Baltimore isn't a very dangerous city. Like every big city on earth, there are just some places I wouldn't go at night. Just try for a middle of the range apartment and you'll be fine!
I know I'm splitting hairs here, but is there an approximate time for the UK folks to hear back? Has it been in the morning or in the evening (US times)?
I know a friend of mine got theirs today, so I don't think it's looking good for me. Were they staggered last year? Also is it possible they would award the grant without an interview?
Has anyone heard any rumors about where the Swahili program will be based? It is the first year they are offering the language, but they still haven't posted a location...
Thanks miracle18! I'm a semi-finalist for the UK now and I was wondering what your experience with the interview was like. Was it people from the program to which you applied or a general panel for the UK? What sort of questions did they ask you? When did you get a final response?
