Now I think they have released a bunch of waitlists - but I only see US candidates. Wonder what's up with the internationals. Any internationals here who got an update on the portal?

If you are from South America, I would say you still have a fair chance. Btw, did you get an email asking you to check your portal? How did you get to know?
