  1. Program: MPP/MPA as well as International Development/IR Schools Applying To: John's Hopkins, Indiana-Bloomington, Columbia, Harvard, Princeton and Univ of Washington Undergrad Institution: Undergraduate GPA: 3.6 Undergraduate Major: Environmental Conservation GRE: Haven't taken yet. Years of Work Experience: ~1 Languages: Basic Spanish and Albanian Work Experience: Spent a summer interning for the U.S federal government in American Samoa working on environmental issues. About to start a Fulbright research grant in Kosovo looking at drought management Questions/Concerns: Need funding or some sort of scholarship to help with tuition. I am just curious to see how competitive I could be for some of these programs
  2. Hey, Apologies if this has been asked, but I will be applying for the 2017-2018 year. Do I need to apply to Universities as well as the NSF GFRP or are you basically a shoe-in if awarded the grant? Thanks
  3. How long after their initial email did everyone receive the letter in the mail from Fulbright? Curious to find out my dates and more logistics for next year
  4. Congrats!! Glad to hear it. See you at orientation in July!
  5. I'm rooting for you! Keep us posted
  6. HEEEYYYYOOOOOOOO!!!! Me too man! Congrats!! I'd say we start a group but I think its just us lol. I'm pumped
  7. Here you go: https://www.facebook.com/groups/fulbrightapplicants/
  8. Same. Someone from the Fulbright Applicant Facebook group said that IIE wanted to notify everyone by April 15th this year, although that looks unlikely to me based on how many of us are still waiting
  9. I'm looking at water conservation during times of drought. I'm hoping we find out ASAP since I need to make a decision about another opportunity within the next week or two
  10. I hope so too. I think they might, but I talked to someone with IIE and Balkan countries can give or take grant money to other countries so we are technically competing with everyone else who applied to the Balkans. This is just my impression though and my advisor's. Whats your project looking to research?
  11. This is hopefully the week for a lot of us. Good luck everyone
  12. I agree with this. Accept the Princeton Fellowship and back out if you need. Fulbright is never a sure bet for anyone and I would hate to see you reject the Princeton offer and get denied from Fulbright. Good luck with the decision and be proud you got accepted to Princeton in Africa. I've been looking into Princeton in Asia and it seems incredible
  13. If I get the Fulbright I would definitely take it. Seems like a once in a lifetime opportunity and I would love to carry out my research project. Where did you apply for the Fulbright? My country (Kosovo) usually sends notifications mid April as well so I know how you feel
  14. The waiting is beginning to wear on me. I just got a job working for the USDA in Hawaii and I have to let them know within a few weeks, so I am hoping we all find out ASAP. Anyone else in a similar position with a job offer or grad school?
