SMartin11879 - Congratulations to you too! Haha I am also still freaking out and I think that will continue for awhile! I requested Bavaria, BW, and Saarland, but I'm really really REALLY hoping for Bavaria!
Bailey24 - Congratulations! Where did you request to go?
Kconhead - I'm in the same situation, torn between USTA/Fulbright. I applied for a USTA also, and if I find out on 1 April that I got it and I still don't know my Germany placement by then, I will be really tempted to take Austria. I would be happy with pretty much any location in Austria, but I feel like there's a lot of not-so-great places they could put you in Germany. Plus, you get to take university classes in Austria. Is it really true that the pay is higher and that it's easier to extend your stay? Come to think of it, I know someone from my university who extended his stay by a year in Austria a few years ago.
