not recommended. nuts!

Ha, i feel you. i woke up before the sun because i was so nervous i couldn't sleep. i told my friends about this board and finding out about the decisions today, and they laughed about the potential of 'scholarship trolls' making fake emails to freak us out.

i think it varies. for UCL, you can apply if you are doing a masters or a masters with a phd following. for LSE, it's only for one year masters students, so i guess it depends on the university. i saw these requirements on the uk fulbright website. http://www.fulbright.org.uk/fulbright-awards/exchanges-to-the-uk/postgraduates the partnerships have so many less applicants, making your odds much better. last year, there were 4/271 chosen for the open award, and UCL is 1/44, or Imperial is even 1/20. some on there i saw were even 1/4. http://us.fulbrightonline.org/countries/selectedcountry/united-kingdom?program_id=218

oh god yes, plus both postgrad and phd applicants are eligible for the open award. i thought about applying to UCL because of the partnership and my chances would be better, but i like the KCL program too much to not risk it. what's your field? mine is environmental policy and globalization, with emphasis on climate change vulnerability and environmental justice.

New to gradcafe, but I had to sign up to say THANK YOU. I, too, had finally accepted that I had two weeks left to wait, and I thought I would give a lurk on here and my heart jumped into my throat. I'm also waiting for acceptance to King's College London for an MSc. I feel like I check my email hundreds of times a day. I applied for the UK Open Award, as King's doesn't have a partnership. My chances are so slim! Good luck everyone! Have a calm 24 hours, yeah?
