My grant authorization can by snail mail like 2 weeks after I received my selection email. However, everything else can by email pretty sporadically after that.

Hey everyone I have a quick question. For those of you selected to do research in a country with its own commission, should we have received a country-specific terms and conditions form? Or, do we use the general one located on IIE's website? I'm asking because I received a grant authorization from Japan but no terms and conditions form. Thanks!

Thats weird because I was able to register....

Hey everyone! I've been trying to find a way to reach out to other students who were given a Fulbright to Japan....but I haven't had much luck. Should I just make a FB page and just hope that some eventually finds it lol. Its really frustrating, I have tried searching on twitter, FB, and even Tumblr for anyone who has announced there grant status.

Hey everyone! Would anyone be interested in starting a Facebook group for people going to Japan? If so, feel free to send my a message! And congrats to everyone who was been accepted thus far!

I know that at least for Japan, there wasn't an interview. I have also heard that not all countries that have interviews require all applicants to do one.

Congrats!!!

Thank you everyone! This forum has been so good to me over the past few months and I hope to hear more good news for everyone else going forward!

I just found out that I was named as a Principle candidate to do public health research in Japan! My notification status was in the email heading (P). I'm so excited I can hardly type!!!

Are you learning Korean and Chinese at the same time? Thats sound really cool, but also pretty hard lol. Besides Japanese, I would love to be able to speak Korean one day, but the thought of learning 2 Asian languages at once sounds difficult. I also really agree that you can't be afraid to make mistakes. When I studied abroad in Japan, as a perfectionist, I would often shy away from speaking to natives because of the fear of making a fool of myself (even though I still managed to do that a few times lol). Once of my goals going forward will definitely be to put myself out there more often.

I just received a fellowship to study Japanese at Middlebury Language School so my Fulbright Adviser told me to email the regional coordinator (Johnathan Akeley (sp?) in my case) to briefly inform him. However, this is directly related to my qualifications to conduct my project. Thus, I would only email them if the Dean's Medalist award speaks to your ability to conduct your project.

In an attempt to distract everyone from the lack of notifications, I would be curious to learn which programs have a language requirement and everyone's thoughts about the best way of learning foreign languages.

Hey, I just sent Mr. Akeley the same email (except asking about Japan) and he hasn't responded yet. When did you send your email?

If we are being notified by the NY office, then I would assume that notifications would stop after 5pm when the office closes.

Do you have a Fulbright Adviser? Maybe you could ask him or her what you should do in this circumstance?
