I'm located in Maryland..... literally 25min from DHHS in Rockville so thats why I got my letter so quickly. I got my email July 14 (the first round) but I'm sure that doesnt mean anything. My ratio is above 150%. I know quite a few people who received the award in previous years and got emails and letters at different times. Unfortunately the letter doesnt resemble anything from Hogwarts...lol; just your standard white envelope.
