If it helps, I got promoted a month and about a week after becoming alternate.

Aw, darn :<

When I was alternate I looked at the spreadsheet and contacted the one principal directly. She was very nice about it

Ah, well! We'll have to follow your blog then so everyone can keep in touch and see your adventures!

Thank you! It means a lot to get support from you guys. I'm still waiting for details, but I'm riding on a cloud right now Can't wait to meet everyone in D.C.!

Well I hope it will happen! According to the spreadsheet only two Bulls have received a principal position so far (myself and someone named Mary going to the Dominican Republic). There's an alternate for the Netherlands too. Hoping it turns for you!

From an A.....to a P!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ahhhhh! Totally out of the blue, no email or anything! I was just sitting on the couch and the phone rang and showed "New York, New York" and I was all, "It can't be," and the fiancé was like, "Wazzup?" and I squawked, "MUTE, MUTE, MUTE!!! MUTE THE TV I THINK IT'S FULBRIGHTTT!!!" And...it was! We're taking the weekend to really think it through because the fiancé is freaked out because he'd be coming with me as a dependent and he doesn't speak any Russian or Romanian (I'm ETA to Moldova) and he's worried about the language barrier. But, I'm 99.9% sure I'm accepting this thing. Ahhhhh!!!

Miracles do happen!!!! Congratulations!

I'm alternate for Moldova, and have been waiting since mid-April. Hopefully your wait isn't that long. I've observed in past forums that things usually start heating up for alternates next week through mid June. Fingers crossed!

Congratulations!

Hazzah!!! Yaaaaayyyy!

Thank you for sharing! Every alternate bump I hear of eases the anxiousness

Here you go, at the bottom of the page http://us.fulbrightonline.org/countries/selectedcountry/sweden

Yay! Congrats to you!

Thank you for sharing the good news! It gives us other alternates hope and keeps the anxiousness at bay. A big congratulations to you!!!

Yep. Received it on 05/02. Instantly honed in on "Fulbright" in the subject line, then composed myself again a second later after I read the entire line.

Congrats! Worth the wait, eh?

Would any of the principals be able to upload or share what is on the medical form? I'm an alternate working as a schoolteacher now, and my insurance doesn't cover me during the summer (only the school year). Wondering if I should try to get some of this stuff out of the way now while I can. Ya know, just in case I get bumped up...*fingers, toes, and arms crossed!*

I'm in the same boat as you. Only two for Moldova as well

LOL!

No words. *Hugs*

Ahahahahaha

MAJOR HEART ATTACK! My FPA emailed me to tell me she's back in the office, but she replied from the original Fulbright email that was cc'd to her so I totally thought it was the promotion notification I've been praying for! F$&$*#^#$@%#$^$#!!!

YAY!!!!!!!
