has anyone heard anything? they said we were supposed to hear by May 1st. No emails on my end even though April is now over. eek

welp, they said we'd hear before may so it could be any time now. when i emailed them to see if there was a more definite date they said they would not be reviewing them until after the annual AERA meeting which ended Apr 7th. *crosses fingers*

Yea, it's kinda a bummer that they don't even send us individual emails. it almost feels as though i didn't even apply without that closure, haha.

gah. me neither. this seems to just not be my year in terms of funding. ah well, just keep swimming...

Eek! Good luck!

nope. i think they'll send us an email link to it though as well...

TOMORROW

ugh. my status STILL says "recommended." I hope that just means they're not updating that portal. Im so happy all the waiting and hoping is soon to come to an end. 5 more days! lets hope it's good news

Nope. No Honorable Mention. I imagine you can't get it if you have even 1 Poor. So I went from being an Alternate last year to nothing this year! haha. Oh well. Exactly i.am.me. And I have 2 peer-reviewed publications, 3 online publications, and several book reviews to my credit. Would be a shame if that reviewer just missed that page on my application...

got my email with reviewers' comments today...well there actually were not any comments as they just show how they score you on different sections with tick-marks. Overall I got all "Excellents" and "Very Goods".with only one seemingly strange anomaly- 1 reviewer giving me a "Poor" for Publications while the other 2 gave me a "Very Good" for Publications. Weird. Wonder what that reviewer's issue was. I wish they actually filled out the "additional comments" section. Ah well.

Anyone here a winner of the India Fulbright and going to the US to conduct research or teach? If so, I'll be on a panel at your pre-departure orientation in Delhi entitled, "Living on a U.S. Campus," at the end of May. Excited to meet you all! Hopefully I'll get to help out at the US Fulbright to India pre-departure orientation in DC in June as well! Good luck to you all out there!

all good questions. my research does have a gender/women's studies component to it and i have many years of mentoring female students but i still have no idea what my chances are. by creepily google searching the winners last year i found that a lot of the winners for the american fellowship specifically work on gender/sexuality/women's studies. a lot of them were researching rights issues and the law side of things, but also some in education, sociology, health. some already appeared to be associate professors which seemed strange since this is a dissertation completion grant...hopefully someone on this forum will win it this year and that way we can have a clearer understanding of the ideal candidate

yea, mine still says "recommended" as well. past threads have tried relentless to de-code the meaning behind those statuses but for naught.

like an obsessed person, i was going through all the AAUW GradCafe threads over the past years...and NO ONE has won it on the site yet. what are the odds?! hopefully that's about to change...good luck to you!

i applied! getting antsy
