Anathema

I was particularly touched by gesture of MPA/ID Director Carol who took the pain writing to me at the time of release of result that-
"As a Fulbright recipient, this message probably went to IIE on your behalf, so I wanted to alert you to the good news directly.
 Congratulations and best wishes!".
So, technically, I did not need to wait for an email from local Fulbright office about my result; Carol informed me that I had made it!! 

Yeah, slightly worried about how this entire thing pans out. So, the list of Universities had a mix of both- my choice and what IIE chose for me. Applications went to HKS, UMichigan, GWU, and Georgia Tech.

Some of those who got offers for the HKS MPP might also have applied for the MPA at the WWS which is a far more generous program in terms of FinAid. Besides yields are supposed to be lower this time so hang tight; you might still receive an offer from HKS.

Nothing thus far. Tried calling them -- straight to voicemail. I guess it will be on Monday if not later..

Fellow Fulbright scholarship recipients, @spnfiim, @Anathema, @galaxymega, please post if you get to know anything from your country office.

Can you guys who got acceptances please post on the main page so we know what kind of profiles got in?

Although I won’t be knowing my result today but I am still there with all of you my friends!! Right from early posts on this thread, I always tried to provide one input or another.. Today, when we have inched this much closer, it looks a fantastic journey of anxious waiting together. I am wishing you all the very best and may we continue our friendship at HKS and beyond! 

Imagine being a Fulbright scholar and waiting for HKS to send results to IIE and then on to your local Fulbright commission and finally to yourself. HKS releasing decisions is just the first step for us..

Think it'll be tomorrow or Friday. I really hope it doesn't cascade to next week!! ?

Just got to know my Columbia result. I am in with generous FinAid and an additional option of TA position (contingent) in second year!! Thrilled!!  
And to average out this excitement, WWS has rejected me..
BTW, I am posting the 400th post on this thread.. 

I'm in as well. Don't know anything about funding etc. because I received the news through my local Fulbright agency.

Hi guys, congratulations for all the good news...hope none of you will go to those schools as HKS opens its doors...
Is it that if the blog is not updated at 8am-ish, then it will be done at 1pm-ish after the decisions come out is it? So, if there's a post in the morning, we can go to sleep at night (here in India) in peace....

Hi friends!! Just got to share something. I have received my first admit from Ford School, UMichigan for two-year MPP. Apparently, the letter (email) was sent on Friday itself but it goes to Fulbright then from there it goes to concerned mission of the particular country.. Anyways, I am so happy. 

I asked, apparently they received an acceptance for MPA not MPP. 

I asked, apparently they received an acceptance for MPA not MPP. 

I get that. It was the same with previous years too. I meant they are preparing for the result now and we will hear about it very soon...My heart is bumping quicker than it did when I met my 1st love...

Anyone else hear back from U-M Ford??? Got my acceptance earlier today!!! Screaming!!!

Got in. $66k total funding.

They have also mentioned that-
“If you applied to other scholarships, you will find out about the outcome of those decisions at around the same time as your admission decision, which is typically mid-March”. 

No, I mean if they were to admit that an interview invite means the candidate stands a strong chance of final admission then someone could easily turn around and call the chronology of the whole process flawed. So to avoid this, they would say "there's no connection" - anyone who wanted to defend the process would.

Yes you are right. These are just interview invites for the fellowships and by no means guarantee the scholarship. Dubin just awards like 5 or 6 fellowships each year,  (I am guessing the numbers are small even for other scholarships) which are announced later to the decision or sometimes alongside.
