  1. I still applied through my school. (I think it's required when you're enrolled and not an alumni.) But my primary academic recommender, who is also a previous Fulbright winner, said that evaluations do carry weight and I may have to live with a no. In my case, I felt that the committee had made up their minds before giving me a chance and I don't know why. I hope they still gave you a decent evaluation! Do you know what it was? But regardless, I wouldn't give up hope. At least our applications are in! Good luck!!
  2. Thank you for the response. Nerves definitely played a role, and a lot of points I could have said to make my case and win the committee over I wasn't able to articulate. I was so nervous that when one of the interviewees spoke to me in German I couldn't say anything. So it was a combination of both. It didn't help that I don't have a faculty from my new school involved with the project, it's primarily my professor from undergrad. The person I spoke with said the committee doesn't recommend I apply this year; however, if I choose to apply I can still apply through the school. So yes, I think they will still endorse me. I made a lot of changes that were suggested. I don't feel confident about applying anymore, but I will still apply! Thank you!
  3. Good luck! Yes, someone from the fellowship committee spoke with me directly this Friday. Thank you, I will apply. I'm already feeling so discouraged about getting it though.
  4. Hi All, I am hoping for some advice. My grad school's Fulbright campus committee is not giving me a strong evaluation. I thought my application was strong, but they didn't think it was competitive and the interview didn't go as well as I hoped. I have worked really hard on the application. I am a new student at my current school and my affiliation letter and recommendations was all with the help of my undergraduate school. However, as I am a new grad student I thought I have to apply through school I am enrolled in and cannot apply at large? How much will this evaluation hurt my application? Should I wait until next year to apply? ps. I'm applying for the Fulbright to Austria. Research/Study
