  1. But are there people in their 40's doing Fulbright ETA's? Can't help but feel like age-wise, there would be a fairly significant difference between research and ETA Fulbrights.
  2. Hey everyone, Does anyone have any data/ guesstimates about the average age of Fulbright ETA'ers? I'm 24 (will be 25 at start of the Fulbright, and worry a wee bit about feeling old). Subjective info is absolutely welcome as well. Thanks!
  3. Anybody here by chance apply for a "Special" (Spring) ETA Fulbright? Deadline was about a week ago or so... here back at the end of August!
  4. not sure about this, but hopefully somebody here has had a similar experience. Best of luck!!
  5. Ended up getting a pdf! For anyone that runs into the same issue, email Embark and they can help.
  6. Hi all, Do you guys still have access to your Fulbright app? I'm applying for a special ETA and it would be incredibly useful to be able to access my application, but can't seem to get it. I was given this link: https://apply.embark.com/student/fulbright/usa/29/, but when I try to access the application, I receive this message: "This application is no longer current. To access the most recent version of this application, please go to http://iie.embark.com/apply/usstudent. I don't get any further than that -- there's no account associated with the email that I used to apply last Fall, it looks like the two links are totally independent of each other. Any advice at all is welcome!
  7. afraid that i never even submitted the application. please, just let me hear back.
  8. According to the Hagakure: The Book of the Samurai, in Feudal Japan, samurai lived as if they were already dead so they wouldn't fear death. (Or at least that's what the movie Ghostdog said) I, too, take this approach. I have accepted Fulbright defeat, and as such, have room only for good news. The only direction is up.
  9. i haven't even tried antunes in portuguese yet tbh - sticking to authors that generally pay attention to grammar/narrative for the moment while i'm learning... lol. Let me know when you hear back!
  10. Lisbon. I'm working / teaching myself Portuguese part-time while waiting for my citizenship application to process... That's rad! Part of the reason I came is because I want to translate Lusitanian lit in the future. Saramago is great, but António Lobo Antunes is my favorite.
  11. hey, i live in portugal! Best of luck. What's your proposal about?
  12. I'm out data on my phone and I'll be playing basketball when the info arrives. Going to be awkwardly asking 16 year-olds if I can "borrow their phone to check something" every 15 minutes.
  13. If you're on the West Coast and still sleeping, consider yourself lucky. Out here in Europe trying to get along with the knowledge that I probably won't hear back until 8 or 9 PM. here.
  14. Gunna plan my exercising around the email tomorrow so if it's bad news, I can drown my sorrow in the leg machines. Either that or take a sad-nap. One of the two.
  15. Totally missed that. Thanks a bunch, super useful!
  16. Hey all, This is probably a bit of a strange question, but for those of you already in a PhD program, in the process of applying, have you come across any schools that focus heavily on literary criticism in a less... well... academic sense? Think Harold Bloom, except except the clear misogyny and apathy towards inclusivity/ irreverent love for Shakespeare. In essence, something that focuses more on lit-crit in the classical sense and less on specific pre-defined schools of literary criticism (like, for example, school A's program is known to be a hub of environmental lit-crit, school B is where all the post-colonialists go to study if they're lucky enough to get in, etc etc.)... I'm not bashing any of methods of approaching literature at all, but the longer I've spent out of my master's program in Comp Lit, the more I've started to value unacademic criticism. Thanks!
  17. Hey all, did anybody happen to apply for Brazil during this cycle? I've just (re)-noticed that the amount of available ETA's has dropped dramatically since 2015-2016. Anybody see this as well / have any idea why? Feeling particularly discouraged after running the percentages through my head... :X
  18. Hey, thanks for taking the time to respond. I'm not sure yet, but I would absolutely agree. Outside of academia, the distinction between the prestige of the two universities concerns me far more than the subject matter in the courses themselves, if that makes sense.
