  1. I was listed as an alternate for sub-Saharan Africa. bummer. A few questions: Do I need to hope for somebody to turn down a grant from my country, or are the alternates dealt with at the regional level? Also, has anyone been successful in getting information about either where they fall on the alternate list or how their application could have been improved? Thanks!
  2. I found this when I just googled "sub-Saharan Africa Fulbright." I was trying to see if they had information about when we would hear, as it sounds like the Spanish site has, but instead I found this: http://fulbright.state.gov/orientation/af-nea-sca which is the schedule for the 2010 orientation. Could be premature, but it might make sense to avoid booking vacations for June 21-24 until we hear either way- which I have heard tends to be quite late...
  3. I got the rejection letter today in the mail- and I wasn't asked for a transcript. oh well. Good luck to everyone else!!
  4. I don't think we are going to be able to figure anything out through speculation. Unless someone has a connection to SSRC or calls and gets more info from them, I think we are stuck waiting until May. The transcript requests could mean something or they could not. SSRC seems to be saying they don't, but whether to take their word for it is unclear. We should all try to remember to post here once we learn whether we got the grant, and say whether or not we were asked for transcripts. That way maybe next year's applicants will be better informed!
  5. I just called SSRC and asked them whether everyone will need to submit transcripts. The guy (very friendly) said that only some students are asked to, and that it is not indicative of whether you move to the next round. I'm not sure if I believe him- it seems unlikely that they would award a fellowship to a student without having his/her transcript. Perhaps others could call for more info? Specifically, whether awards are ever given out to students who have not been asked to provide transcripts?
