I have no idea when we will hear about the Fulbright. ("The suspense is terrible. I hope it will last" - Oscar Wilde) I'm assuming before April 15... Regardless, even if I win the Fulbright, I think I will be declining. After consulting with the Fulbright advisor at my home institution, she and I both think it will be in my best interest to begin my PhD coursework and then perhaps reapply for a Fulbright when I begin dissertation research.
