Try searching on the results page to see if anyone's gotten responses. I figure by now you would have heard something. http://thegradcafe.com/survey/

I'm in DC and won't be in California until maybe August. Partner and I will be looking for apartments in downtown SB, most likely. I hope there will still be plenty of places available that late in the summer!

I'll be starting in Geography, also this fall. Are you already in the area or moving out there soon?

If he has contacts in the Boston area, have him reach out to them about opportunities they may know about. They could at least point him in the right direction. If he doesn't know anyone near Boston/Cambridge, have him ask his coworkers or colleagues whether they know anyone in the area working in his field (and might be able to make an introduction).

Lots of rejections from UW Seattle yesterday. Email said "We received over 130 applications for just 14 places in our program, and so it was an extraordinarily competitive process." Too bad! Congrats to the lucky few who were accepted.
-
Meant to add that I'm also applying to UCSB (MA/PhD program). Heard unofficially that my application was referred - very excited to hear officially! I don't know how long it takes them to send out, though. UCSB website says "end of March or early April" which is still awhile from now.
-
Also applied to UW - but Seattle. Should hear back from them around the same time as you I think.
-
Thought I'd start this as placeholder for when people start to hear back.
Where did you apply and what have you heard so far (or, when do you expect to hear a decision)?

Rejected for Indonesia Full grant. Better luck to the others!

Question for Full Grant applicants -- just curious, did any of you reach out to your host institutions to notify them that you made it to the final round?
Yes, I made sure to email all of my references and in-country research contacts as soon as I knew (well, after telling the family and friends). Though I wouldn't officially be taking courses at the institution I'm working with, they're supporting my project and deserve to be kept up-to-date. Also, it's a nice reminder that "I'm probably coming in a few months!"
Good luck to those hearing back today.

I think it might be time for all of us to chill and look at this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fulbright_Program. I know it's only a wiki, but I've spent some time reading about Fulbright grantees and am honored to be even considered.
I hope every person here waiting for a notification gets it and lives it as fully as you can.
That's a great idea for putting this all a bit into context - not to mention giving us some distraction during this leg of the application process. The emphasis on Fulbright as a cultural exchange program is key, and it's good to remember that even if we don't get the fellowship this time around, there are plenty of other ways to conduct your desired project abroad and bring people together in a new way. Plus you always have the option to reapply, I guess
I'd also recommend to posters here to check out this page with a bunch of Fulbrighter stories, varied and inspiring: http://fulbright.state.gov/about/fulbright-stories.html
Hopefully the waiting process isn't too much longer for us!

For those others who are waiting to hear from Indonesia, I spoke to a former Fulbrighter to Indonesia who said it shouldn't be too much longer - he mentioned that Indonesia is usually pretty fast about getting the decisions in (compared to some of the other country committees. I think it's fair to guess we'll hear by late March or early April. Hopefully not took much longer now.

Hey everybody!
This is my first time posting to this forum, although I have been checking it out throughout the application process. I have been recommended for an ETA to Indonesia for 2012-2013! Congratulations to anybody else who has made it to this point and I can't wait to hear about everybody's experiences!
Are there any current grantees or applicants for Indonesia who are posting on here? I'd love to hear your input
Hi Mbeezy,
I'm a recommended candidate for a full grant to Indonesia. There's another user on this forum (Bbdoll) who is recommended for an ETA to Indonesia. I got a lot of great advice from a former Fulbrighter to Indonesia, so I'd urge you to reach out to people for their experiences. A few blogs by Indo ETAs out there, too!
You should also add yourself to the 2012-2013 applicants list here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AuGpbWEh-3b0dHZzTU1BN0lNLU1yeG5XWktnY2k3bmc

Congrats to everyone who made it this far! To those who weren't recommended this round, best wishes in wherever you're going next.
I had been OK about putting this out of my mind until a few days ago, when I started following this topic thread again and having rejection dreams every night. And, well, I guess we can't trust our un/subconscious too much because:

10 more days... good luck everyone! I am trying not to freak out too much, but the good thing about the deadline is that I will be able to move on, and begin focusing much more on my school work
I'm out of school (working full-time) so I'll add that another good thing about the deadline is that my friends will be seeing my face around a lot more! Happy applying, everyone!
-
my campus deadline was today!!! Application "finished" and submitted! Good luck everyone!
Must be a nice feeling! We also have a campus deadline at my university. My advisor says this is well ahead of the national deadline so he'll have a chance to go over all the parts of our applications and then give us a chance to make edits before we submit to Fulbright.
To all the stressed folks - hang in there, keep revising, but make time to relax and hang out with friends too.

For anyone who is applying for one of the Near East and Africa countries, Fulbright is hosting a webinar with Jermaine Jones from 2-4PM EST today: https://www2.gotomeeting.com/register/789860531
The Fulbright Program actually has these kinds of webinars fairly often, and the info is useful in the application process. I find out about them by following on Twitter: http://twitter.com/#!/FulbrightPrgrm
How far along is everyone in the application process? I just joined the forum recently... this is my first post.

I might be looking for housing around the same time - I'll send you a DM!
