Germany ETAs, here is a FB group for you to join! https://www.facebook.com/groups/416305472152807/

ETA Finalist to Germany!! So excited!

https://us.fulbrightonline.org/country-review-resources Check out the criteria in detail here.

Come on guys, move to slack so we don't have to deal with fake notifications messing with our emotions and reverting the chat all the time. http://www.fulbrighters.slack.com

No one knows when they'll notify. Others have recommended other people in similar situations to ask for an extension and explain your situation to the university. Fulbright won't give you information early.

Die Deutschen sind es nicht. Alle Länder mussten (angeblich) vor dem 2. März ihre Entscheidungen haben. Ich glaube, wir warten nur wegen der Bürokratie

Hi! I'm hoping to do ETA, but still like to talk all things Germany. Which Bundesländer did you choose?

Yay! Congrats!!

Könnte auch nächste Woche sein. So war es vor ein paar Jahren. Wenn ich raten müsste, würde ich 26.3. sagen haha

What up dude, congrats on being a semi-finalist and roll tide

You don't have to use the app, you can just do it online. Go to #general on the left side-bar to get started.

Great minds think alike haha

I made a copy to my Google Drive, so if they decide to delete the important info on the other tabs, we'll still have it.

Not sure. That would be best though. We should keep the other info and chat somewhere else.

So someone has deleted all of the posts since 1/26 (some of which had very important info for applicants) on the spreadsheet chat. Maybe we should migrate the chat to a more stable platform?

To those who are having the transcript issue, here is what I received from Fulbright: "Hi xxxxx, As per our conversation earlier I tried to track down your BA/MA transcript to verify your MA degree. Unfortunately, as the document was saved in our drive it has expired and we are unable to verify your degree. Would it be possible to have the registrar’s office send another copy to fusptranscripts@iie.org? Sorry for the confusion!" If you are having this issue, you can try and contact them, but if you're about to be going on spring break and your registrar's office will soon be closing, I think it may be a good idea to go ahead and send another copy.

I had this same issue. They notified me that they were missing my MA transcript, but it was part of my BA transcript document, which they did not list as missing. I also have confirmation from the transcript company that the file was read and downloaded. I emailed Fulbright and my advisor, as well as calling today and leaving a message. Hopefully it will get resolved soon, but I'd hate to have to pay for yet another transcript, as I've already sent two in this process and it gets quite pricey after a while.

Hey guys, this is my first time applying for ETA in Germany as well. Ich bin ziemlich aufgeregt

Hello! Just read about this forum from a Fulbrighter’s blog. I received my email saying that I’m a semi-finalist for an ETA in Germany!
