Mcelone, Welcome to the group obsession...probably better that it took you a little while to find this! The general consensus, I think, is that the emails like the one you received - clarifying application details/mistakes/budget items - a few weeks ago were not "the" budget emails that seem to carry so much weight. Though, it would suggest that, as of that point, you were still in the running, so probably a good sign? Hope that helps! Now you're up to speed and as in the dark as the rest of us... : )

I received a date confirmation email, and my start date is in late August, as well. Any possibility that their review process changed slightly this year and that somehow this date inquiry email replaces/serves the same function as the budget email did last year? Honestly, it's anybody's guess!

I just received the same email. I would think that "all applicants" would only mean those who are still in contention. At this stage in the game, that can't still be the general applicant pool, right? Regardless, I'll take any sign of movement!

Hi All , Haven't seen a post from a Fellowship applicant recently - and naturally I mean "recently" in the most relative sense that applies only to anxious applicants obsessively checking GradCafe every 1/2 hour! Can I safely assume that means no news yet? Hang in there...must be soon, no?? Also, I don't remember who it was exactly, but so jealous of your husband's time in Morocco - I lived there for three years and miss it terribly! I'm glad you had a nice visit : )
