I'm still waiting to hear from Boston and Columbia...

So, I was asked to do a general statement not mentioning departments, professors or even the university's name... And that was sent out by Fulbright to the different universities. I didn't do the applications myself. I did write to a couple of professors in every uni before applying, but some of them didn't reply. And I also emailed the admissions contact person to let them know I couldn't customise my application. About half of them replied saying they'd let the admissions committee know. I have two years' full funding with Fulbright, so I'm hoping they will like that almost half price haha Fingers crossed!

I'm getting really desperate. I have a Fulbright scholarship so I they handled applications on my behalf and I wasn't able to send customised statements, etc. I did email the admissions contact points to let them know my application was general and some of them got back to me saying they'd let the committee know. I've applied for Berkeley, UCLA, Columbia, Boston University and the University of Kansas (PhD, social anthropology). No interviews so far so I'm guessing it's a no from all but Kansas and UCLA (!) Good luck to everyone!!
