At least you know what your status is! They won't even tell me! Stupid Netherlands... :x

I'm trying to stay positive but it's not looking good! I called yesterday and was told that the letters were sent out two weeks ago and mine just got lost in the mail. I have a feeling that if I had gotten it, she would have just told me outright, since there's only a limited time to accept. Oh well! I'll be moving to Japan instead, which isn't too shabby. My proposal was to study attitudes toward the immigration debate among high schoolers in Utrecht. What was your proposal?

For those of you who have been accepted (especially for a research grant), how long after you received the snail mail notification did you receive an e-mail confirmation? I know that the letters for my country were mailed out nearly 2 weeks ago, but I still haven't gotten a letter. I'm pessimistic though because I feel like if I had gotten it, there would have been some sort of follow-up e-mail since we have to accept/decline within a certain time frame. Let me know what you think.

Has anyone else who applied to the Netherlands STILL not heard? I know that a few people were rejected and placed on the alternate list, but it seems like the only acceptances have been for NAF, and not general grants. I'm trying really hard to be patient and not call, but I need to know! I really don't want to be told over the phone that I've been rejected.
