Are there any Middle East folks out there that have been in touch with Jermaine Jones? I'm contemplating calling, but don't want to add to the inquiries if people have already been doing so.

Thanks for the optimism, State_school - And congrats on your 7/7!

I haven't received an email, either - feeling pretty bummed. Does anyone know if admission emails come in waves, or is this it?

Any word, amyhuran?

Hi there, Crazy to see someone in such a similar position! I've also been admitted into the CMES program at Harvard, but didn't realize that they would not be amenable to deferring in favor of Fulbright (something I was hoping to do). Who have you spoken to, and what have they said exactly? This worries me tremendously :-( As to your question: I've been in DC for a while now, and the Georgetown Arab Studies produces excellent graduates that are primed for government service. If you have the opportunity to do the Fulbright and come back to Georgetown, you'd also have time to apply for fellowships like the Pickering, funding your M.A. degree and basically promising you a career at State. My two cents!
