well said! i am hoping for the best for us all!!!! Molly, not sure about the time but im in NYC last year someone posted they got their email around 6. but who knows when... hopefully early

@waveaflag, LOL, seriously -__-

i have a phone interview with TFA on friday, and theFulbright waiting game has been throwing off my preparation for that!!! ...wait this probably means our advisors will likely know the results by the end of today, right?

thanks for the update legallyproper!!! i definitely need a drink

me too a little, but all of my friends think I am crazy... so im glad you all understand why I am slightly losing my mind lol!

lol i have a feeling that i am not going to wanna open the email when it comes!!! also, i used 12 point font lol, i was too nervous not to

thats weird

you're right last year they heard the evening of jan 20th a thursday Marcello, lol tomorrow, I doubt it... it would be nice though

thats just the pattern from the past few years

@molly, the FPA's arent even supposed to tell us what they know, so I dont know why they find out before we do. @biomed2012 wow 10 years... i've been trying to hold on to that same mentality, but its so hard. someone in a previous fulbright thread linked this article, http://www.karolinkabulgaria.com/2008/09/14/fulbright-applications/ it pretty much describes my feelings, and i bet a ton of other people feel the same! anyway, how is everyone trying to keep their minds occupied? im doing a really bad job at staying away from gradcafe and gmail. And reading current ETA blogs are not helping!!!

yea the advisors are notified a day before us

@Molly, thanks for the update. I am so nervous, hopefully the week goes by fast.

my FPA said he hasn't heard anything yet, but he expects to hear something soon... -__-

hopefully my FPA emails me back tomorrow, i'll let you know what he says. Anyway, I chose Turkey because I have been obsessed with it ever since I took a class that focused on women in turkey, with a turkish professor and she was awesome! where did you apply?

omg... im so confused now. I may email my FPA... like how can their be so many conflicting answers!!!

oh wow you called, thanks! but the wait continues...

Now that I am officially done with school, I dont have anymore distractions so these next few weeks waiting on that email will be agony. I keep having dreams/nightmares about it lol.

wow, I didn't even know there was a FB page ...just found it. I wonder what kind of news it is lol.

@cabooklover-- last year they found out January 20th, and the year before they found out January 29th. Apparently though, the FPA's find out a day before we do. im so anxious!!!

it was about the application process... but i doubt it means anything that you didnt get it

i just filled out the survey, but I was so freaked out when I got the email lol. December is almost over, so now we don't have that much time to wait.

this is exactly what I think! And its like, we never really know what they are looking for in candidates. anyway, now that I am close to the end of finals, the idea of waiting another month for the first decisions is starting to freak me out again!!

Yea, this wait is torture! And all I can think about is how much longer we have to wait. I thought school would keep me busy and distracted but it's not working! lol

@Delikanli88-- thanks! Iyi sanslar to you too! @lorenalareina-- I have no idea how much the campus interview is weighed, maybe someone else can chime in with their opinions on that. Also, I know what you mean about vague projects. I think mine was a little vague also, I was afraid that being too specific would make me seem inflexible. We may never know what they look for, I am just hoping for the best (most of the time lol)

i applied for an ETA in Turkey, but I don't speak Turkish. I have been practicing a little conversational Turkish though. What about you?
