Alternate Questions:
(1.) IF an alternate is to be selected as a principle grantee, does Fulbright have a standard way of informing (via snail-mail, e-mail, or phone)?
(2.) Time-frame? I talked to Rachel regarding when we may hear back and she said to realistically hold tight for another month (from date of when I found out about alternate status). Yet, she went on to mention that she’s had experience informing Croatia-applicants (as I specifically asked about that) as late as August (and into the fall). What do you all consider as a realistic and general time-frame?
* Someone here noted that countries have approximately 3 alternates in waiting, however I was informed that Croatia has about ~10 alternates in line, and that mere “ranking” on this list is not necessarily the main determining factor in moving to principle status.
Thanks for the previous response re : grant/fellowship/other alternatives to Fulbright!
Hoping for the best (Fulbright or other grand endeavors) to all!
Tough but critical to keep our heads up ...
