Ha. You're right actually. Even if I didn't get the Fulbright, still happy to have had a great support group here!

Any other Whitaker grantees out there? If so, where are you guys going? =)

Thanks! Still a little bummed I won't be bonding with all the other UK Fulbrights, but super glad to be going nonetheless. =)

For those who know me/have talked to me before, I got the Whitaker/will be in the UK any way. =)

I know this isn't specifically about Fulbright, but who was the other poster here who was also applying to Whitaker? I cannot for the life of me remember what page it was on.

I don't know about looking forward to Monday, but it'd be nice to know! I'm still waiting on Whitaker or if anybody turns down a Fulbright (ha), and that's my last chance for the year to get to the UK.....

One of my best friends lives in Aalborg!!! I'd love to visit him. Good luck- I hope you get it!

My FPA spoke to her assistant yesterday, so it is possible! But maybe it just has to be somebody they know/from your university.

aww man. I didn't want to be the only one who didn't get it. =P

Alternate. =( Congrats Gender!!! That is truly awesome though.

Nooooo they are not! /Fulbright is distracting me from studying as much as I would like!

Another day..... Sigh.... And Elwolf- I completely agree. I don't think I'd be as nervous/upset about it if I didn't know I was essentially already supposed to have found out by previous years dates! And that bloody email...

Sigh. The 3 days I least wanted to find out during ever.

So..... Any UKers want to throw out estimates of when they think we'll find out?

Yup..... I swear I've read this review packet like 5 times and haven't processed a word of it...

Bwahaha I haven't read that in ages. I approve.

I just want to know. T___T

Ha good- always hard to tell on the Internet. Time to try to study for finals and lurk here all weekend moping that I don't know yet..... Have a good weekend all!

I can't tell if you are being serious or sarcastic. I am hoping the latter. =P

I followed up with my FPA. She thinks it will be after or during my spring break (essentially, not next week, but the week after). So not happy right now.

Whaaaaaaat THAT WOULD FREAKING SUCK. If I find out Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday, I will actually cry. All of my finals somehow are in the span of those 3 days due to crappy scheduling by the registrar. Oh gosh. Just please Monday or Tuesday. Please please please. Even though logically I know I won't hear from them today, I'm still getting nervous again until 5 pm EST.... EDIT: I applied to the UK, same place as I applied for Fulbright/the letter of affiliation was super easy to get since I already had one. =P My focus would be on imaging and sensing. You? And are you applying as a fellow or scholar?

I completely agree with your first statement... But it's distracting me from studying, which is frustrating. And not at all- I also applied to Whitaker. It's a discipline specific one, though (biomedical engineering).

Yay! Hopefully all of us can get it then/no overlap. =P

That may or may not be a good thing (I am pessimistic), but I hope I'll feel better when I know... Though my other fellowship I don't find out about until the first week of April. ARGHHH

Ha I wish, but I trust my FPAs in saying that it takes a good 2 days to get approval. I'm hoping for no later than Monday.
