  1. Yup, I applied for CET Harbin. I hope we find out about if we got the CLEA or not so I finally have a reason to pay my application fee!
  2. I'm so sorry, Certain_Entropy. All I can say is I wish you the absolute best in your future endeavors!
  3. Did you happen to use this site? http://postcalc.usps.gov/ I wish the mail would get here faster~~~~!!!
  4. Upon reading your post I called Jonathan and he said exactly what you said in regard to China. Thanks for your indirect encouragement
  5. I just called Jonathan. China applicants: letters were sent out this week! OMG we'll find out next week!!!!
  6. My application to CET Harbin technically isn't finished since I had a huge problem with one of my recommendations. Have you tried asking ACC for a deposit extension? Based on what other people have said on these boards it doesn't seem like we can hear results over the phone. With South Korea getting their results now I hope China and the other East Asian countries can follow suit. I did see a post by JC on the spreadsheet from 4/14 that says nothing yet from China and Macau-- which is scary! Who wants to call Jonathan on Monday and ask if letters have been sent out??
  7. Update for China applicants: called Jonathan, said the earliest he hoped letters would be sent out is the beginning of next week, and the latest would be the end of the month.
  8. Jonathan said the same thing for Taiwan and Korea (according to the spreadsheet): that letters will go out at by the end of this week/early next week. Maybe that's the case now for China?!!
  9. Hey zazabell, I think we find out about CLEA after our full grant notification. That's what I understood from reading last year's Fulbright thread. What program are you applying to? I applied to CET Harbin.
  10. I asked my advisor today to clarify, sorry for the confusion! Here's what he said: "[Jonathan] meant that he thinks that the finalists should know something by the 30th. No promises, but that's what he thinks." I am a bit disappointed that it is so late even though it's just a week later than last year's notification date.
  11. For China applicants- my advisor contacted Jonathan and he said that he expects to hear by April 30.
  12. Expected but still disappointed haha. I was reading through last year's Fulbright thread and someone found out about China on April 21.... So hopefully we'll find out then too?! (Potentially) three more weeks!!!
  13. Congrats, Nikkola! Please be sure to update the final notification spreadsheet when you are done celebrating https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=taWW8xiKve1Tm6Ow6bHdhYA&hl=en
  14. After reading your post I got inspired to call up Mr. Akeley's office and badger them about our notification date. The guy wasn't in but his secretary said, "We're just waiting to hear from them." Couldn't even confirm that we'd hear in April! I wish the Asia-Pacific region had someone like Rachel Holskin or anyone who's just more open about our statuses.
  15. Hey Nikkola, from reading last year's thread it looks like Fulbright will pay for your orientation plane ticket and lodgings, so no worries about that. I think China is the only East Asian country to have a Washington D.C. orientation. The other countries may have in-country orientations.
  16. I applied for a Full grant to China. Good luck:) Nope, my institution wasn't part of CSC. I had to get my affiliation to ask the Foreign Affairs Office at the university to ask what it would take to admit a Fulbright visiting student, but that was all I had to do so far. Which university are you applying to? I put my affiliation as Shenzhen University.
  17. My program manager has never been anything but standoffish. I've always addressed him as "Mr. Akeley." I don't plan on contacting him unless I didn't receive any notification on my status until say, May, because I know I probably wouldn't get very helpful answers from him.
  18. If letters are being sent to your permanent address that SUCKS. I definitely want to find out about whether I got it or not before my parents do.
  19. Is anyone feeling like the Fulbright waiting process is interfering with making plans for the oh-so-near future? I hate turning down job offers waiting for this
  20. China's orientation is in Washington D.C. from June 30-July 2.
  21. I heard that happening with the China full grant as well. I think there was something like 70 grants available, and according to this Fulbright newsletter: "The Fulbright Program in China received an all-time high of 175 applications for the 2009-2010 program year. However, the quality of the applications submitted has not kept pace, which is why only 52 Fulbrighters are going to China this year."
  22. They'll send final notification to your mailing address.
  23. I just got notification that I'm a finalist for China!!! Looking forward to mid-April lol
  24. Sorry, Stranger But, thanks for letting us know
