I have decided to accept the USTA instead of the Germany ETA. Do I need to notify Fulbright? I am confused...

still waiting on USTA Austria and going crazy trying to figure out if i want that or the fulbright to germany more. if only Austria would send out their notifications so i can start to focus in class again...

My friend applied and hasn't heard anything yet... so I don't think so!

Hey! I checked out your blog and was linked to your email, so I sent you a few questions! Just wanted to give you a heads up

I have this same question, but I always imagined that it would be totally feasible. I considered the possibility, but honestly, if I get the USTA, I don't think i can wait a full year to go to Austria. I think USTA often feels like they are short on good candidates though (one of the Professors at IES Study Abroad Vienna told me this, and I think her husband is on the Fulbright commission), so I don't think Fulbright would count against you! Totally just my two cents though.

Hey guys! Seeing more Germany people here, so I just wanted to post the link again for the facebook group we made https://www.facebook.com/groups/822197817856693/

Two weeks after they send you the official letter! But i don't know when that will be. I am at with you! I also applied to the USTA in Austria and will be torn between the two if I graduate. As someone who has had time abroad made really difficult by not having enough money, the higher pay of Austria is really appealing to me. I also like that it is easy to do a second year, though someone mentioned that Germany ETAs have extended before. But I will have to see where I am placed. I think my heart might be in Austria, but if I were placed in a city like Karlsruhe, that might be difficult for me (as I really love it there). So I am (potentially... still don't know about USTA) in the same boat :/

Pysch_33, if I get the USTA Austria, I will probably turn down the ETA Germany. So you never know!

recipient of the germany ETA!!!!!

Germany people: was your status in the title of the email?

I heard of a lot of people being bumped up!!! You never know what other offers people will get! My thoughts are with you though, I am sorry

YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Also, goodbye to my productivity for this week... i just got an email and my heart stopped. until i realised that it was just my lab coordinator doing normal coordination things

edit to myself: 2013/2014, they released the research like 3 days before the ETAs... so forget what i just said still freaking myself out though

CONGRATS!!! oh but now my heart is doing flip flops...Last year they released the ETA and research around the same dates...

That is awesome! I am just finishing my undergrad now, so I will have some time before I really determine where life is taking me. While i am not qualified to it myself, I get to watch a lot of diagnostic visits (ADOS/ADI for every child/parent, regardless of if they have a previous diagnosis or not) and am also very interested in language acquisition. I work a lot with children outside of my lab and it's so interesting to me how my behaviour has changed since starting to work there. Parents with younger children are also starting to approach me with certain concerns (i.e. nonverbal kids or what to do about stimming) and it is still strange to me how applicable what i have learned in a lab setting is to my daily life edit: just so you're clear my first piece of advice is always to go to our city's autism clinic! not pretending to be an expert or anything but i have given advice on different ways of relating to children or and assure parents that what they think is "strange" (like sleeping problems and anxiety) is very normal in children with autism
