And with each passing day my descent into madness becomes more and more literal and less figurative. 
Chin up though, fellow UK applicants (and everyone else waiting!). Excruciating though it may be, we're all still in the running until told otherwise. 

Sometimes, I think they'll never tell us.

As expected, Trump did want to completely eliminate the Fulbright Program and the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs. Fulbright has been spared, but only through reductions to other important international programs. 
Fuck everything about this administration.

I WAS SELECTED FOR A FULBRIGHT ETA POSITION FOR LA RIOJA SPAIN! I'm a senior in college and teach Spanish in an immersion program once a week to kids and I checked my email during class this evening (my kiddos probably thought I was insane) and I couldn't help but leap for joy once I read my email! I am so lucky! Being a first generation college student and the first in my family to graduate high school, I don't feel I even deserve such a prestigious award.  Who else will be in La Rioja, Spain with me? We all have to talk!!!

Ok, now I'm going to go back and read everyone's posts. Congrats to everyone who got good news today!

@legato and @elbarton I contacted the Fulbright Program Coordinator in my country with a sneaky email saying "Just wanted to confirm that I did not miss an interview email, are all ETA's interviewed..." and got a really prompt nice response saying that they are only interviewing those whose applications brought up additional questions. SO since I didn't get an interview and a few other Bulgaria folks did (which really freaked me out) I am taking this as my application was clear and concise. Hopefully that is also the case for you both!

Can confirm not everyone is interviewed.

Hey there!
I am in a very similar situation regarding my UK partnership award to UCL. I only know of one other person applying to the same university who also has not heard back about an interview. So I think there very well could be a few more of us who they still have not gotten to. It's possible the UK is being delayed.
Also, there have been some posts here and in the 2016-17 Fulbright forum if you care to search back about someone's FPA saying that the UK occasionally does not interview candidates that go on to win because their application is strong enough.
I hope this gives you at least something to go off of...I am still checking my spam filters very regularly!!
Cheers
