  1. lovely
  2. Haha, I'm sure you do not have to be extraordinary to be selected... you just need to have a strong desire to visit/ to be a cultural ambassador in your country and have some experience, of course.
  3. I hate calling IIE because every time I do (two weeks later) Eileen tells me, "you should find out in about 2 weeks."
  4. Chamomile is the best.
  5. Cool. If you'd like to add your info to the spreadsheet, it would be awesome. People applying next year would be satisfied to see know when Chile applicants were notified: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AmoTe-gJd4B9dFJ0aW1mYTVkYnhKcUEzR28yRTNwdlE&pli=1#gid=1
  6. Can all the forumers who have not entered their info about recommendation, acceptance, alternate status or rejection please add it to our spreadsheet? https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AmoTe-gJd4B9dFJ0aW1mYTVkYnhKcUEzR28yRTNwdlE&pli=1#gid=1 Thanks
  7. Anyone new to the forum applying for a grant for Spain?!
  8. Those are my thoughts exactly. Making everyday "that day" builds anxiety. Well, at least, that's the case with me.
  9. Yes, patience is the best thing. The results will come within a month. We should all relax; even though anyone may find out today or tomorrow.
  10. Yeah, I noticed the same thing for Spain.
  11. Yes, you have to realize that the number is most likely so small because Universities like this choose the best candidates. This means that the student must be a graduating senior (of course), and he/she must stand out in some ways. I think that 140 applicants for this school is the right number because even applying for these grants in schools like this may be competitive (within the university). As you see from this link, even when there are 60-100 people applying 10-35 people are selected. It would probably be a huge deal if one school had double the amount of applicants for an academic year. The FPA does need to focus only on an amount he/she can handle. I'm sure that in schools like that some students are weeded out even before the proposal-writing process. In my school, there are usually only 8-12 that apply each year. I think that I'm the only one that was recommended.
  12. Yes, this is understandable. I suppose I am less nervous. I am awaiting an answer, but not on pens and needles as I was before recommendation.
  13. As you know that this is the only Fulbright forum, I will join in conversation when there is some true notification. Thank you for letting me know of my options.
  14. There is no harm in random conversations. I am very calm, but more annoyed than anything else. I will certainly stop checking this site until there is real news.
  15. People are talking about everything other than Fulbright material. This is truly nonsense. Others will assume there is some sort of breakthrough.
  16. ... 30 posts of nonsense. My inbox blew up for no apparent reason. I hope everyday is not like this.
  17. It's fine. We all feel pretty much the same way in terms of our readiness to hear an answer.
  18. Gosh, buddy. We said this 24 hours ago.
  19. This year's group of applicants are a chatty bunch; I love this.
  20. Is anyone else applying to Spain for an ETA or a Full Grant?
  21. What sucked about it?
  22. Indonesia.
  23. Yeah, I totally agree. It's just that every day should not be a constant panic for some post/ers in my opinion.
  24. If we keep this up, we'll make every day seem extra important. It's a waste of time... this thread blew up with at least 15 posts before there was a notification for the Austria Fulbrighter. I see 20 notifications about new posts, and the majority of the conversations are "I hope today is the day..." like every day. I'm not a very patient guy, but waiting patiently is the most sensible thing to do in my opinion.
  25. It's synonymous to GPA... Just kidding, FPA stands for "Fulbright Program Adviser."
