After 11 applications to graduate school, I'm just hoping I don't get rejected from the Fulbright and my top choice on the same day. That'd just be mean. Or maybe I'll find out I got both on the same day. I'd enjoy that
I guess I can keep dreaming since they are taking a bit of time. I am in the same boat!! I applied to so many grad schools...I'm afraid I'll hear about that and Fulbright on the same day.
JK BECAUSE WE ARE NEVER GOING TO HEAR ABOUT FULBRIGHT.

This isn't really a fellowship, but last summer I spent three months in Uganda as a journalism fellow for a non profit and I've been offered the role of fellowship director this summer for the new program in Peru! Only problem is in an americorps member and those two months would be during my service so I don't know what to do..

My ever-so-helpful advisor -____- says:
One Fulbrightee said she had had an email that said the 31st of January. I have heard nothing, nothing, nothing, my dear, nothing.

Blergh, I know this is pessimistic of me but I am really doubting I'll even get into the finals at this point
I proposed to reinvigorate forgotten Weimar-era composers who had to emigrate to the US (or elsewhere) due to the Nazi regime, via performance as well as by compiling their arias into an anthology for distribution to conservatories and universities. If I don't get it, I think I just gotta blame competition, because I had a great proposal, great affiliation letter, and a pretty decent interview/audition. Don't worry, at this point everyone is doubting themselves and their chances. This extra long waiting game...it is torture for the mind and nerves.

By the way, I probably won't forget your comment from last year for at least 40 years (I believe it was around this time last year but can't remember if it was later in the process):
'JESUS TAKE THE WHEEL'
I pretty much died lol
Oh GOD, I forgot about that!! BAHAHA. And here we are again, year two, doing it all over again...
-
I just e-mailed my adviser. I will let you know what I hear! ;-)
YOU ARE AMAZING

Does anyone have a really good relationship with/very loose lipped FPA...?
-
I caved, I guess you're right olioliwoo. Good luck everyone. Especially the person(s) applying to Armenia, I'm living here now as a Peace Corps Volunteer and it's a pretty cool country. Applying for an ETA to Taiwan. Hoping to find out soon, and if it's good news, wait and worry another four months
How has your Peace Corps experience been! I applied to do a Masters International at UNLV if this doesn't pan out.
-
So what's the consensus? Do we think we are hearing tomorrow??
-
Ugh, it really makes me mad that they didn't follow the pattern they've used EVERY OTHER YEAR and are making us wait for literally no reason because the decision has FOR SURE been made. It's such a rude thing to do.
-
4:46 ET?? It's so confusing reading the threads and figuring out what time zones posts were sent from.
ET time, yes! I believe the offices are in the Eastern time zone.
-
MOTHER OF GOD. Last year: 4:46. 3 hours as 50 minutes to go, right...

I know that email notifications start going out usually around 5, but does anyone know what the latest time is that you're likely to get an email? It it normally 5-8?
We got it last year at 4:46 pm Eastern (I'm not that crazy, I just looked in my saved messages!)
-
I think the worst part is just knowing that the decision has probably already been made. I'm still betting on January 17 for notification since last year we heard on that same Friday, the 18, and the year before that they also heard on that third Friday.
Fingers crossed!
-
What's the notification date for research/study in Germany? I mean the date we know whether our apps will be sent to Germany for consideration. I read late January.
Last year we all found out on January 18, a Friday, so I'm betting January 17 this year.
-
At first I was being really calm and zen about the waiting process, second year in a row for me.
NOW I JUST WANT TO KNOW RIGHT NOW AND CANNOT BE ZEN. WHAT IS ZEN.

What is your all's opinion on grad school deferment if offered a Fulbright? I've applied to about 11 grad schools as a back up plan, and i can't find their policies on deferment. Have you found that the vast majority will make a deferment exception for a Fulbright? It seems like something they'd like to have to add to their repertoire--a Fulbright scholar! I'm applying for MFA creative writing programs as my back up, but I really love some of the schools.
-
Amirah, you're awesome
I added my info.Yay!! Another Full Research applicant to Canada!! What are you looking to do??
-
Has anyone else seen on the Fulbright website that it gives the exact date of notification: January 31??? I know last year we were told on Jan. 18, and that the exact date has never been given before. Do you think it's notification BY January 31 or that is THE day??

Hey y'all!
My name is Kelsey and I graduated from college in May with a BA in English. I applied for a Full Grant last year to Denmark and was cut on the first round which really killed me. I learned from my mistakes though and am (hopefully) a much stronger applicant.
I applied for a Full Grant to Canada to study medical sociology at McGill University. While doing that, I will also be shadowing a neurosurgeon who focuses on heredity and it's link to brain aneurysms. My study will be focused on aneurysms and heredity and my plan is to begin my own non profit linking survivors from both countries upon my return to the US.
My fingers are crossed for everyone here!! This is our year.
