Thanks for the reassuring words, Kyjin! So did you do Fulbright Student or Fulbright-Hays? Am I correct to assume that there are PhD students applying for both? Based on what I've read, I got the sense that dissertation research = Fulbright-Hays.

I'm thinking about applying for a research Fulbright in the future, but the eligibility requirement about not having lived in the country you're applying to for a significant period of time is a bit perplexing. I have an E. Asian studies background and advanced language skills (Korean), but according to Fulbright Id be at a disadvantage if I applied there. Im interested to hear how others have crafted interesting research proposals for countries outside their "focus," but still relevant to their research/career going forward. Thanks!

Success! Hope you all got good news too...

I know...we definitely should hear this week. Considering how much Ive been obsessing this past month, Ill be realllllllly disappointed if I dont make it through. Good luck!

Ahh, so I guess youre on a waitlist or something? Congrats anyways. Do you think youll wait it out a while? Im actually at IU already in a different dept., but heard nothing at all...I must be wayyy down the list.

Really?? So they offered admission, but no funding? Ive heard they sent out the first round offers to people...so I guess Im on a waitlist? Havent heard anything

Anyone hear back from Indiana yet?

And to complete the anthro shutout, a rejection from Brown this morn. I'm curious as to others' backgrounds....do you have BAs/MAs in anthro already? I feel like being a relative "outsider" to the field (Ive taken 3 courses in my career) might have put me at a disadvantage...

Congrats to the Mich people...unfortunately it didnt work out for me either Seems like the ling. anthropologists among us are having much better luck this year!

I heard the same..and that's what discouraged me from even applying there!

It seems like only the linguistic anth people were contacted then? Im still holding out hope..I think if I can score outside funding, it might secure me a spot.

Rejection from Duke. I did consider it quite a reach, considering the # they admit each year.

Im guessing its a no-go for Duke if I havent heard about an interview. Ah well, was a longshot!

Semifinalist..yahoooo!

I applied to Duke as well and followed the citation model (probably had 4 in my SOP). Sociocultural @Duke is known for being HIGHLY theoretical so I think its good to show a grasp of the lit.
