Whoops, sorry! I changed it, but it was 6:18am Pacific, so 9:18 Eastern Good luck y'all!

ACCEPTED FOR ARMENIA ETA!!!!!!!!! :D :D Email came at 6:18am Pacific time (yay Oregon!) GOOD LUCK EVERYONE! I am rooting for each and every one of you! Thanks for the AMAZING support the past few months...knowing we were all on this together made a big impact. And definitely PM me if you're in the area and wanna swap contact info!!

I cannot believe nobody heard anything today :( :( (Edit: OK, real talk...I cannot believe *I* didn't hear anything today. Hahahaha.)

Have any Eastern Europe/Balkans/Caucasus people emailed Rachel??

I was SO sure it would be last week, so here's to hoping!!! I'm going so crazy!

My friend got her JET acceptance on Tuesday!

Me too! This has been such a nerve-wracking day Though I guess it'll be nice to have the weekend to relax.

Ugh, how have we not heard anything?!?!?!

Balkans/Eastern Europe/Eurasia people--today is our day! I know it!!!

Stay positive! It ain't over til it's over!!

I'm really sorry to hear you didn't get the immediate acceptance, but I HAVE to believe you're high up on the alternate list. The Austria program is SO competitive and I think it's so awesome and amazing that you made it this far. Seriously!

Haha, Biz, you're the best! I really hope so; I was so surprised Rachel said "mid or late April" because in the past, Armenia has found out the first and second week of April. Hopefully it'll be soon! I just want to knowwwww!

I think we should all make a pact that if anyone hears anything (via twitter, friends, etc), we have to post it here!

ALSimon, that's awesome!! I've had so many Fulbright dreams. Also, I've gotten two campus emails this week about "FULBRIGHT INFO SESSION!" It's like they're TRYING to kill me.

Hahaha. Remember when T-pain got notification about Belgium in late February and we were all like "OHMYGOD IT'S HAPPENING!!!"?? Those were the days...

This is the week, y'all! I feel it!

Thanks so much--I'm SO excited for you! My sister traveled around Azerbaijan for awhile and really, really loved it. We've gotta exchange contact info if I get accepted Good luck everyone!

Ohhhhh my god. That has to mean Armenia is close to making a decision, right?!?! Did you just hear? When were you expecting to find out? (Congrats!!!!!) (I realize there's probably no chance the Caucasus all send out stuff at the same time...but they're neighbors...come on Hayastan!!!)

Somewhere on the internet, there is an Awkward Penguin meme perfectly suited for what is happening right now

That's so funny--I was also thinking Friday the 13th! I'm giving a talk that day to my department, and for some reason, I keep having this vision of giving my phone to my friend, and having him check every email I get, and giving me some crazy signal if I got it. I'm going craazzyyyy!!!

So, people who have been told "mid-late April"....any thoughts? I have a strong feeling I'll hear back by the end of next week, but I guess that's wishful thinking :/ Congrats on Romania, Eric, and to everyone else! Looks like it was a slow day; hopefully we'll hear more Thursday/Friday.

Yes, sorry, we should've clarified--the orientation is definitely for ETAs: "This workshop will provide outgoing ETAs with basic classroom survival skills and provide valuable materials and information to make your ETA experience a successful one."

No, it can't possibly be indicative of anything!! Don't worry

Haha, right?! I saw "Fulbright" and "Rachel" and was like, "DEAR GOD, WHY IS SHE EMAILING ME DIRECTLY?"

I did too. I don't think it means anything, though (sadly).
