@Grad Decision 2016 are you applying for 2 year MA programs? You can apply for the FLAS for your second year of the MA. as far as success rate for other funding or fellowships it would depend on the specific fellowship I'd imagine.

anyone get word on this yet?

hey! i have a Question about the consent form,... anyone know if declining to be interviewed on the consent form is tantamount to declining the award??? i signed under "accepted and agreed to" on the form, but checked the box "no, i would not be willing to be interviewed". lolz

anyone know if you actually need to be in the USA to go ahead with all of the paperwork/processing for a fulbright? im asking if there are any fulbrighters from past years that did everything remotely...including a plane ticket being purchased from a city outside of the US to the fulbright host country?

lol. you are cute

baby fulbright is an ETA, sorry...im a street kid

i also won a baby fulbright to malaysia, doubtful i will take it though. feels good after finalizing last year for indonesia (didnt win).

pro tip: you just accept your other program if there is a time gap and renege (on the other program) if you win the fulbright. pretty straight forward my friend, dont lose sleep and assume the worst so you won't be disappointed.

i would ask the school

that email is totally sufficient. there isn't a human being at NYU saying "drats! akashC isn't enrolling!" these kinds of things happen all the time.

there will be a thunderous, momentous spate of emails in the near future, shaking us all to our cores. for some of us, these emails will bring ecstasy, for others deep, chilling and dark despair.

ITS THE CALM BEFORE THE STORM BOYS & GIRRLS

thanks much! also funny that you called him jake.

Do you really think that the program manager is doing all the administrative work? You think he is on the phone with applicants while typing out acceptance emails? That's utterly absurd.

I really don't think that calling to find out what's going on with your application represents "rudeness, selfishness and/or a sense of entitlement" given the fact that many, such as myself, haven't received any communication other than the initial, vague finalist email. There have been no timelines or notifications here, there's actually been nothing for months and there's been no delineated finish line. Regardless, you can't control what other people do and the fact that you just typed out a manifesto, moralizing on the internet as though you are the only "snowflake" in the world that has a job that requires dealing with managing people’s expectations/client-side operations, reaffirms my decision to completely disregard your text field. Thanks for providing me with a distraction though.

it's part of the program managers job to deal with applicants. this process has not been very transparent, in my experience, and i don't think that calling the program manager, after waiting patiently for ~ 6 months, is unreasonable at all.

thank you

i called him a few times recently- i was not successful in getting him on the phone because he was unavailable. if any indonesia eta's get him let me know.

has anyone managed to get jonathan akeley on the phone?

this is great news, you're a real detective my friend!

also confirmed with my adviser that notifications will be via email

what i don't understand is why t pain is still on these forums with the rest of us nerds when he is a winner, while we are just scrubs in limbo scanning these forums to try and alleviate anxiety (which is a wildly unsuccesful strategy in my humble opinion).

any indonesia ETA fulbrighter's know how we will be notified this year? email or not?

quick question for Fellows: have you applied after your first year in graduate school OR along with your application to graduate school. in other words, are you applying so that you will delay your graduate education or applying so that you will break up your graduate degree?
