[Fulbright 2013-2014]

Hello! On the medical clearance form, it says that it is up to you to find out if your country has any specific requirements. Does any one know where you can look to find that out? Thank you!

Just an idea, but maybe creating another Fulbright thread would be a good idea. This one can remain an analysis/speculation/conversation/commiseration, etc discussion thread. Then there would be a results thread (sort of how Grad Cafe has a results list for grad school admits and rejections) where people just post their country, time of notification, and program when they get notified. People could quickly check results and then come to this thread to discuss. (Or have email alerts for it so they know results are coming in) Something like "Fulbright 2013-2014 RESULTS." It would also make it easier for the kind soul that is compiling the spreadsheet or for future applicants to skim.

I love this idea. I check this forum all the time while I am in class and such when I do not have much time, so it can be hard to read through all of the conversations just to see if there are any other results coming in. I like the conversations, I just wish there was an easier way to check for results!

I actually landed in South Korea last year the day Kim Jong Il died. The people there were not really concerned even though the media here in the US portrayed it to the point where I am pretty sure Americans were more afraid than the South Koreans. Their biggest concern was the stock market. This is because North Korean threats are so common (close to a daily basis), they have just learned to ignore them. I am applying for the South Korean ETA and would not even hesitate to go there. It would truly surprise me if they were to pull Fulbright funding due to the recent threats.

I actually got my "recommendation email" for South Korea ETA at 5:10PM Eastern time, so I have been checking my email even after 5PM! I just wish the results would come out already.
