Congrats!!!! What great news! Do a happy dance

Amen, let it be today so we can move forward with our lives! I sunk so low as to apply for a job I'm terribly overqualified for last night. Haaaaalp!

Excellent! I proposed to work in Ballyvaughan, co. Clare. Where have you spent time?

Ok...so today might not be the day haha. Atleast for Ireland.

Congrats! Sending positive vibes your way. Regardless of the final outcome, Alternate is a huge achievement!

I second this. I'm not mentioning Fulbright to potential employers and removed "Fulbright semi-finalist" from the CV's I'm giving them (though I'm keeping it for residency opportunities).

Today will be the day.

I must admit that the unexpected extended wait time is making my expectations plummet, which means less disappointment when notifications do come out.

Fulbright lives on to tease another day.

They usually begin in the afternoon, stay positive!

Michigan just sent out a "hang tight if you're still waiting and let us know if you hear anything" email to all semi-finalists and it just about gave me a heart attack to see "Fulbright U.S. Student Program - Second Round Notifications" in my inbox. lol. Serious spike in the ol' cortisol levels. On a more productive note, I'm forcing myself to prep (yet another) residency application that takes place in the first few months of 2018. Need to get a full time faculty application in before April 9th as well. How is everyone still waiting passing the time?

Hoping more notifications go out today!

Ireland, where are you and why are you doing this to us?!

Congrats to finalists and sending optimism for alternates! Now CMON IRELAND!

CONGRATS!!!!!!

Congrats!!! wooooooohooooooooo!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! Woo hoo do a happy dance!

Congrats!! Yes. Dreading but expecting only 1.

I support both of these sentiments.

If it's true it means waiting longer than this week.

Just called Marla about Ireland results and she said "it's generally late March or early April". edit: I wish I could down vote my own post, lol.

The farm I apprentice at just had a bunch of kids last week...one of the dams pretty much gave birth right into my arms. So I've been hanging with those little guys a lot to cope with the stress. It's also put me at peace with whatever the results may be...I have a great thing going here and Fulbright can't change that. So yes, baby goats work.

Totally agree!

Hoping for good/ANY news for us! Happy Monday!

So surprised Ireland didn't announce today.
