ALT to Trinidad. My heart stopped a bit when I saw the ALT designation :/
To save myself the agony of further waiting and hoping, I am going note alternate status in my CV and carry on as if I was rejected. Thanks for everyone's support on this site, it has helped me tremendously. I'm going to take a hiatus for a while.
Thanks for the call ROC14627, did she say soon, hinting at very soon, or is very soon your interpretation? It's interesting how she won't promise a date anymore... hmmm.
Thanks for the call rtlc06! No judgement, I broke down two weeks ago and shot Pamela an email. So basically we are back to square one. It could come as early as now or the notifications can come in a few weeks. I don't understand why she would say we would be notified last week. Perhaps she's going off the normal turnaround time for the FSB? And yes, the vibe I'm getting is the emails come on in the morning, so anything after 3pm EST is a wash for the day.
To all the Caribbean folks,
I just got an email from Pamela at around 1:10 PM PST. This is the week!!! Fingers crossed and good karma passed!
Hi XXXX,
I hope selection notifications will go out this week.
Best, Pam
Urghhh, it looks like you're right. Jeez... This wait is horrendous. Looks like I have to notify graduate schools before I hear back from the Fulbright.
Hello Potential Fulbrighters,
I was recommended for a full grant to Trinidad and Tobago. I've been feeling pressed for time since grad school deadlines are on April 15th so I decided to email Pamela and ask her about a potential timeline. I'll keep everyone posted!!!
