  1. Hi y'all -- just want to make a plug for Illinois State University's MFA. We're a fully funded 3 yr interdisciplinary program and have a Feb 1 deadline for applications. I used this page extensively in 2014-2015 when I applied to ten MFA programs. The freak out forums are both wildly helpful and anxiety-inducing. I graduated from the University of Michigan in 2017 and now have a TT job at ISU. I'd be happy to answer questions about either program, or even applying to grad programs in general. Good luck everyone!
  2. Being a TT professor is not easy, nor is it an easy path to employment. I got lucky. I'm responding as a 2017 MFA Grad who accepted a TT job in Video Art in 2020. Please feel free to message me.
  3. Hi all! Just a friendly note that I spoke with my FPA this morning. Ireland applicants: do not apply for the open-research award unless your host institution (if not listed on list of affiliates already) can pay $10,000 to the Fulbright program for you to come. Irish commission has no money. I will not be re applying this year because of this.
  4. YEAH!!!!! Congrats congrats congrats!!!
  5. Also semi-finalist for Ireland research! What is your proposed topic?
  6. Don't look too deep into it. They request official transcripts from each and every semi-finalist. Regardless of whether you are ultimately a non--select, alternate, or finalist.
  7. Are you looking at this sheet? https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Cd86U9AreH9k_-WKLKnLCLn_C5MC3FKvZZ9RhlqSAq4/edit#gid=2001832949
  8. Yes, please do tell us where you applied. Are you ETA? Research? Ireland didn't notify until April 10 last year so I'm not holding my breath for any notification until April 1.
  9. Any other Ireland research applicants out there?
  10. Hm, the wording is what is interesting here. My gut tells me the language used to describe a country's choice to the ECA isn't called a notification, they would call it a decision...we are the ones who receive "notifications". My gut also tells me that March 1 is very soon and judging by past calendars, the ECA will not have their business together by March 1. What country are you interviewing with? Thank you for sharing this potential info. For others that have to interview, were countries prompt about scheduling?
  11. Hopefully, yes! Make sure you update your line on the spreadsheet. Congrats on your recommendation to semi-finalist! I hope you find all the monies to study.
  12. I think it depends on the job. Personally, I would not tell my employer until I knew I received the award.
  13. Last year, I know there were at least four semi finalists for the one open research award in Ireland. It probably depends on the country/number of applications.
  14. So interesting that FPAs communicate with you guys--- maybe Michigan is too big of a school but I don't hear a peep from them outside of a generic email in early January with the 30th info! I hope we all receive great news. Friendly reminder that Fulbright is super competitive and the status of a proposal has NO bearing on your self worth. Many of us will have to apply multiple times to get to a semi-finalist round, and many more to get the award. You are smart! And resilient! And your ideas are worth pursuing. I say this as an artist and we get lots (LOOOOOOOTS) of "No Thank You's" every month.
  15. You might search for Luxembourg on past year forums to see if someone shared the information there.
  16. I didn't notice that, no. From previous application experience, I'd assume that we won't be notified of the first round any earlier than previous years. Slow as molasses!
  17. Has anyone found the document that contains panelist names for this round? I'm applying to Ireland in Installation Art and last year, I was able to locate the names of those who pushed my proposal onto semi-finalist round (the American panelists) but haven't had any luck this year.
