many OC contestants may not have thought the US was a more desirable place to live, but that seems to be changing by what you've said. If the chance of an OC contestant being selected is 1 in 20, I wonder how much greater the odds are of your...
It's probably gonna depend on how many selectees there are this year. The cut off for DV2014 was <1450, we'll have to wait and see what it ends up being for DV2015. Hopefully it ends up being a little higher since there weren't as many selectees for that year as there were in the year prior.
