readtowin Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 ReadtoWin I completely identify with your level of excitement and passion for the fulbright fellowship. Actually I just finished reading the 2010-2011 fulbright orientation handbook haha. Obsessed much? But try to focus on other things to take your mind off of the angst. To be honest, coming on this forum might not be that helpful. The amount of stress and anxiety from our fellow finalists can only make matters worst. I know this website certainly stresses me the hell out. even still I can't stop myself. sigh Thanks. I didn't know there was a manual available. Is it online?
Genove66 Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 Indonesia. Were you the person who was having trouble getting in touch with the program manager? I can't remember if it was you or not who posted a few pages ago that they tried to contact him and could not get a response. If so, did he reply? No, that was me. And he never did reply. I am sure he is probably really busy right now, but still.
Norway2011 Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 Yes. It is not loading completely and someone keeps changing the information around. Not to mention, they are writing inappropirate comments . Just got my letter in the mail, I am an alternate for Norway. Other Norway applicants should probably find out soon. Could have been worse, but still, MORE WAITING... thanks. Just going to start planning my life as if I did not get it, I guess. Good luck to everyone else.

KarlJohan Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 Just got my letter in the mail, I am an alternate for Norway. Other Norway applicants should probably find out soon. Could have been worse, but still, MORE WAITING... thanks. Just going to start planning my life as if I did not get it, I guess. Good luck to everyone else. Congrats on getting an alternate position. I'm sorry that you still have to wait, though. Did you get an email in addition to the letter? By the way, I also really love Karl Johans gate in Oslo. Hopefully we'll both get to spend some time there next year!
Elizabeth89 Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 (edited) Looks like someone just found out about ETA for Germany according to the spreadsheet? Sorry for creeping--I'm waiting on the same thing. Also, congrats to the person who got it! As far as I know, Germany ETA's are still hanging in the dark. No information what so ever. Hoping to get a letter this week. I did email Cara on Friday, regarding something else, but hoping she will give a hint as to when we will here. I can't believe it is so much later than last years notification. I was really hoping we would hear by March, but hopefully soon! Let me know if you hear anything! Edited April 4, 2011 by Elizabeth89

Also, congrats to the person who got it! AH! YOU'RE RIGHT! Now I'm freaking out again! This had not better be a late Aprils Fool thing!

Though this just means that you're going to have to wait even longer - rough. Since you're a fellow Miamian... what day was your letter postmarked? It looks like the spreadsheet is being strange again and I don't see you now but saw you listed the other day. I'm hoping if yours was sent out Friday, I'll also be getting my letter today. And... nevermind: I see that it was sent out Thursday, so I'll probably be getting mine tomorrow. Time to breath... Edited April 4, 2011 by Caro_Ellen

Did you apply for a full or ETA grant to Norway?
Caro_Ellen Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 Did you apply for a full or ETA grant to Norway? Me? Full grant to Italy - but our letters were sent out Friday afternoon. I believe Norway2011 applied for a full to Norway.
ibleedhuskerred Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 Okay, so it looks like a couple people have heard from Germany about ETA positions today... I'm waiting on a letter, but am in the midwest. What are the chances that more of us will hear today? Has anyone else heard anything yet?
krafte2 Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 Me? Full grant to Italy - but our letters were sent out Friday afternoon. I believe Norway2011 applied for a full to Norway. I see...sorry I thought you were a fellow Norway applicant! Good luck on your application to Italy!

By the way, I also really love Karl Johans gate in Oslo. Hopefully we'll both get to spend some time there next year! Thanks At least it was not a "no"! Nope, just the letter but they said they will call or email if a grant opens up! Have you heard yet?!
Norway2011 Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 Did you apply for a full or ETA grant to Norway? Hi Krafte2, I am a full grant applicant. Are you ETA or full grant applicant??
krafte2 Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 Hi Krafte2, I am a full grant applicant. Are you ETA or full grant applicant?? ETA! I haven't seen any other ETA applicants to Norway on the board...congrats on your alternate status!
Norway2011 Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 ETA! I haven't seen any other ETA applicants to Norway on the board...congrats on your alternate status! Thanks Hopefully I will get off the alternate list, fingers crossed! Good luck to you, I think you should hear very soon! Keep us updated!
eule Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 ANYONE hearing back from Germany ETA today, will you post with where you're located? Freaking out here in Chicago! Have been waiting so long to hear back and just want to know when to anticipate my letter...
readtowin Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 Readtowin: https://us.fulbrightonline.org/documents/handbook_10.pdf Thanks!
readtowin Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 Is everyone else pretty frustrated now too? Mo, listed under Indonesia in the spreadsheet, whoever you are, could you let everyone else know your status if you are reading the board?
jesstasy Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 HOLY CRAP guys, I'm waiting to hear back about the Germany ETA and I'm stuck at work until 4pm just dying inside wondering if this envelope will be in my mailbox when I get home. Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap.
gprov Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 Any news about when we might hear for Korea (Full or ETA)?
fryguy Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 South Africa - I emailed Jermaine Jones today, knowing that last year they found out on 4/11, thinking theoretically they should know something if we were a week out, and he still has no information!!!!
Caro_Ellen Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 HOLY CRAP guys, I'm waiting to hear back about the Germany ETA and I'm stuck at work until 4pm just dying inside wondering if this envelope will be in my mailbox when I get home. Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap. Totally feel your pain. The all-knowing spreadsheet says an Italy person was notified today. My mail doesn't come until about 6:30 on any given day - why can't today be an exception?!?
jacob347 Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 I just spoke with Cara Doble over the phone and she said that all German ETA notifications have in fact been sent out, provided that you are not missing anything (PAD app or transcripts).
westcoasttoast Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 someone from italy heard?! crap im out if town with no computer, dont get home until 11pm ARG!
