Found out yesterday that I was rejected from New Zealand. Extremely frustrated. I had THREE letters of affiliation and terrific letters of rec. I am also fairly established in the field in which I applied. I called Fulbright to see if I might be able to get some information on why I was rejected, but apparently that is just not possible. At this point, I think I might be willing to apply again next year, but it's frustrating if I can't find out what I did "wrong." I certainly don't want to make the same mistake(s) -- and maybe go through this rejection again! Any others in the same boat?
Good luck to those still waiting!
