Perhaps it means you got the grant. After all, wouldn't a bigger manila envelope take longer to find its way in the mail then a little white one? Good luck to you both!

I got my letter from IIE on Monday--I was listed as an alternate. The letter was postmarked Friday--I believe all notifications, acceptance and otherwise, went out at the same time. So hopefully you'll get yours soon!

I wouldn't be so worried yet!! When did you e-mail her? I am sure it has nothing to do with acceptance or rejection. We'll all know soon enough, so no worries! At least you have other options--I have no other options at this point in time to look forward to...

If you are waiting to hear about Sri Lanka I e-mailed Cara and go this response: Hi --, I am hoping to send out notifications this week or early next week for Sri Lanka. Thanks, Cara Cara G. Doble Program Officer – Germany, South and Central Asia U.S. Student Fulbright Programs Hopefully our waiting will soon be at an end!!!

No, I haven't contacted Cara (Cara Doble is the contact for Central/South Asia). I was going to wait until the end of the week since last year's candidates did not find out until April 15th. I will let you know after I contact her whether I heard back from her. If either of you want to contact her before then, let me know if you hear anything. I am not familiar with the language. I had the opportunity to go to Sri Lanka a few years ago and picked up a Sinhala phrase book, but I can't say that has been helping me a great deal....

I am anxiously awaiting to hear about Sri Lanka too. Did you apply for Full or ETA? I applied for ETA...
