  1. Also rejected for Germany research. I'm incredibly disappointed, but I'll try again next year. Good luck to everyone still waiting!
  2. I'm getting married on Saturday and I just told my fiancé that I am definitely more nervous about my Fulbright results next week (hopefully!) than our wedding in a few days. To my great relief, he totally understood. But I feel like I've gone absolutely crazy.
  3. I appear to have started stress-eating this week and should be the size of a small whale by the time the notifications are sent out. How is everyone else coping with the anxiety of waiting? Any good tips to share or are we all just spiraling down together?
  4. Thank you so much for this! I can't tell if I am being rational or panicked anymore and it's nice to be reminded that I am not the first person to make a mistake. I don't think there is anything I can do about it at this point, anyway, so obsessing about it accomplishes nothing and adds an unnecessary amount of additional stress (but I can't seem to stop!). I don't know if I can take much more of this cycle of anxiety. Fulbright waiting is bad for my health.
  5. Lurker here, but I made an account because I am driving myself crazy and could use some advice from people going through the same process. I feel like I made a detrimental mistake on my application. I am applying for the Germany Study/Research grant, but my application lists a 2-year program instead of a 1-year program. I didn't need to affiliate with a university ahead of time, but my advisor really pushed me last minute to go ahead and talk about a program I would like to attend in my application. I have no idea how I made such a terrible mistake, or how it got past me and my advisors, but is that going to auto-ding me from being a recipient? I don't actually care if I can't attend that particular program, so it's going to be devastating if I am rejected because of that. It is such an embarrassing mistake and it's so glaring now that I realize. The only explanation I can give is that it was the middle of my midterms in law school and my brain was just mush. I have been driving myself crazy obsessing over this mistake, especially if it's enough to reject my application because of an incompatible program. I just wish there were a way to reach out and tell the committee that it was a mistake and not the only program I would consider attending. Has anyone heard of someone doing this or is that a step too far? Any chance this isn't as big of a deal as I think it is? Anyone else going through something similar or was everyone put-together enough not to send a mistake on their Fulbright application?
