Thank you so much! Pantone257 - thank you. And congrats to you!

Thank you. Thanks everyone, I'm bummed but I will be finding a way to get to England so it's not all bad. Congrats to all who have received their acceptance. I'm so sorry for all of those who received rejections.

I just received my rejection email. I was a full grant applicant to the UK.

No email yet. I'm so scared.

Good luck! I am so much calmer now that I called and found out when to start expecting the email.

I believe they will come at 6pm EST Jermaine and Cara both just said notifications for stage 1 would be sent out by end of the day today. I am assuming, from previous year info, that everyone will be notified.

You can see it here

I *love* Cara Doble! She actually called me back! And she gave me the same info as Jermaine, the emails will go out tonight. ETA: Twitter is evil. Dang, 29 finalists from one school?! I'm at at-large applicant and am really scared now.

Aw, thanks! Glad to have news to contribute that might be helpful. I hope everyone on this board hears good news!!!! That may be there plan but it sure hasn't stopped me from calling....and calling, until I found a real live person. LOL.

Okay, I've been a total Gryffindor and have been making these calls....most unlike me LOL. Anyway, I couldn't get a hold of Rachel or Cara, so I decided to branch out. I contacted Jermaine Jones who is the contact for Africa. He said that his information states that notifications will go out at the end of the day on January 19th. He does not know if that means end of business day EST or 11:59pm.

Well, I'm not a German applicant but Rachel is out of the office until the 23rd, so I called Cara Doble. Also got voicemail for her but I left a message with my number, so maybe I'll get a callback?

The only number I have is for Rachel but when I called it last time, someone else did pick up and tell me she was running late that day, so I tried it again today and got voicemail. Sorry.

Yes, I have! They have some scholarships and I am in the midst of applying for them right now. A little help would be tremendous, so I've got all of my fingers and toes crossed that I get something from somewhere. Thank you for mentioning it though! Well, I am now, thanks! LMAO ETA: Safiri, I agree with Molly. We're all so on edge, that your post probably just rubbed some people the wrong way. However, you have to admit, the whole cookie thing was kind of funny! At least we haven't lost our sense of humor!

On the one hand, I intend to go to the UK whether I get the Fulbright or not which makes things a bit easier. But on the other, if I don't get the Fulbright, I will be very stressed out for the next nine months trying to save every penny that I can.

Freaking hell. How the heck am I supposed to contain myself for one more day?! Thank you for the update!
