UK folks, my FPA just sent me the following... apparently she just got it via the National Association of Fellowships Advisors listserv:
Hello all,
Just a quick message to update you on the Fulbright Postgraduate Award selections for the UK...
We are finalising our shortlist at the moment, in conjunction with our University partners. Telephone interviews with the Commission will be scheduled to occur between 21-18th February. We aim to contact applicants by Thursday, February 14thto invite them to interview. As in previous years we may not call all short-listed candidates to interview.
Once interviews are completed we will be in a position to put out our press release to announce the new cohort of US Fulbright Postgraduate Students. We anticipate that this information will be available on our Website by early/mid March.
I don't know about you, but this makes me feel so much better. It looks like interviews this year will be later than they ever have been for the UK.
I wish there was an emoticon to describe relief. maybe this?
xo,
E
