  1. Any sense of when people might start hearing back from places?
  2. For what's it worth, I have heard that the best Slavic doctoral programs are the ones at Colombia, Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Stanford, Madison-Wisconsin, Ohio State and Berkley, which is more focused on theory than the others. Those are what a professor told me when I asked him about tier-one schools. I applied to several of these (in addition to Brown); already very anxious to hear back ...
  3. I spoke with Rita, and I thought it went well too! We generally talked about pretty basic stuff: teaching experience, potential locations, why Fulbright, my previous experience in Russia. I thought I generally handled the questions fine. I mean if the goal of the interview is to demonstrate that we have "basic skills" as the website suggests, I think it sounds like we all did that fine.
  4. Nice, nice! I have been pretty obsessive about the whole thing too, hah. Given statistics though, it looks like applicants to Russia often have a decent shot, relatively speaking. If you don't mind me asking, how do you think the whole interview went? Mine went well, I thought, but I couldn't tell what they were looking for necessarily. I don't think I dazzled them with my Russian, but isn't the whole point of the interview for Russia, at least as I understand it, to let them know (because of the language requirement) you can speak functionally. Just curious to hear your thoughts.
  5. Finally to meet some fellow Russian applicants! The only information I know is that someone over there informed me by "mid-April" we should be finding out. Well, it's mid-April now. When I first saw the 17th way back in February, I was pretty disappointed it was so late. Can't believe only ten days from now it will already be April 17th. I'm assuming we will hear back very soon. Did you guys apply for research or as ETAs? I applied for an ETA slot. Hopefully good news for us all around!
  6. Any one have any idea about Eurasia applicants? There's got to be a few ones out there. Historically, Russia applicants find out right about this time.
  7. Only have posted once before, albeit with the same request, but I wanted to try again! Anyone applying to Russia out there? Any info at all? Really starving for some answers... This forum, in many ways, has kept me sane. Even if my request doesn't apply to you, y'all are so thoughtful, motivated and encouraging. Thanks!
  8. Anyone else out there applied for a grant to Russia, ETA or research? Any idea what the competition this year looks like? Any inside info on dates, etc.?
