Accepted to Morocco, ETA at 5:57pm - didn't read the email until midnight - AND it was my birthday!!!!! What a birthday present!!!!!

...And didn't they take someone from Portugal as well? ---argggh, you guys - I'm taking my candidacy exams as we speak as well...(im)patiently awaiting the results of that as well.

ES90 - I don't know if by 2011 they mean the current ETA's - or the number who applied for 2012-2013, but this sheet lists stats. on all of the countries. If you look at the ETA stats, find Morocco, it says that 80 people applied for 10 spots. --Again, it is not clear to me if they are referring to this year or to last year.

...ETA

Thank you so much ES90! I called Jermaine. He is really nice. The emails were sent to me on the 15th as well; I gave him a new email address just to be sure that it was not an issue with the address (rather than spam). Good luck to you!

ES90 - are you Morocco? ...When did you get the save the date?

I never received a 'save the date' email (applied for Morocco). I hope that that does not mean that I was already weeded out! ---How much background checking does IIE do? I hope that this isn't going to take that much longer!

....b/c they are not pleasant experiences, especially if you are not yet sexually active!

haha, yes I believe that you are correct.

Is it outlandish to call/email your country/program adviser to get some sort of timeline as to when we will receive responses?
