Hi y'all
I resisted from ever joining and commenting on this site, but it's warranted now. I received an e-mail this morning from Fulbright stating that I had been promoted from alternate to selected for full grant to Germany!
I had completely thrown the idea of Fulbright out my head when I was designated an alternate a month ago but today shows that there's hope for alternates.
Good luck to all those who haven't found out yet and to those who are alternates!
