The application was definitely a learning process! I already know of many things I can do differently and while disappointing, the denial isn't discouraging this time around. I hope my FPA doesn't mind me bothering her about next year so early

Thanks! Good luck in the next round!

Not recommended Congrats to everyone who made it through and best of luck in the next round!!! My plan now is to postpone my graduation date to study abroad in Heidelberg so that I can be more prepared to reapply in the fall...either way I get to go to Germany so I guess there is a silver lining!

Yes!!

I heard from a friend that is in Korea on an ETA that someone else applying for Korea this year has already heard but as far as anyone on here, I don't think so.

I am about to go to class and then I have to work at my internship until 5pm so hopefully I will be too busy to think about it! (yeah, right...)

Here's to another day of impatiently waiting!

I really hope it comes early in the morning, I don't think I can handle another full day of this tomorrow!

Damn!

Do you think if you log into your application it will have anything different on it by now, if they have already decided?

I'm pretty sure it is all done on EST

I would guess 7. It seems like everything I have read says that the notifications have come between 6 and 7.

I am an ETA applicant so I may have another day like today, tomorrow. Good luck, third time is a charm!

Was it a Thursday or Friday when you found out last year?

S/O to the person that gets to be the first to post that they have received their email!

I'm applying to Germany as well! Good luck! I haven't seen many of us on here.

My routine in all of my classes today: *checks grad cafe* *checks email* *checks grad cafe* *checks email* *reloads email* *looks up at professor for less than a minute* Repeat...

I'm going to be so jealous of all of the full grant applicants if they find out today and I have to wait until tomorrow!

Yes, I am an ETA applicant. I have not read the email that was sent to the FPAs so it is possible that she misinterpreted. That would be really awesome if she did misinterpret and we find out today!

Here is a copy of the email: Good morning – We have been notified that the Fulbright National Screening Committee results will be distributed tomorrow, Friday, January 18th by the end of the day. It is not clear what end of the day means, but probably 5:00 p.m. EST since the results are coming out of NYC. You will receive an email so be sure to check the email account that you provided on your Fulbright application. The email will tell you whether or not you have been recommended. Please note: Recommendation indicates that the applicant will receive further consideration by the host country, the FSB and the Department of State. It is not an award notification. If you are recommended, you will then receive a review from the host country and will be notified in the spring, likely between March and May, whether or not you have been awarded a Fulbright grant. If you are not recommended to be reviewed by a host country, then your application will not be considered further. Although I am supposed to receive an email with your results as well, that system was very spotty last year so please contact me when you receive your notification. My fingers are crossed for all of you. Thank you for your tremendous hard work and good luck.

Hi all! I just received an email from my campus advisor that we will be finding out tomorrow, by the end of the day!

For anyone applying for an ETA in Germany: If interested, I believe this is the form we will be filling out for the next step.Hopefully only 5 more days to go! http://www.kmk-pad.org/fileadmin/Dateien/download/vb/ausland/A-D_Bewerbungsbogen_1314_mit_Ausfuellfunktion.pdf

From what I've read about past notifications, I'm guessing we could find out next Thursday, the 17th (like a few of you all have already said!) Here's to hoping that is the case! Good luck everyone! This wait is the worst, I can only imagine how terrible the wait for the second round notifications will be for those of us who are lucky enough to move on!

Hi, I don't think I included all of my information in my email to you. I am applying through my university (University of Kentucky).

anyone applying to Germany want to exchange contact info?
