Hi all,
I'm a first-time applicant to a UK Partnership program and I'm trying to figure out how this whole semi-finalist/finalist process works, so I thought I would defer to those of you with more Fulbright experience. It sounds like we probably won't hear officially until Jan 30 to get through the first round of selection, but I heard from my affiliate and (hopefully) future professor in the UK today that he had been asked by Fulbright to rank my application and gave it his full support. Is it pretty standard at this point that Fulbright has been in touch with a professor at the degree program I'm aiming to get my grant for? I don't want to get my hopes up, but at the same time I feel like this should be a good sign, right?
Thanks in advance, and good luck to all!!
I can't imagine it's a bad thing that they asked your Fulbright affiliate to rank your application -- at the same time, my guess is that they do that for all applicants. I get the feeling that your school has a strong input on who gets the Fulbright (it's my guess that if the school is trying to promote a certain department, they will lobby fulbright to select a candidate from that program, given there is an application for it and it is high quality.... could just be my own personal conspiracy though).
Which school did you apply for? Have you been admitted? I am going to London School of Economics -- was already admitted last year but deferred. According to the statistics, LSE seems to have the most fulbright applicants 1/60ish two years ago and 1/48 before that. Noticed some UK schools only have 4-5 applicants.

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!!
I would assume the countries already know -- maybe the Czech Republic jumped the gun, but maybe that means we'll know today or tomorrow! Really hope that means you're officially a semi-finalist, if so congrats! Couldn't imagine getting that email first without confirmation from IIE

When the results come in -- does it come through your advisor at your Uni? There's no fulbright page I should be obsessively refreshing, correct?
-
Yeah -- you're right, actually. Just looked again. Maybe it's not a good sign for my application that I can't even correctly read dates
Guess if they didn't put the 2017/18 cycle up, we won't see 2018/19
-
So has anyone discovered where they are hiding the 2018/19 application statistics? I heard last year they posted fairly soon after the deadline -- this year, not so?
