No, I didn't receive anything today (NYC - Chicago)

Likewise, nothing in Urbana, Illinois.

[jazzz]

For those of us still waiting for letters to be sent out... just a few words of encouragement. We've already made it halfway through April! That wasn't so bad! Remember when we were freaking out in March? We can do it, just a couple more weeks hopefully!

Despite all this waiting (y'all will hear soon!), please check to make sure the information on the spreadsheet is correct!

No need to sign in. If there is an error (there probably is after that last spreadsheet fiasco), email fulbright2011.2012@gmail.com! So when you get your acceptances we can just plug 'em in! Thanks guys!

NOOOOOOOO! Alternate for India. Dammit, all I wanted was for this waiting to end..... This is ridiculous. Well, like everyone's been saying, time to move on right?

well, as someone whose application was rejected at the government level last year, i feel a little better knowing that a full 40 % of finalists were similarly turned down. There is some kind of a weird comfort in knowing my project wasn't 'singled out'? thanks for sharing that!

Any word on the rest of SE Asia? What is this person's contact may I ask?

For anyone applying to Thailand, I was informed by the East Asia program manager today that notifications went out earlier this week. Shouldn't be long!

The program manager is Jonathon Akeley. You can find his contact info on the Fulbright site.

Besides the Germany ETA group, is there a Facebook group for the full grantees to Germany? Hmm? Just wondering! Thanks!

Hey, my info is correct! The Germany ETA group is dead, like Fred, so perhaps someone should just start a group for 2011-2012 Germany Grantees?

Hey fellow Iceland applicants--- I made a few phone calls today, and it sounds like the letters went out in the mail yesterday! The wait is almost over!

SO glad to hear they were sent out! Thanks!

[erica11]

Anyone get their SSA notification today?

[fryguy]

Nothing today for south africa

[cericherry]

nothing today in my mail box from the Mexico fulbright.... anyone have any luck today?

Buena suerte a todos!!

Received an alternate letter today for New Zealand. Pretty bummed, especially since it means more waiting. If there are 10 spots, up to 20 people could have been finalists. I am wondering how many are alternated versus rejected. Also, on the New Zealand Fulbright website it says that 12 people were chosen for awards in 2010, even though there were only 10 spots listed on the Fulbright website. So hopefully that means 2 alternates were offered spots after more funding came through. I'm hoping that will happen again, but it probably won't due to the recent turn American politics has taken.

.... the people that work at the post office in my school walk the other way when they see me.... that's how much I ask about the magical manila envelope.

Mexico please hurry up

[loloyohe]

On the spreadsheet, I think everything below Uruguay was deleted. AHHH I NEED TO KNOW IF VIETNAM PEOPLE ARE FINDING OUT!!!

[aPPiah]

If you are waiting to hear about Sri Lanka I e-mailed Cara and go this response:

Hi --,

I am hoping to send out notifications this week or early next week for Sri Lanka.

Thanks,

Cara

Okay well at least she has given us some prospective!!

I haven't yet!

When is Taiwan and Vietnam coming out with decision letters? I know a couple of people who are waiting

[Dare]

For the other person on the forum waiting on Estonia, I received my letter today (I'm in Massachusetts). They designated me as an alternate, but I will probably withdraw, as I have to commit to grad school funding by Wednesday. Good luck to everyone else!

There was no news today for South Africa

[nakasa]

There was no news today for South Africa
