Are there any Fulbrighters who are planning on blogging on their adventure? Would you mind posting a link? I'd love to follow your experience!

I really hope that there is! I'm wishing you luck!

Guess what, guys!!!! I got the ETA grant for Russia after being an Alternate for what seems like forever. Kazan here I come!!! WOOOO!!

I want to hear more A's getting P's. I need some more fuel for my hope. :)

My fingers are crossed for you!!!!

What?! That is awful! I can't imagine waiting that long. Stay strong- you'll get through this!

Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!

Thanks for the info!

I'm curious- is there a deadline for accepted candidates to confirm the offer?

It does! This is so exciting! Congratulations! I have a quick question though. Do they usually contact alternates by phone or by email when telling them the good news?

YAY! Congratulations! Thank you for the encouragement! I'm still holding out hope.

I love hearing all these A's turn into P's! Congrats to you all and thank you for giving me hope!

I just found out that I am an alternate for Russia as well. I kind of knew that I would get that, but I'm hopeful for an upgrade in status. Fingers crossed for all us alternates. Does anyone have any idea how many alternates there usually are?

Thanks for the reply! I guess I'll stay up for another hour, just in case...

When can we usually expect them to stop notifying us for the day? 5pm EST? I'm so done with waiting.
