Hi everyone, just wanted to give you a heads up and tell you to double check the pdf version of the application form. 10 days ago I printed a preview and yesterday that I printed another one I noticed that some changes were done in the question that pertains to degrees expected/earned.
The Embark application form has always asked if you have been awarded or expect a PhD. The first time I selected yes and I inputed the date of my expected graduation, but when my school printed the application form the question from the .PDF preview was "Earned PhD" which appeared as I selected as "yes". This is a big deal since if it states that I have a PhD I would be moved to another pile for Fulbright Scholars or my application could have been dumped! That was a change my University's Fulbright Committee told me to select as "No" since I didn't have a PhD yet, but yesterday as I was going to submit the final version, I printed the preview and the question now said "Earned or Expected" which I had to go back and select yes again (urrrghhh).
This was a change that occurred in recent days, so I am not sure if they were correcting the original error since the question in Embark wasn't matching the preview, or what, but make sure to review the question in the PDF if you haven't submitted it yet!
Hopefully no further changes will occur since I am sure people have submitted their applications already.
