Not selected for research in India. Congratulations to those who are selected, and good luck to those still waiting to hear back. Thanks for being such a supportive forum.

I got the big one too!!!!

Yay Congrats! What a great way to start the week!

Congraultations to all the new Fulbrighters!!! This is awesome!

Yay!!!! Congratulations, so happy for the good news!!!!

Jumping on the bandwagon here, definitely children's books, music, and movies help when immersion isn't possible. Also: old fashioned flash cards, especially if you have to learn a different script!

At a minimum, perhaps that means USIEF (the corresponding agency in India) has started looking at our applications? I think it is probably neutral if you included scanned versions via interfolio with your initial application. In the e-mail we received when we were notified of being recommended, there is a link to a website http://us.fulbrightonline.org/information-for-recommended-candidatesthat says that failure to submit your official transcripts could delay your final notification. So, I don't think it will have any bearing on their actual decision? Best of luck, I'm applying to India for research too!

Yeah I think the applicants to India are going to be lucky to hear by the 20th! Usually it looks like notifications in the past five years start around then and can go as late as mid-April, although maybe we'll hear sooner since recommendation notifications went out 1-2 weeks early? Yes? Probably not. Sigh.

From the Fulbright e-mail saying I was recommended: "IIE must receive these transcripts by February 20, 2015. Transcripts must be in the original sealed envelope as issued by the Registrar’s office." I think that it's a "no news is good news" situation and that they only say something if they did not receive your transcripts.

Morning y'all. Thought I would go ahead and repost the link to the spreadsheet since it's 5 pages back. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1AlU2xDiiVhQjK3quPy6qXJuhgXYghzzG8L4YNT0unX0/edit#gid=536144359 Incase refreshing your inbox gets old, here is another page to reload haha. Hope someone gets some good Fulbright news today!

I am even periodically checking my spam folder, which is silly, but you never know!!!!! I don't want to miss anything.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

CONGRATULATIONS! That's awesome!!!

I have an anthropology related proposal to India, nice to see another applicant and best of luck!!
