I'm going to Tajikistan and from what I hear, you get your placement once you get there - like they have a suggestion for you at the US Embassy and then you can discuss it with them. It might be different with Morocco though?

Thank you!!

Thanks!!

THANK YOU!! AHHH shaking!

I love how fast your reply was THANK YOU!!! AHHHH!

I GOT IT I GOT IT I GOT IT!!! IM GOING TO TAJIKISTAN!

Thank you all!! So it was an interview phonecall and they're going to forward the results to the US Fulbright Committee! So my waiting commences again

Ahhh thank you Crystal Dee! FIVE MORE MINUTES!! AHHHH

Alternate to Kyrgyzstan, got my application switched to Tajikistan. Got an email and voicemail asking if they can call me in an hour. IM DYING HERE Y'ALL

Oooh thank you so much for the detailed suggestions! Let me know if you can think of anymore

This might be a random question, but I feel like there MUST be some Turkey Fulbrighters or those who know Turkey in general- I'm going for two weeks -- where are good places to go to other than the Hagia Sophia (ie the purpose of my trip haha)? Thanks y'all

Congratulations to everyone who got bumped up yayayayaya

So now I'm back to waiting because I had to reapply to another country for this year. Ahhhh! Antsy antsy antsy!

Yeah... Japan's like that too, a little. Not like "Oh, I was drunk" and it's an excuse, but even if you get trashed at a work going out thing, they don't really talk about it the next day.

I got that as an alternate as well... Although I got offered to be considered for a different country? Did anyone get a phone call like that?

Congratulations! That's so exciting

Haha literally all of y'all's responses are making me almost cry :') I applied to Kyrgyzstan - who knew that there were so many people in love with the country like me?

Awww thanks so much! I just feel like I won't be bumped up since it's such a small country with only two spots But we will see! I just feel so bad for everyone that had to wait with me cheered me on etc. and for everyone that wrote my rec letters

Just heard- alternate Sad

So now we've passed the date range for Kyrgyzstan and I'm going into exams in school, and won't be able to concentrate since I'll be checking my email every two minutes... I'm so excited for everyone who got it though! I hope I can join the FB group for the ETAs soon

KYRGZYSTAN YOU'RE KILLIN MEEEEE

You can also check the dates that they notified in the past? Like for me, I'm expecting it to come this week because Central Asia has consistently notified candidates between 23-27 April.

What time have people been getting their emails on average? (It makes me sound like I'm a bit crazy, I know, I know...)

Yeah... there are two spots for Kygyzstan which means they have to decide between four people at most. Even South Korea with like 80 spots have announced it ahhhh

Kyrgyzstan, anyone?
