yes.

Really? I gave a paper there a few years back... do i know you?

For those that are not getting to the next round, this is my third time applying. As an undergrad I made it to the final round and then was rejected. As a masters student I did not make it past the first round. As a Ph.D. candidate, I'm now recommended for the final round.

Yippie!

I am pleased to inform you that the National Screening Committee of the Institute of International Education (IIE) has recommended you for a grant under the Fulbright U.S. Student Program for the academic year 2014-15.

shhhhh... we hope

My fridge in Cleveland is stocked with Bell's new Winter White... which is fantastic on this day where everything is shut down because it is too cold to go outside apparently....

Yes, France... but now as a Ph.D. candidate and with a completely different project that is my diss..... best of luck and yes, I would be in Paris as well if I'm accepted

I applied as a masters student and I'm pretty sure I got a lukewarm letter. They loved my proposal but then when I did the campus interview they didn't tell me they brought a language professor who interviewed me in the French without warning. I do research on 17th-18th c. Paris so I can read fluently and write well, but was totally caught off guard with the speaking in the interview and I think they didn't recommend me as highly as I would have liked. Fortunately this time around at a different school I met with and had a conversation in French with the language evaluator and she gave me a high recommendation, so I'm sure the FPA wrote a good letter as well.

And if the notifications don't go out today for some reason........ this board will.......?

Campus closed tomorrow because.... It is too damn cold.....great... Now nothing to do except watch hmm inbox obsessively......

De-lurking here. Full Research grant to France and been following along here for a while hoping to get some news.
