I'm feeling the same way right now. I have class at 7am too and I can not sleep. I turned off all email notifications. Grad Cafe is pretty much going to tell me when emails go out.

Lol ? Morning, y'all--today's the day! Let's gooooo!

Fulbright Research - Germany. So anxious! 

Anyone else feel like Heihei from Moana when he realizes he's on the boat? 

So interesting that FPAs communicate with you guys--- maybe Michigan is too big of a school but I don't hear a peep from them outside of a generic email in early January with the 30th info!   I hope we all receive great news.
Friendly reminder that Fulbright is super competitive and the status of a proposal has NO bearing on your self worth. Many of us will have to apply multiple times to get to a semi-finalist round, and many more to get the award. You are smart! And resilient! And your ideas are worth pursuing. 
I say this as an artist and we get lots (LOOOOOOOTS) of "No Thank You's" every month.  

GUYS!! Just got a message from my FA: "Just saw a message from Fulbright 2 minutes ago. You should hear by END OF THE DAY TOMORROW!" I applied for Research Study to Greece, so not sure if that is for everyone or not.
 
UPDATE: All programs/countries should be announced by end of the day tomorrow!

Hey All!
ETA applicant to Sri Lanka here. I hate being on my phone period but this waiting game has me on it 24/7. Does anyone know the percentage of folks that get selected from semi-finalist status to finalist? 
 
Also, Czech ETAs. Could anyone post the email that you received with the subject heading too? Trying to vicariously feel just as good as you all must feel. Congrats!

Haha I just came to post this same thing. If that's the case that we are semi-finalists then yay us!! If we're not semi-finalists then this will feel like a cruel joke. Either way I hope others find out their results soon.

Anyone else applying to an ETA in the Czech Republic get an email from the Czech Fulbright commission asking to fill out an additional country specific questionnaire? I got an email addressed "dear semi-finalist"... Not sure this means I am a semi-finalist and the Czech commission has decided to send emails out before the US lets us know. Very confusing but I would assume this means the countries already know who has moved forward, so everyone else (hopefully) should know soon too!!

They always had a date of January 30th but it depends how quickly they get all of the decisions back in a timely manner. Each person gets about 50-100 applications (depending on country and grant category). If they finish it early we know early. 
I literally go to school a few doors down from IIE and due to the first two weeks of January being a mess a lot of the government buildings in the area, including the UN were closed. They are probably behind to be honest.

I applied to New Zealand to research how tourism effects and/or improves cultural connections (ie. Maori culture)in country while getting my graduate/Masters degree.
Looking at what everyone else applied for mine sounds boring lol.

They say that every year. Don't expect mid-Jan necessarily, but just because they say January 30th doesn't mean it's necessarily 30th.

Hey everyone,
So i just found this group right after I submitted my application. I am applying for a Study/Research Grant to New Zealand. My school just recently got an advisor so I am the only one from my school who applied. Crossing my fingers and good luck to everyone else.
