est Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 Are there any Norway applicants who have gotten acceptance letters? So far it seems like there are a lot of alternates and a very few accepted & rejected. I know me and the rest of the alternates on this thread would really appreciate a rough count of those accepted. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
studentb2011 Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 I am also in the Midwest. I would only start worrying if we don't get something tomorrow. Tuesday to Monday is not that strange for some mail routes here. I guess it's also possible there was more than on batch, but that would be unusual. Alrighty. I'm crossing my fingers with you on this. If I don't get anything tomorrow, I will call Rachel on Tuesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranita Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 (edited) However, I'm wondering what will become of Egypt's Fulbright portion. They receive so many, and I didn't know if the previous warnings had straight been lifted, or what they had in mind. Thankfully new AUC campus is outside of Cairo now; it was my understanding the old campus was straight downtown near Medan Tahrir. I am thinking if they aren't sending some does that mean other nations will end up with more? Oh my goodness, reading that someone had heard about Bahrain got me so excited... and then my hopes were dashed again when I realized it was just a mistake Glad to see fellow MENA'ers talking again here, makes me feel less alone! Thought I'd chime in on the Egypt issue, I applied for a full grant. The last time I talked to Jermaine he said next year's program was up in the air, but at that time this year's Fulbright was still suspended. But current Fulbrighters were allowed to re-enter the country and resume their grants at the end of March. I also know the Fulbright Egypt commission has moved forward on their selection process, although no one knows when the "government research clearance" might go through. So I think these are all positive signs. Earlier Jermaine had said applicants who are offered a grant to Egypt might be given the option of going to a different country if the unrest continues, but I imagine that only works for ETA grantees ... my research topic is totally site-specific, no way I could go anywhere else to do it I'm sending my monthly email to Jermaine this week, I'll let you all know what he says!

Ahab Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 I'm a current ETA in Taiwan. If anyone has any questions, just ask away! Good luck everyone. You're very close to the end of this agonizing process! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RubiaNubia Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 HI everybody! I just found this forum. Any other ETA Turkey finalists out there? Also does anybody know if we can see how many applications each country received this year? Hi bermet, I am a Turkey ETA finalist but it´ll be a while before we hear anything.

Nebuchadnezzar Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 Thanks for checking! Is this for both ETA and Full grants? I'm not sure. I didn't want to push my luck. The trend seems to be ETAs first, followed by full grants. I'm not sure that this is always the case, though. Best of luck to all Bangladeshers!

Nebuchadnezzar Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 Thanks Nebu. Perhaps that means that the rest of the Central/South Asia notices are going out too. I'm thinking so. Although some India applicants found out a few weeks back. It seems that IIE was just waiting on budget stuff before sending out notifications.

Damis Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 Hi there. For those that have found out (specifically New York folk) who are you all going through in order to get the health forms done? I'm not from New York, so my physician is not here. Have no idea the avenues through which I can get these things done. I know there are health departments around the city, but do they take insurance for the various tests we have to get done? Any help would be AWESOME.

Stu Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 I just received yet another e-mail notifying me that IIE has not received my official transcript - the second transcript I had ordered for them. WTF is going on with the IIE mailroom? I've been told that they already have my decision. At this point, no transcript = no notification. I'm about to go "Incredible Hulk" on someone...

Mail it yourself with some sort of delivery notification (e.g., delivery confirmation, return receipt requested). It costs more, but then you can at least be sure that it showed up and that they have it. :-] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
