Sounds reasonable. It being nearly Friday, any Alternatives they'd need would have already been contacted.

Not I. I'm hoping though.

Well, I met and married my wife during school here so I'll be away from her for a full year if I get this. Longest so far has been three months last summer before we married. If I don't get it, I'll continue on with my third year and try again next year.

Well, you saw it was based on a true story. They had Schriver interview from prison at the end.

Interestingly enough, I'm 60% certain I contracted Zik V while working in Jamaica last year. It's definitely a problem in the region, and it's spreading. So, I'm in law school. 32. BA in History, will have a JD and LLm from here next May assuming I don't get off the alternate list. I have zero experience in my selected language. 1 year as a cop, 5 years in logistics. About 12 years living overseas with a fraction of that working.

It would be nice to see stats. I figure if it doesn't happen on the first round of passes, it probably won't. There were no Georgian fellows last year, so I honestly have no idea if I turned in the only proposal for that country or language. As an aside I'm curious as to y'alls grad programs. A classmate got awarded a fellowship last year from my school but I don't think people in my field apply that often.

Not Russian, but in the periphery. I'm an alternate for Georgia/Georgian.

Thanks. That is info I didn't have, but it helps.

Congrats again to all the folks who got accepted. To those that were rejected, I hope you get another chance. It seems I'm the only one on the alternate list for the fellowship in this thread. I know one person who was selected off that list last cycle. What do you think my chances are this cycle?

and I was an alternate for the fellowship, so that's all three options already sent out to people.
-
are all of you in the fellowship program?
-
I was notified of being selected as an alternate for the fellowship.
-
I'll have one last chance. You can do the fellowship as long as you're matriculated, so the last ditch effort would be to apply again next year after all my classes are over and delay graduation until I get back. I'd really really really prefer to not have to do that because it'll mean I'll already have paid out Bar Study fees.

Good Friday and Easter Monday. Both holidays to most fed offices and schools. The decision will either be tomorrow, or next week.
