  1. I'd wager that she probably gets a couple calls like that a day, and just tells everyone she doesn't know. Just a guess though.
  2. Good luck today everyone! May the odds be forever in your favor.
  3. I'm already thinking about the specifics of next year (too crazy) and wondering if anyone knows how flight arrangements work? Is it a reimbursement, or a stipend? The Spain page says that they give $1,250 for flights, but I'm wondering if I can book a redeye for say $1,000 and use the extra change for set-up costs.
  4. This is going to be a great year. I can't wait to be back in that beautiful country
  5. Another poster indicated they received their regional placement. Does your letter say that too?
  6. Hey congrats! See you there! Viva EspaƱa!
  7. Hey where does it tell you the regional placement in the letter? I'm not seeing that anywhere
  8. I also for the ETA in Spain! I'm over the moon. I'm sorry for everyone who is still waiting. These past few weeks have been a struggle!
  9. That's too bad! Well at least we know that they're working over there, given that the research grant results came out. Maybe by the end of this week, or at the least next.
  10. Nah, I got in off the waitlist at my college and it didn't impact my experience at all.
  11. I hope so too! I'm so tense right now
  12. I'm hoping for Madrid! Probably my favorite city in the world. I put Galicia down as my second choice, though . I applied for the Auxiliares de ConversaciĆ³n program, which accepts pretty much everyone, so I'll be in Spain no matter what. BUT the Fulbright program is much better run and pays quite a bit more, so I've got all my fingers and toes crossed... Good luck!
  13. Probably they just got finished with those sooner, since there are so many fewer research grants. I'm so tempted to call and ask when the ETA awards will be announced
  14. I'm waiting for news on the Spain ETA grant, which is usually announced the same day as the research grant, but so far hasn't (even though research has!!). I'm wondering: are decisions ever announced over the weekend? Also, are they only announced during NY government hours (9-5)? Meaning, should I tune out until Monday, or could this happen anytime??
  15. YES. Between LSAT and this I've been reduced to a puddle of nerves this year.
  16. Just to clarify, it's the host country that notifies us?
  17. Does anyone have the link to that Fulbright page that said that countries would have to file their decisions with the committee in New York by March 3rd?
  18. The issue is that Spain is pretty evenly split between March and April. Oh well.
  19. Do you all think it would be a bad idea to email the Fulbright Commission in my host country (which has a very large ETA program) to ask when the results are coming out? It would just be so helpful for me to know whether it's this month, next month, for planning purposes.
  20. Do you go to a big-name school like Princeton, one that would definitely be known by commissions abroad?
  21. Was your FPA talking just about the Indonesia program? My FPA said they thought that you still only have a 1/3 or 1/2 chance of winning, even as a semi-finalist. That just doesn't seem right to me, though, so I think they might have just been trying to hamper my expectations. If your FPA was talking about the ETA grant in general being 70% in round two, that would be wonderful.
  22. Recommended for Spain! I'm so happy, but if I get rejected in the next round, the hit will be so much harsher. I really wish I knew what percentage of semi-finalists become finalists...
  23. Same for me. It's been a really tough day, literally 12 hours of checking waiting!
