UK FINALIST. Best birthday present ever.
congrats to all finalists for Germany and U.K. For those who didn't get it, I'm so sorry. and for those who haven't heard yet, good luck!!!
 

@medievalist86 and @McGhee Thank you!! I'm so beyond excited to study at UEA! I just wish more of us had been accepted. @medievalist86 and @Dilemma1, sending you all the good vibes and good fortune and hoping you get bumped up (or, barring that, that you win your other scholarships)! I'm so grateful for how wonderfully supportive all of you on this forum have been, and I hope that if this year isn't your year, next year will be!

I just got the first email congratulating me--haven't gotten the second yet!

Just got notified - I got the research Fulbright to Germany!!!!!! Best possible news to wake up to here on the West coast <3 SO HAPPY!

I GOT IT OMG I AM DYING!

Mexico just emailed me! I got it!

I am going to Colombia  !!!!!!

I'm considering drinking scotch at 2 pm at a professional conference at this point 
Fulbright should really give out voucher for meditation clinic or something with the semi-finalist notifications 

So what god do I have to sacrifice to, in order to hear back from Korea ETA today? sigh

I got Peru research!!!! ?? 

I am literally reaching my limit... I need to know 

Anxiously waiting for Latin America too  I have been scared of being a super positive person when it comes to these type of things because I am so used to rejections from all the scholarships, graduate programs, fellowships, summer internships, etc. I find it very hard to be super optimistic at this point, especially in such a soul crushing and competitive grant.  Sending good juju vibes to the universe now and hoping we at least get to know our fate this week.  

Well, my application ended up going through really late because of an administrative error, and so I just got my offer letter 2 days ago--and in it, they announced I had been awarded a scholarship for the exact amount of the full tuition fee. But UEA doesn't offer full scholarships for international post grads, as far as I can tell from their website. So I'm wondering if this unnamed yet very large and unexpected scholarship could be what I'm hoping it might be...won't know until Fulbright officially notifies, though!

I accepted my offer last year and deferred so I could try for the Fulbright. There is one scholarship I qualify for that covers half-bursary, but that's it.  I really don't want to go in more debt for an MA! 

Sadly, no. The Fulbright Award is my only chance of being able to afford accepting my university's offer.  I hope we get our decisions tomorrow! I don't know how much more of this waiting I can stand. ?

That would be fun! After the results for this year come out we'll have to do that  

Hi everyone! I just made an account today, as I found out this morning I was selected as a finalist for the Netherlands! I applied to a special degree-seeking program at the VU University of Amsterdam, where I'll be studying art history. Any other NL finalists or art history applicants?
And thanks to everyone on this board for addressing so many of the things I had questions about (i.e. State Dept. craziness) -- I've been poking around here for awhile, but never felt I had anything to add....until now!  Hope everyone else hears good news soon!
 

Selected for research to Bulgaria! Congratulations to everyone else, and patience and good vibes to the alternates! You're all amazing. Anyone else going to be in Sofia this fall?

***opens up computer***
***gets messenger notification that my best friend just received the NSF GRFP***
***freaks out uncontrollably for her***
***checks my email***
***sees the Fulbright notification for Bulgaria Research***
***sees an A***
***"FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU*****************KKKKK***
In reality, I am incredibly grateful to have made it this far and to have shared the anxiety waiting with all of you. Fingers crossed, I can be promoted!!!! GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!!!

Got Georgian ETA!

I find it rather funny (perhaps not coincidental) that so many of us applying for the UK partnership are in Washington. That is CRAZY!
Also, I ran out of likes so CONGRATS to all you new Fulbright awardees!! Woohoo!

I'm actually an East Bay Cali native, but now in North Tacoma/Ruston. So yes, very rainy!  I think that weather makes me more productive lol. If it's gray and gloomy might as well spend it writing or in a museum, archive or library, right?  If we all get it, we'll have to form a WA to UK group!
