I haven't heard back either, though some of my colleagues have gotten emails with results (both acceptances) so I don't think it's an issue of the Fulbright officer at my institution withholding information.

I am a linguistic anthropology Ph.D student who does fieldwork on language contact, migration, and interaction in Southeast Asia and could use some advice on field equipment. I am mainly looking for a good camera that I can use for pictures (mostly street photography) and video (for interactional analysis), as well as a durable laptop that can run programs like ELAN, Praat, etc., and handle basic video editing. Advice on good audio recorder (I’ve been looking at Zooms But haven’t made any decisions yet) would also be appreciated. Thanks so much!

G/G, E/E, E/E, honorable mention as a second-year Ph.D. and only time applying. First reviewer seemed a little confused but the other two were exceedingly kind. I didn't receive an email yet either...?

I haven't been on here in a while so I'm not sure if this has come up or not, but I read the following in a Phi Beta Kappa newsletter email today: The Fulbright Program, the nation’s flagship international academic exchange program, is in jeopardy. President Obama’s proposed budget calls for cuts of more than $30-million in the program, seriously harming its ability to fulfill its critical international mission of peace through education. The program has promoted academic and cultural exchange, generating mutual exchange partnerships with over 155 countries all over the world for more than 60 years. Among the 325,000 alumni of the program are John Hope Franklin (former President of Phi Beta Kappa), John Lewis Gaddis, Renee Fleming, Daniel Liebeskind, 10 members of Congress, 18 heads of state, and dozens of Nobel Laureates and Pulitzer Prize winners. You can help Save the Fulbright by signing a petition here. Here's the link to the petition and an explanation to the cuts that are being made, in case anyone is interested! http://www.savefulbright.org/

I have a feeling that something like that must have happened...I thought it was super weird that a week had passed and I was still refreshing my email about every five minutes haha! Either way, I'm glad to finally know, it's a huge relief! And thanks so much everyone, best of luck to those still waiting! I'm looking forward to seeing everyone else's acceptances as well @Secret_Ninja, we definitely have to keep in touch, it'll be good to know another Fulbrighter there! I don't have any info yet on my placement, but I should be arriving August 11!

So apparently some of the notifications are arriving via snail mail...just got an ETA acceptance for Indonesia in my mailbox!

It looks like Ireland already sent out notifications as well. And Indonesia hasn't sent out all of its results yet, there's at least two of us still waiting! Jonathan Akeley, the East Asia-Pacific Program Manager, is unreachable until the 25th, so it'll be interesting to see if any countries under his jurisdiction receive notification before then.

I'm in the same boat still, too! It's driving me crazy...I thought everyone for Indonesia would have heard back by now! Are you Research or ETA?

That wouldn't be indicative in terms of acceptance/rejection, though, right? Seeing as in the Google Doc there's already 2 acceptances and 1 rejection, last I checked. Secret_Ninja, I'm relieved I'm not the only one! Although it makes it nerve-racking for both of us :/

Been lurking for a while now and nearly had a heart attack when I saw that Indonesia notifications have started going out...is it typical for notifications for a single country to be spread out over a few days? I'm still anxiously waiting for an email from IIE to appear in my inbox....
