Oh, Zeytin! Congratulations!!

FULBRIGHT FULL GRANT TO TURKEY!!!!!!!!!!! Huge congratulations, "oink" and Amanda -- see you there! Fingers crossed for Zeytin, and everyone else on the board. So happy!

@wmg12--That would be great. Did you apply for a Full or ETA? Also, I would be really curious to learn where you read that Turkey is expanding its Fulbright program! You seem admirably well-informed. I'm not expecting that Turkey will be able to notify us for a good while yet, but I hope that perhaps some other countries deliver good news this week!

Thank you, fgreen27! I was wondering, did full granters come to the ETA orientation in Ankara? I know many ETAs found out really late last year (May? Or was it June?) -- I hope it was well worth the wait. Congratulations!

Thank you and yay back to those who received good news! A good few for Turkiye, I see! Cabooklover, I am so sorry. Your passion and commitment really shines through -- even on gradcafe! -- and I am certain that you will find a way to achieve your dreams in England. I wish you the very best of luck!

FINALIST FOR A RESEARCH GRANT TO TURKEY!!!!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! I am in total shock. This is my third try, and the first time I've made finalist. Oh my god.

They misspelled "application"?? How did they manage THAT one?

Awesome way to put it jmv. Mrrowwwl!

I'm so sorry. Best of luck with all your other endeavors!! May I ask if the email was direct from FB, or your advisor?

Cool. I hope you get to go!

Let's hope indeed! Where are you applying this time around?

It looks like last year everyone heard basically at once, right? At least maybe the Californians have had 3 fewer hours of counting down today

Okay, sorry to keep posting so often, but did Ms. Doble or anyone else actually specifically SAY we'd hear at 6? Or just "tonight"? :|

jmv34, let's hope they come up with an earlier and better answer this time Are you applying for the same country this year?

@wustl Lots of us (including me, actually) are at large, fwiw. I guess we should all try to hang in there -- only an hour more, tops. Right? RIGHT?? (What, me worry?) If you're at large, she may not actually even be able to see it, right, because you're not on the school's list? Not sure how it works.

@wustl - Did you ask her if she's logged into the system? Maybe she doesn't realize it's available online because she hasn't gotten an email yet either...? Just a thought.

Oh, come ON!! Please tell me I'm not the only guy getting wildly impatient here...

Last year they came out for most people around 6:30, right? Ugh, I hope we don't have to wait that long!

@Theod--May it be the closest any of us ever gets That said, I feel...sorta...seasick.

@fosgfp Good luck! I hope you rock that interview. Easy for me to say, I know, but it'll probably help if you try to just focus on what's in front of you right this second, and nothing else. We'll cover the Fulbright freak-outs for you while you're busy, fear not.

I think it's being down to the wire. I know I'm tense far out of proportion simply from suspense. We'll all be fine either way. But the waiting (when you know there's less than a couple of hours to go) sets my teeth on edge, at least. Not Fulbright's fault. But true for some of us.

My understanding is that it's everyone who finds out today, not just ETAs.

Only about 2 hours to go now, right? Has anybody heard anything else/more? I'm glad we've already had some successes in this group. Anyone else waiting for Turkey? Good luck, y'all Mark

6pm? Okay. 3 hours. We can do this.

Go Molly! Ooh, I wish they'd just send them out to all of us! Even if it's a no, it would be good to hear it already. I mean, to know it's just sitting there...
