Mynah Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Talking about it with you guys, plus with my advisor has my interests piqued. Maybe I just forgot about the application for a while. Imagine that!! Remember when we thought the Oct-Jan wait was FOREVER? Bahahahaha Nope , Oct-Jan isn't forever at all. Forever is 11 January to end January 2011!!! *sob* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsmiles Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Nope , Oct-Jan isn't forever at all. Forever is 11 January to end January 2011!!! *sob* I totally agree, this process has just recently become very intense! Good luck everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonhecht89 Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 I am applying for the research FB to Finland. I was notified of making it past the first round in late December when they asked for my passport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skyfire Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Congratulations! I didn't know they notified people in December already???? Color me less optimistic now. I think this is an exception, not a rule, so I wouldn't be too worried about it... That being said, I bet you were waaaay surprised and delighted to have gotten your notice so early!

Jonhecht89 Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 (edited) I don't think they were "officially" notifying me. I got a phone call that woke me up that was a wrong number. Then 30 seconds later my phone rang again and my girlfriend told me to ignore it, but I picked it up anyway. It was someone whose name starts with a V from Fulbright (iie?) and they asked if I would send a copy of my passport. I was happy to oblige and asked if this meant that I got the Fulbright (I had no idea about the dates)? She said, "Let's just say that you made it past the first stage" and giggled a bit. When were most people notified? I just assumed this was standard for a research FB. Edit: And yeah--I called everyone who could possibly care including a few of my professors whose cell numbers I had.

Jonhecht89 Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 I thought Jan 31 was for making it past the final stage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rachaelski Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 I thought Jan 31 was for making it past the final stage? On Jan 31, applicants are told if they make it to the final stage, then between March and June finalists are told if they received the grant, if they are an alternate, or if they just didn't get it. The timing in the last step depends on the host country and their process of selecting scholars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crimsonengineer87 Posted January 14, 2011 Author Share Posted January 14, 2011 I thought Jan 31 was for making it past the final stage? For everyone else, Jan 31st is the first stage. The final stage is around March-April. There's a spreadsheet from last year's Fulbrighters who received the first official letters for the final stage from Germany in early March. http://us.fulbrightonline.org/overview_timeline.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonhecht89 Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Well... expletive. I thought I was going to find out the final results on Jan 31. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crimsonengineer87 Posted January 14, 2011 Author Share Posted January 14, 2011 Baaaaaa! You beat me, I was looking up the timeline. hee hee! ARGHHH I HATE WAITING. I'm also waiting on another travel grant I applied for that was supposed to announce results "by December 1st". I thought I didn't get it then their website says by "mid-January". I'm pretty sure mid-January is coming up like in two days. Haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I don't get past round 1, I will apply for some campus scholarship & fellowship stuff (actually I will do it either way). Can I just sleep for the next 2 weeks and wake up when the letters are emailed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonhecht89 Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 (edited) Eh, I just called my girlfriend to complain. Honestly, though, I am glad that I made it past the first stage given that I am coming from a not-prestigious large state school and have a low (3.4) GPA. I have a lot of solo research, though, that I've presented at a number of conferences and (I am told by my interviewers) had stellar letters. Even so, I thought I had no chance given my university and my GPA. Edited January 14, 2011 by Jonhecht89 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melchior Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 (edited) 17 more days until fulbright ... wooooooooooooooooo! i've applied to the uk, so i feel like i probably have no chance ... my fulbright advisor said that uk final results will come out in late march/early april, but other countries might not release results until june ...

crimsonengineer87 Posted January 14, 2011 Author Share Posted January 14, 2011 If you want to think ahead to when you will receive the final notification, here is the spreadsheet that last year's Fulbrighters put together of when they received notifications and their countries, etc. https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=taWW8xiKve1Tm6Ow6bHdhYA#gid=0 (click on the Notification tab at the bottom) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that for ETA's? Heya Crimson, The PAD = Paedgogischer AustauschDienst, so I'm thinking this application is only regarding ETA applicants. Apologies for the confusion! Don't really have much of an idea what this means in regards to my standing. She had some cryptic words in her message, and, in general, I can see this being something every applicant would fill out. The nature of the application, though, along with the deadline of February 28 AND their wanting to have this sent to both New York and Bonn makes me quite giddy. We'll see what happens. Hope to get a better idea from you lovely folks! -D Edited January 14, 2011 by Damis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
