Nice! I will be primarily in Ljubljana. We will have to connect at the orientation in July!

At 5:38pm EST, the email finally came! Full grant to Slovenia!!!!!! (Anybody else out there for Slovenia?) Thanks to all who have been posting here. I have been mostly quiet but appreciative of the virtual community, especially this past week when the wait has been most agonizing. On Monday I received an email from Joan Smallwood at IIE with the subject line "URGENT--TRANSCRIPT--URGENT" alerting me that my undergraduate transcript was missing from my file. My undergrad institution was fantastic and was able to mail an official transcript for me via FedEx overnight around 1pm that afternoon, and it arrived by 10:30am in New York on Tuesday. No word since then until the official email tonight, but it seems that if you accidentally forget a transcript, IIE will let you know and give you a chance to send it in. To those who are still waiting to hear, hang in there!

Hi all, I too am anxiously awaiting to hear about the first round of selections and want to offer what little information I've been able to gather. I emailed my FPA this week, and he said that the emails are usually sent out to everyone over a span of 2-3 days (not at all the same instant). While some years notifications have been sent out around the 19th-20th, usually on a Thursday or Friday (which would make next Thursday or Friday seem possible), he cautioned that some years they haven't released the news until the 31st, the last possible day. So, it seems reasonable to get our hopes up for the end of next week, though we probably shouldn't bank on it. Thanks also to everyone who has posted on here. I just found this forum yesterday, and it's been really nice to be reminded that I'm not the only one feeling the agony of the wait.
