Just suprised....doesnt seem like much at all.

I must be missing something - your going to live and teach in a foreign country for $1,000 a month? How is that possible? Is housing paid for?

I understand your frustration - I have a anthropology degree for a good school, a esl certificate and experience teaching, studied south asia in class work, sanskrit and hindi, hand good references from teachers and was wait listed, whats even worst was then wont tell me where i am on the list AND they moved me from my original country of application (nepal) to bangladesh and wont tell why they moved me there or based on what criteria...so yeah frustration abounds!

I WOULD take the job - you can always re-apply to fulbright..it will give you good experience and place you into an area you are interested - remember how sad you were that you didnt take the job when you found out you were an alternate..regardless of where you were on the list, I would still take the job. I'm already looking into alternatives as well, its not fulbright but it looks like im going to teach somewhere in Asia, Korea or Japan. It will give me the experience I want - regardless of if its fulbright or not Good luck! Great new for you.

Found out I got the wait list of death today Poor friend had to tell me over the phone...sucks. I agree with everyone who was waitlisted..its just better to be rejected..I applied at last minute so I dont have a back up plan except saying at my same job...good luck to everyone else!

I still havent heard anything heere in Seattle about my eta to bangladesh even though "bengalbound" got their letter on Wednesday (in Boston) - I hate the mail *

Congrads - very happy for you! I hope to hear about my eta to Bangladesh soon.... :/

Thank you!!! Im suprised i havent got anything yet - Should be any day now.

Hi Mkurt..now that you have your info about Albania - could you please call Charles and ask him if Bangladesh and India will be sent out today? Or if not when....thanks! Charles Tel: (212) 984-5519 Thanks

An earlier post said that they only mail on Wednesday..so this would make sense.

I tried emailing Charles two days ago about updates/how we would find out..and no reply..so no updates from me No news is good news?

I'm very sorry to hear that...seems Nepal is out - has anyone heard from another south asian countrY?

OMG! South Asian news - im dying!!

I hear ya..i live in Seattle

-- The end of next week - as in a week and a half from today? SERIOUSLY! This is crazy.........
