If I hadn't gotten an email from my advisor myself, I would have thought the same

They're trying to prepare us with the patience we'll need during our time abroad.

Maybe they're watching these threads and just waiting so they can get us completely off guard.

....What if they come out at 6pm EST...

T-minus 5 minutes (give or take) till we find out... We'll either be crying or celebrating but we'll all get through it! Good luck!

CONGRATS!

I feel like I get anxious as every hour comes around... For some reason I have it in my head that they'll email at the start of a new hour and not in the middle...

Clearly we're all stalking reddit and gradcafe for any responses

I saw that too! I think they will come out today by 5pm. I think Fulbright may put the 30th on their website as a final date everyone must be notified and so they have a latest date on their end.

Interesting! My advisor emailed at 4:39pm EST so I guess all the advisors get emailed at the same time too. You think we'll hear around the same time?

Nope! my campus advisor emailed me yesterday saying we would hear today! So I guess he had the result when he emailed me. But either way we find out soon hopefully!! I think most people say between now and 5..

Congrats!! Good luck to everyone!

Which doc are you looking on? This one? https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1AlU2xDiiVhQjK3quPy6qXJuhgXYghzzG8L4YNT0unX0/edit#gid=929221519 It looks like just Malaysia and Finland which I heard have an additional application or something? But they were notified by their host country

I think around 4-5pm. Last year it came out around then. Although I think the year before it came out around 1pm.

Good luck to all! Now the real countdown begins...

Yeah my FPA advisor just told me the same thing. Sometime tomorrow.. sigh

YES! On one hand I want to know if I made it through the first round, on the other... let me live in my fantasy longer! I think the craziest part is that this is ONLY round one! Not even final decisions. That's going to be a mess eek

I think regardless of when we think it'll actually come out, we're all still be frantically checking out emails at all hours of the day. Don't think I'm going to get any sanity until the emails go out!

What if it's all just a big troll and they don't release anything today... been checking my emails every few minutes today! There goes any hope of being productive today!
