  1. Think I will be applying to Malaysia. But still considering... .good luck all!
  2. Well, yes I do tend to overthink ...OCD may contribute to that. It was also somewhat obsessive to catch up on all 270 plus pages from this year's application process, but I did and got a lot of useful info. Thanks all! Very impressive... such a supportive group. I hope you check in with us next year! Anyway, fairly far back, an accepted candidate asked for advice re whether they had to report recently seeing a psychologist, Apparently, the medical questionnaire asked this and the consensus was NO. No one will be able to learn you've done so. Don't do it. It is private information. So my question stemmed from that. But point well taken re concentrating on my application. Thanks.
  3. Thanks CrystalDee, myhandsarebananas, vPersie and lkjl2007 for your responses to my question about whether I have to notify Fulbright of my mild OCD, currently well managed by medication. Two more questions: As I begin the daunting task of figuring out which country to apply to for an ETA, do you have any insights into whether a country's attitude toward a condition like OCD would figure into whether if accepted I would then be denied? My condition is well managed and I'm not certain I will even be on medication in a year. But given the stress I'm anticipating senior year: applying for fellowships, looking for jobs, , interning, writing a thesis, and finishing my major, I bet i'll remain on to best manage. Do accepted Fulbrighters undergo bloodwork for the medical exam? Does it test for antianxiety/antidepressant medication? When I've studied abroad previously I've filled out a medical history which was kept in a sealed envelope only to be opened in a medical emergency. There has never been a need to open it . So the private info remains private.
  4. Hope there are still some posters around to answer this question!! I want to apply for a Fulbright ETA next year. I have mild OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder) and am currently on a medication (antidepressant) and it is well managed. I have studied and traveled extensively abroad without a problem. Do I have to notify Fulbright of this condition?
