I’m in the same boat! I was accepted into the University program mid-January. Curiously, my fulbright application says it was updated 13 days ago, which is one day after I was accepted to the University. I assume Fulbright needs to make sure I was accepted into the program either way?
Thankfully, my deposit isn’t due until April. I think by April we’ll know for sure if we’re finalists.
Like all of you, I’m waiting anxiously to hear about initial notifications!
