Well, finally received the news of rejection for ETA to Italy. If anyone wants to update the spreadsheet, I'm listed under "SAO." Received it 5/9/2011 in small white envelope. Congrats to those who are headed abroad with Fulbright, and congrats to everyone in general for making it to finalist status!!
Hey! I am right there with you. But good news is, I e-mailed our contact (Rachel) a few days ago, and she said they were aiming to send out our decisions by the end of that week, meaning by yesterday. So... we could be hearing back any day now! FINALLY. Good luck!!!
I'm a finalist for the ETA in Italy and really wondering whether I'll find out today! If they sent out ETA decisions with the full grant decisions on Friday, I'm not sure why I haven't received anything yet since I'm on the East coast. I wish I knew whether they sent out full decisions and ETA decisions together. The suspense is killing me!
