She was nice but fairly vague. It sounded like several days but all should be out by the end of the week. Here's to hoping!

Ha I did the same thing too! Knowing me, I would have waited even later, but the deadline was the day before my thesis was due. Coincidentally, get my thesis comments back tomorrow... WHY does Fulbright have to work with my department to make my life so freaking stressful?!? I agree on the unsettling bit, but my bet is they at least save some spots for exceptional people who turn their applications in exceptionally close to the deadline. Or, MA postal service blows. Let's hope for the latter.

Germany ETA's: Just spoke to Cara on the phone because the wait finally got to me (to be fair, first time I'd ever actually contacted her... shocked I made it this long). Apparently letters were sent out on a rolling basis, so some are still going out this week. She said something about how they got sent out depending on when they heard back from Germany/when they got the final American clearance. Not quite sure what this means as far as THE answer goes, but I've decided to resign myself to a rejection until I hear otherwise. Also, she said she did indeed email out if things were missing from your application, so at least that's a relief.

Good luck and keep me posted if you hear anything! Mildly anxious as to why it's taking so long (well, you know, four whole days) for me to get mail from New York. Enjoy the beer and strengthen the liver for Germany next year!

Hey onthewindowsill! I'm in Boston and still didn't get a letter today? Did you hear back?

Looks like someone just found out about ETA for Germany according to the spreadsheet? Sorry for creeping--I'm waiting on the same thing. Also, congrats to the person who got it!
