[Fulbright 2012-2013]

The Fulbright wait, along with term projects piling up and qualifying papers looming is starting to take its toll on my health = /

[Fulbright 2012-2013]

I'm an ETA finalist for Rwanda and just got the "save the date" email as well. FWIW, I followed up a bit with Jermaine and got the following reply:

Pretty much all the Sub-Saharan African countries have submitted their selections, so my sense is that you and the other recommended candidates for that world region may be notified about your final standing by the end of this month—which is actually on track for when previous years’ recommended candidates for this region were also notified.

I hope this helps.

By the end of this MONTH? At least we known we won't be in the dark still into May (unless, God forbid, we're designated alternates). I was really hoping for sooner than three weeks from now. Maybe he's just estimating high...

By the way, when did you receive that correspondence?

Hi Everyone, I finally broke down and created an account since I too feel we'll find out our final status this week. I'm a recommended candidate for a full grant to Tanzania. I haven't seen very many post about SSA but hopefully more people will post once they learn their final status.

I'm a finalist for a full grant to Kenya! Really hoping this is the week...one way or the other, I just want the wait to be over.

Any brave sub-Saharan Africa finalists willing to pester Jermaine for another update? This waiting is killing me!

Hi all. Just to touch base for other folks waiting to hear from sub Saharan Africa regional countries--- I touched base with Jermaine last Friday and he said that they hadn't yet alerted Fulbright to their choices! He didn't sound terribly optimistic but figured that if the process were similar to the past couple of years, notifications would be made by mid-late April....

fingers crossed!~

Anybody know, then, how long it takes Fulbright to send out notifications once they're given the region's choices? According to the spreadsheet, SSA has pretty regularly gone out during the second week of April, so I've been thinking next week??
