Congratulations, Michael! I just found out today that I got an ETA for Spain as well, so maybe we'll see each other at orientation in Madrid. I'm not positive, but I'm guessing that once things are more finalized (once we send in the medical information, etc.) they will send us more solidified information on our positions. Anyone else headed for Spain?

I keep getting a lot of people asking me, too... Only a few people from my college applied, and only two of us (that I know of?) made it through the first round. The other girl who I know that made it just heard back with an acceptance for a South Korea ETA, so other mutual friends keep asking if I've heard back yet! I'm hoping we all get the good news we're praying for!!! Good luck, mkurti098, and everyone else! Keep us updated!

Hello everyone! I'm so relieved to find this forum - our own little support group in this awful waiting game! First of all, CONGRATULATIONS to those who have been accepted, that must feel SO great! And to those who didn't receive such great news - there's always next year, and even making it through round one is an accomplishment! I feel like I've been waiting forever too - I'm a finalist for a Spain ETA and I haven't heard back yet, but I go to college in Moorhead, MN (near Fargo) where it's been flooding and my neighborhood was evacuated last week. I double checked my application online and yep, I put my college house address in Moorhead on the application. So, needless to say, when I drive back there tomorrow I'll be racing to check my mailbox! It sounds like those from Spain have mostly already heard? Any other Spain ETAs in particular? And does anyone know - do all accepted Fulbright fellows attend the orientation in Washington D.C. prior to going to the host country? I know Spain requires a mid-September orientation in Madrid, but I wasn't sure if there was something else.
