Would an applicant, with an otherwise favorable application (including research experience, high GPA/verbal GRE, and publications), be denied admission/funding based on a low quantitative GRE score?

Who was waitlisted?

And do those things find their way into your academic studies?

Who applied?

Which US PhD programs include interviews in their admissions process?

Congratulations to all who got it No luck this time, either, but now I have the summer to write my thesis... On to other plans, as well.

I applied for beginning Hindi, three. Best of luck to us all What are you two studying?

Thank you for the insight! A little more waiting is just fine with me. Happy Valentine's Day, all!

Yes Monday perhaps! Good luck all!

Will it be today?

Hi All, I applied to the beginning Hindi program, and I made it past the first round. Congratulations to all who have made it this far. I am a socio grad student and I am writing my thesis based on fieldwork in NE India. It would be amazing to be able to study over the summer, since my work is at the community-level. Best of luck to you all.

I made an error in reading. The visa type is "Entry" with the affiliate being faculty at the school the ETA is assisting at. It seems both Research and Entry types both require 6 weeks. According to the outsourcing site: "Applications sent by mail take about 3 to 5 working/business days to process from the date of receipt. This time schedule does not apply to services where prior approval is required from authorities in India or other Indian embassies or for Non-US citizens." Does anyone here have experience with "Entry" visas? In your experience, do they typically take 6 weeks to process or is it feasible to expediate the process (for extra $$)?

Hi All, I have a visa question. I was accepted for an ETA to India, and the research visa processing time is a minimum of 6 weeks. Research visa processing cannot begin until letters of affiliation are sent out (they have not yet). I am visiting India this summer from mid May until the third week of June. My passport will be with me during this time, and, as we cannot apply for research visas in-country, I will not be able to start the research visa application process until I return to the States, roughly four weeks prior to the date I must leave again for Fulbright orientation. The four week window I will be back in the States does not seem wide enough to allow time for the minimum research visa processing time. Does anyone know of any options I have at this moment to ensure I can obtain a visa by the orientation date? I appreciate any help offered, thank you.

I received my acceptance letter today!! India ETA, postmarked April 16th. A sincere thanks to everyone in the forum for their feedback and support

I am waiting on an ETA.

The post I cited in previous post:

In response to a previous post on Fulbright Facts, wouldn't it be helpful to compile a little guide to future Fulbrighters from the info in this forum? This has been an amazing (if somewhat tiring and/or stressful) process, and the information generated from our dialogues would certainly be useful for "future generations."

CONGRATS!!!! I hope to hear back about India this week. I live in the Southeast.

This may be a funny question, I know, but this has been an anxiety-ridden process for us all, it seems. Music has been a great comfort for me and I was wondering if you all had any special "anthems" that have helped you through his time. I would say Ryan Adams' "Let It Ride" is at the top of my playlist at the moment.

Hi, Does anyone know approximately how much will the necessary medical tests cost? Thank you.

Hi All, I was recently accepted into the graduate Film and Media Arts program at Temple University. I was wondering if there are any others in this forum going to Temple in the Fall for this program or a different program. Thank you.

Hi All, Congrats to those who have received good news!! Are letters being sent to permanent or current address? Thank you

Hi, I intially applied to Nepal for an ETA and received the same call from Charles informing me I was being considered for other countries. I just checked my online application, and it appears the country name has been changed from Nepal to India. I am curious whether the program in Nepal will still run as expected, especially considering the political tension in the Valley. Good luck to all, still, in this tangle of a process.
