macaron25, I'm going to be at Hepia (HES-GO) in Geneva. Where will you be going? I have not gotten the letter from Fulbright yet, but I did get the email confirmation from SERI. I had the same slight sense of worry about the the visa application, as I mailed it in last Friday, and it will be fine as I have the letter from SERI and the visa reviewer was happy with it. I'm more concerned about housing, and yet my host professor and University are being so supportive, I'm sure something will turn up. Did you have to write all the essays for the visa application too? I wasn't expecting to submit my resume and an essay, lol.

Thanks so much! It was an unbelievable turn of events. Now I have the honor of filling out the infamously cumbersome Swiss paperwork

Is anyone else going to Geneva?

Sorry to hear that! At least you know that you are a high quality student! I wish they weren't discriminatory like that though.

I just got promoted! I'm going to Switzerland!

I'm done here. I might reapply next year, but I'm not sure yet. I'm looking forward to the end of June when the Alternate situation will be more clear. If I do apply for next year, I will do it sans-board. This has been a great year and I've learned a lot from this board. If I apply again, I plan on telling almost no one, and not thinking about it at all after submitting the application. Thanks everyone!

Thanks CrystalDee!

Well, as Alternate for Switzerland, I think I will go ahead and plan out my next adventure. Millennial Trains Project here I come!

Sorry to hear that! :-(

Well, it worked....but... (A)

Switzerland is a wittle shy, but if we all clap our hands, and believe . . .

Let's go Switzerland!

Has Luxembourg found out? Uganda? Ukraine?

Glad you're okay CrystalDee!!

It's good to hear that she was accepted to Austria! So, some countries put more emphasis on it than others. I just browsed the 2014-2015 country profiles and Switzerland says, "Ineligibility: Academic candidates should not have lived in Switzerland for more than one year before the beginning of the grant." Germany says, "Ineligibility: Dual U.S.-German citizens will not be considered," and France says, "Ineligibility: Candidates currently residing in France are not eligible for consideration." Good to know!
