Hey! I came across a prior Fulbright thread which may give you some help. (not my work, but kbui, who seems to be very active and knowledgeable on the forums. Hope it helps!

Hey, I can't speak to the Greece ETA at all. In terms of picking a country your application will be stronger/easier to complete if you have a substantial connection or interest in the country of application. An interest in a specific aspect of that country can make you stand out, say going to Greece because you are a History major and are looking to go into the Greek History field. As for the GPA/Letters part, everything I've read or heard has basically said that the recommendations can make quite a difference and that it is usually best to have someone who a)writes well b)knows you well and can speak to you in an academic setting or a professional/teaching setting. Hope that helped at least a little bit Good Luck!

What's up everyone, I'm applying for an ETA in Taiwan, anyone else here doing/done the same? A few questions as well, Can I have my Fulbright adviser also write a recommendation? They happen to be a family friend and know me pretty well, or is this something frowned upon by the application committee? Also, is there anyone looking to swap statement drafts and give feedback? More eyes and opinions the better! Best of luck to everyone!
