Question: Can we go to the country we're paired with earlier than what the grant date specifies? If so, how much earlier? Say my grant date starts on August 10, 2017, can the Fulbright commission office purchase my ticket for June 25, 2017? I graduated early in December, 2016, and I've been itching to go on this journey for some time now. I definitely want to make the most of it. Any answers/comments is appreciated!

Have you gotten notified? I still haven't been notified :/.

Quick question, would having a mental illness disqualify you from a fulbright? I was recently diagnosed with ocd, but it hasn't negatively affected my work. Although I don't know what to expect regarding the medical history and examination portion of the Fulbright. So I just wanted people's thoughts on this :).
