@heretofulbright @AMill @ginahyena1 @erein42 SO, Fulbright to Turkey is NOT cancelled yet, because guess who's a semi-finalist?! I didn't get my email until 6pm tonight! Now I have to get my transcripts in by the 28th!

@ginahyena1 @AMill @erein42 I can now validate this message as I've received the same : Hello Marcus, For the last two years, the ETA Program in Turkey has been suspended due to security concerns. The Fulbright Commission and U.S. State Department are evaluating the situation and hope to have a decision shortly regarding the viability of the 2018-19 ETA program. Consequently, the State Department has requested that IIE delay notifying applicants to Turkey pending the outcome. Applicants to Turkey will be notified once an update is available. All the best, Sarah I hope they don't cancel it again... It's been my dream since undergrad to live and work in Turkey

@heretofulbright Merhaba! Bende biraz Turkce biliyorum! Undergrad icinde Turkce ogrendim. Sen nerede Turkce ogrendin? What Fulbright program did you apply for?

I still have yet to hear anything regarding Turkey. I sent them an email tonight, hopefully something will come back this week. Wishing all my possible Turkish compatriots the best of luck! Inshallah we'll see each other one day! Keep you posted

Hi guys! Just opened this today because I still haven't received anything! I applied to be an ETA in Turkey, and looking at the Google Doc it doesn't look like anyone has gotten anything for Turkey... I hope this doesn't have something to do with the precarious political situation and the Visa spat earlier this year, or perhaps the government shutdown (it could also be the fact that a forum isn't exactly an accurate way to track data xD)... Has anyone else applied to go to Turkey?
