Anyone else there applying through IIE?
BellaBendrix replied to BellaBendrix's topic in Waiting it Out
Hi! About the rejection letters, I just pestered the Comission in Chile and they emailed the IIE. And no, we are not obligated to accept the program that they offer, they actually encourage us to apply directly to different programs too. I think the Commissions work differently in each country. Congrats for yout UPItt acceptance! Are you going for the master or the doctoral degree?- 44 replies

Dear all, Does anyone have any experience with Cribspot when it comes to graduate housing? I know it's relatively new but I was just wondering...

BellaBendrix replied to BellaBendrix's topic in Waiting it Out
I am soooo done with the IIE I have already accepted one of my Direct Application offers, and this is what I can say about the IIE process: there are soooooooooooooo many applicants that the IIE manages, that mistakes can happen. I was rejected from all my top choices that the IIE send, and accepted into the one top choice I applied on my own. Also, they had one of my rejection letters and they had simply "misplaced it" and had forgotten to send it. So, honestly, bug and bug the Fulbright Comission in Portugal (if you are a fulbrighter) or any of your sponsors, so that they can make sure everything is okay. good luck! and let us know where you will be heading!- 44 replies

No, I didn't!!! Have you? I'm going out of my mind with this... I've heard from people at the English Dept. that it's not very competitive... I wrote to the Fulbright Comission and they said Austin would be deciding on their funding in the next two weeks- 44 replies

Hey! Hi! I'm also moving to Ann Arbor this fall, though from a bit more to the south (aka, Chile). I'm also looking for housing options, so if you have any ideas, insights, or whatever, just PM me :D!

2016 Acceptance Thread
BellaBendrix replied to BarAndFrills's topic in Literature, and Rhetoric and Composition
Nah, if I had gotten into Chicago (was rejected D:), I would brag too. We are all super sensitive! I don't think I will get a call, as I am an international student and I applied through the IIE. Did you contact the professors beforehand? What's your area??? -

OMG there is a Penn acceptance. Anybody cares to claim it? The reaction in the search result was hilarious.
