Is it appropriate to send them an email if we haven't heard anything yet? It is the first week of March...
I emailed last week asking when they planned to send out negative notifications as I have a summer job offer to respond to by today and haven't heard anything back, so... probably but they didn't respond to my request for more info about it.

Just received my tentative offer for Japan!!!
Congrats! I'm not sure if this makes me more or less hopeful for my chances at a Japan offer... I think you said your topic was plant ecology?

Is it just me? Or was everyone else hoping that they would send out another round of acceptances today? One week later... makes sense, right?
And all I got was another day of anxious waiting. Good luck everyone.
Yup, I was hoping for today too. I jump daily between job hunting for the summer and thinking about my planned project. Even more agonizing because I graduated in December and haven't taken other jobs while I wait because I REALLY want to do my planned research in Japan. My local sponsor/advisor is really excited too, I'm dreading having to tell him if I don't get it.

Do the March 28-29 dates apply to all programs? Or is that specifically for Japan?
I got the same response about dates, and understood that orientation was for all participants regardless of program location. Also, it's Monday/Tuesday with return home on Wednesday, so the 28-30 would need to be taken off from class/work if you aren't on spring break that week. That was my understanding, anyway.

Sounds like a lot of Japan offers... I guess I should still hold out hope for another week or so... :-/

I just got my official "your proposal will not be recommended" email for Japan. Disappointing to be sure but at least I know! Should probably have followed my gut and applied to China or Taiwan for better odds, but nothing to be done now except cry over a beer and accept the alternative summer job that was waiting on me.
Good luck to everyone who is still waiting to hear and those who are already accepted!
