Not Recommended Full - UK Congrats to everyone else!!!

Anyone else having a hard time remembering what's real and what's just a dream? I woke up this morning, slightly morose, thinking that I had already been rejected...then I recalled "oh, yea, I haven't even heard back yet..." I may be going insane...

This is from the UK Fulbright Awards Twitter Page: UKFulbrightAwards ‏@FulbrightAwards 9,348 applications received from US students for this year's#Fulbright awards - looking forward to reading the ones for the UK this winter! https://twitter.com/FulbrightAwards Just scroll down to 17 October. So 9,348 total applications.

What happens if you both get it?

I love how the number of users reading this thread has increased so much today. At least we know we're all in the same boat and in good company. Best of luck to everyone :-)

Just wanted to thank you guys for answering my question about dependents a few pages back (I made the mistake of listing my emergency contact's dependents (i.e. my mom's) instead of my own info). I ended up calling and found out that they don't consider that information at this point in the process - called twice to get different opinions and both times was reassured that "the committee doesn't even look at that part of the application at this stage." Was also informed that we'll hear back by mid-January "for sure"...the woman seemed pretty certain about it. Regarding applicants where an interview is required: What's the point in hearing whether or not you've been recommended if you don't even receive an interview? I'm sure countries have already decided who they wish to interview. I'm curious to know if it'd be better to just get out-right rejected next week rather than get a "you've been recommended" email, but a couple days later receive no interview invite.

Hi everyone, I was looking over my submitted application and on the "Personal Information" page where you list your emergency contact and, right below it, "dependents", I think I made a HUGE mistake. I listed my mother as an emergency contact and then when they asked about marital status and number of children, I listed my mom's information...were they asking for MY dependents? I feel like such an idiot and almost like I shot my chances. My school didn't mention anything when they reviewed my application...I just wanted to know if I was supposed to list my dependent information or my parents'? Thanks!
