Hi Everyone,

I am a first time Fulbright applicant.  Luckily, I am currently a semi-finalist for research in Greece.  I see others mentioning interviews, but I haven't received any emails other than the semi-finalist status.  Anyone have any experience with the Greek Fulbright committee?  This is nerve-racking, especially as I am currently working on proposals for Fulbright-Hays, Title VIII, and Mershon International Securities, just in case the IIE doesn't come through.  And, good luck to all the semi-finalist out there!

Hey Chris!

I am also a semi-finalist for research in Greece! This is a late response, but just so you know I did not have an interview. My FPA was asking around for information in interviews and couldn’t find anything, so she told me to email Greece. I did, and this was their response:

“Greetings from Fulbright Greece.  The selection of the US Fulbright ETA Students has an interview component for all applicants that make it to final round.  There is always the possibility of an interview with the finalists of the US Fulbright Student research program as well, but mainly when we need clarifications about your project and/or affiliations in Greece.  In any event, if such a need arises we will inform you and provide best times/dates to discuss.”

What research topic and affiliation did apply with? I’ll be working at the Univeristy of Athens on a geology project.

Good luck to you!!

Also just making an account now. Based on previous posts, I guess your FPAs know whether or not you are semi-finalists!

Yes, they will know tomorrow morning!

My FPA told me: "FPAs don't know until tomorrow am, actually. We do not personally announce to applicants. We are notified just a hair in advance so that we can prepare to be supportive for those who may not advance, primarily. Also to start planning mock-interviews, getting recent country interview advice from colleagues, etc."

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!
