  1. Absolutely. I have to apply for admission to my host institution. And I was happy to share the news with the scholars with whom I will be working.
  2. Nah, if you're Jewish it means you don't need a Fulbright: you're already in Narnia.
  3. Received email from Holskin today confirming my award to Belgium. As expected....
  4. We already tried that a while back and it turns into a shit show really quickly.
  5. I think that the emails will start going out next week some time. The earlier the better!
  6. This is correct. Even if the Commission from your country sends you a physical letter that asks for signatures, the NY office won't recognize it until they've sent out their emails.
  7. Don't give up hope yet: you may be alternate, if not accepted. I know a Belgian alternate-turned-accepted from three years back. He received nothing physically at first, then email, then physical, then another email.....
  8. I have some information regarding the confusion over my early notification. The short story is that Rachel Holskin won't acknowledge it. She responded to my email confirming my mailing of my signed copies of the "terms of fellowship" document to NY by saying that I hadn't been notified. I was like, "What do you mean I haven't been notified?" Basically, she was saying that the NY office hadn't notified me.... This means that when the FPAs were notified that notification would come via email, that has nothing to do with whether any of us receive notification from the various country commissions. The two notifications appear to be parallel processes, and, in my case, Belgium jumped the gun--sending physical notification before email. Rachel was adamant that, as a representative of the NY office, she couldn't speak to my application--even though I have a letter from the Executive Director of the Belgian Commission. Bureaucracy blows.
  9. I believe it was Freud who defined "neurosis" as the continued appearance of a compulsive behavior even once the original stimulus for that behavior has disappeared. So, that's why.
  10. Thanks for the support, but you must have failed to realize how good a troll I am! I managed to contact your friend and get the same information out of them even before you did! I AM GOD.
  11. I think part of the reason it came early is that Brussels is at the top of the Eurozone food chain. They knew budget-wise how they could proceed, and did, first. They could thus go ahead with their physical notification to me. You'll all still get physical notification, I imagine, because most, if not all, admitted students have to sign physical letters as contracts and return them to Europe, NY, and DC. It will just be that most people will get emails first, whereas in the past, the inverse has been true (physical letters, then emails; I know this from various friends).
  12. I think the brilliant logical skills employed here mean hooblikahn is a shoo-in for the Fulbright. The only reason somebody would be a member of Grad Cafe for multiple years would be to pull a fast one on the 2012-2013 Fulbright Forum. OBVIOUSLY. I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS MOMENT FOR DECADES!!!! YESSSSSS!!!!!
  13. But my letter is signed by the American head of the Belgian Commission. . . .?? Whatevs. I think everybody is over thinking this.
  14. FWIW, my Belgian notification came directly from Belgium, European postmark and everything. But we all know that I'm making this up. . . .
  15. Private message me and I'll give you all the personal details you want: name, university, contacts in Leuven, the three different addresses I have to mail my acceptance letters to. . . .
