Jonhecht89 Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 How can they be sending emails out after business hours??? I am completely freaking out. CONGRATS to those who have already heard good news!! What countries are you finalists for? ETA/Research? I'm Finland for research. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albanski Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Im not bummed out as I thought I would be. I am actually relieved that I got rejected now. Being rejected in April sucks. At least now, I can plan appropriately. Like my momma says "Hey, at least you tried!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan B Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Mynah--I would be going to Jo'burg and Durban, and likely making some research trips to Pretoria as well. It would be a history grant--I'm trying to write a biography of a South African journalist/apartheid resister. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonhecht89 Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Helsinki. The person I wanted to work with at Helsinki is retired and I had a connection to a top person who happened to be at Tampere, so there I am. Why Helsinki? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan B: If you send me an e-mail address I could possibly put you in contact with some of the senior players in the anti-apartheid movement (especially in the ANC) Can't promise you Mandela but I do have a friend who works for him.

Albanski Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Rachaelski: NOOOOO ! As I said to Albanski give it another shot next year! I think this is was my last year. The next time I will apply is when I am in a doctoral program... Its sad, but I am really relieved. I hated those months waiting for the final word. Now I can move on and properly prepare for the future. I wish you all luck! If you have any questions, feel free to PM me! Later! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ranita Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 It's official; the IIE advisor gave me a hint earlier this week but I got my email today too. FINALIST FOR EGYPT WUHU!!! I can't stand these stories of being shortlisted and then waiting for 6 months to get rejected. So now a new application to obsess and anguish over for six months...but nonetheless..so excited and grateful! congrats to everyone else and I'm very sorry for those who didn't make it this time!
