  1. I was a Fulbright ETA Alternate - Portugal a couple of years ago, I will be applying for a Fulbright ETA - Greece this year! Good luck everyone!! I totally give you props, this will be my second year applying and it's just a matter of time before you get the much anticipated congratulatory email!
  2. I submitted a beginner application for Azerbaijani... G'luck all!
  3. Previous ETA Portugal Alternate Applying for ETA Greece this year! Good luck everyone!
  4. I'm thinking of applying next year, Turkish 2014... Any advice would be appreciated! busti@dusty.tamiu.edu Good Luck to those who applied!
  5. Hey All, First and foremost, I'd like to wish everyone applying for a Fulbright good luck!! I was an alternate for an ETA (Portugal) last year, if you'd like any help whatsoever... you can e-mail me at busti@dusty.tamiu.edu subject heading something with Fulbright so I don't think it's spam! Thanks!! Busti
  6. I'm totally curious how this ended?!?! I'm in the same boat, I'm interested in applying to American, NYU, SIT for Fall 2013 MA Int'l Ed.
  7. I like that idea... the informational interviews! I'm looking into NYU and American University... there's something about those two programs that I'm really liking. Worried about funding though, don't know how comfortable I am with taking out huge loans!
  8. Portugal! I'm still hoping to get an e-mail in the coming weeks that reads something like, "Due to increased funding, you are awarded a Fulbright grant!!" Hey, a guy can dream. How so? As someone who's halfway through a M. Ed program at Vanderbilt, what advice would you give someone looking for a graduate degree program in International Education. Are you happy with your choice, now realizing that it's a lot more MPP than M.Ed? I know a lot of prospective education graduate students are wanting a more policy-centered program... Did that play into your decision? Thanks for the reply!!
  9. Hey all! I'm a May 2010 graduate, BA Psych, and after taking two years off from university I think I've finally figured out what I'd like to pursue a graduate degree in... International Education! I first started contemplating an "International Relations" degree, but I wasn't liking the policy/government focus of many of the programs, shifted to a "International Communication" degree but wanted something more broad and applicable to a variety of careers and then I stumbled across "International Education!" I would eventually love to work at a university in a study abroad office, with an international non-profit, maybe a government program, something like Fulbright/Peace Corps... anyway, I have a few questions... 1. I don't have too much experience in "education," I've never taught and don't wish to teach, at least not now, would this be weird that I'm considering an education degree without this concrete, "teaching" experience... 2. I have no idea as far as "research interests" go... should I have a definite idea of research interests upon applying to grad schools? or would my "study abroad experience, international conferences, international studies certificate be enough to show an interest despite an education degree and a clear research interest) 3. I've spent some time looking at different programs and considering courses, tuition, location, degree program, internship requirement, etc... I'm really liking American University and New York University Int'l Ed programs, would it be difficult to get some sort of funding... are there other good, broad programs that aren't too policy focused? 4. Are there any national, fellowships in which someone in the education field could apply for? I applied for a Fulbright ETA this year and was just notified of my alternate status, is there something I could apply for and get funding to cover graduate expenses? I'm sorry for asking so many questions, but I'm just really wanting to pursue this graduate degree and feel that despite researching for two years there is still so much of the field and study that I know little about. Any and all help would be GREATLY appreciated... I would really like this thread to become a place of continual discourse for anyone interested in the international education field... I see y'all out there! Thank you!!!
  10. I haven't heard back, it's been... 3 days, so I'm keeping hope alive just a little longer.
  11. Here's hoping for more funding for all the alternates out there!!!
  12. I see that in 2010 - 2011 a Portugal ETA Alternate was later accepted for an ETA in Morocco... Anyone know why something like this would happen? A little bummed out about this semi-rejection e-mail, but glad to be a part of this wonderful group!
  13. Portugal ETA Alternate. Here's hoping for more funding! Good luck everybody!
  14. THANKS!! What would I do without y'all?!?
