fryguy Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 Okay, so now all I have to do is find something else to distract me for the next week. I'd say it should be my honors thesis, which is due next Friday, except it's on the SAME TOPIC as my fulbright research would be. There's just no avoiding thinking about this! Teej T - Haha, I would've done the same. Does anyone want to email him on Thursday/Friday to find out what day they were sent out? I hope they send them out on Thursday, I leave for spring break on Saturday afternoon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alifly Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 I got the grant! Full MBA to Spain! So excitedright now!! Skyfire- Did you actually get your letter in Oregon? I am in the midwest and still have not received my letter. I think its odd that it would have made it all of the way to the West Coast before the mid west. Maybe it will come later today!

Special K Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 I tried giving Jonathan a call again this morning. I pressed the secretary a little bit and told her that he hadn't been responding to any communication and she said he was traveling last week. She said my best bet was still just to leave a message or try calling him throughout the day because he might actually be answering his phone for a brief period. I'm getting extremely anxious because I have a job offer and they would seriously appreciate even a vague deadline on when I can tell them about the fulbright... Did anybody ever get in contact with Jonathan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tbarrera Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 Spread sheet is messed up ... again. Seems like stuff in some columns shifted down by 2 rows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trollc3 Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 Thanks. Could have just been Balkan notifications though. Hopefully the Baltics got in there too... Waiting game, I guess. Weird, my friend had told me he hard about his Latvia Fulbright last year in March. I don't think I'll email because they told us from the beginning it could be May when we find out if we got it or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkc Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 Spread sheet is messed up ... again. Seems like stuff in some columns shifted down by 2 rows. Yes, the spread sheet is messed up... but more complicated than shifting down two rows, I can't actually detect the pattern of how it was messed up, but it currently has me as an applicant for India at least five rows down from my rightful Icelandic spot. None of the other Iceland applicants have actually heard, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annguyen89 Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 Vietnam fulbrighters, this is what jonathan told me when I asked him about the decisions....i dont think he knows much: It's not possible to predict exactly when the final results will become available, but in the past notification letters for Vietnam have usually gone out in mid to late April.

nazema Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 Very true. Some one changed the name of the countries like Bangladesh is not in Europe and also just sent out its notifications so someone has been trying to play tricks and be mean about it.

crimsonengineer87 Posted April 12, 2011 Author Share Posted April 12, 2011 Very true. Some one changed the name of the countries like Bangladesh is not in Europe and also just sent out its notifications so someone has been trying to play tricks and be mean about it. It makes me sad. It's really hard to go back to previous spreadsheets. Plus I can only go back like within a day. I'm thinking of something drastic. I'll keep you updated.

Pintxos Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 Just found out that I got the full grant to Spain! Skipped my last class to check the mail and it turned out to be a great move. I'm in Texas for those still waiting for letters to Spain. Looking forward to meeting people in Madrid in a few months! Best of luck to everyone else!!

Loli Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 (edited) Crimson I'm with you. I'm starting to think it not an accident that the spreadsheet keeps getting messed up. Last year's group didn't have such drastic issues with their list. How can someone "accidently" erase the whole name column and re-arrange notification statuses? They've got nothing better to do I guess Edited April 12, 2011 by Loli Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jg33 Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 Is there a way we can make it to where all of the changes have to be approved by the admin(s)? Or would that be too much trouble? I would be willing to offer up some time to look over changes and make sure they aren't bogus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cericherry Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 Anyone heard back from the Binational Business Fulbright to Mexico? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleBird Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 I'm right there with you. I emailed Jon Akeley about Taiwan ETAs but haven't gotten a response either. I'm sure he's really bogged down with emails right now but it would be nice to have some idea of when notifications are going out so that I can stop having palpitations for no reason everytime I check my mail. I'll let you know if he responds. Hey guys, I applied for the ETA position in Taiwan. I am thinking the same thing right now. I have contacted Jonathan Akeley by phone and by email and he has not returned either one of them. I am extraordinarily anxious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
