Did Cara say that the emails for everybody would go out, or just German ETA applicants?.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dasani297 Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Any arts candidates to Germany hear anything yet? We're supposed to have our next round of materials submitted to the Kommission in Berlin by Thursday the 15th..... Did you hear anything yet? I did the audition in December for Voice but didn't hear back about sending more materials so I'm assuming that's a no...??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lkahmil Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 I just logged into Twitter and then searched "Fulbright" and saw it I've been searching the Fulbright tag (#Fulbright) and have seen many people talking about making it to the second round... I searched Fulbright and the law firm just pops up... I hope EVERY program gets announced to today not just the ETA applicants... It's interesting to see how the amount of viewers has increased today on this forum (63 users) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drapedinvelvet Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 What does it mean exactly to make it to the first cut? How many applications are actually chosen for review? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oa0176 Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 What does it mean exactly to make it to the first cut? How many applications are actually chosen for review? they recommend 1.5-2x applicants per grant, and your application is sent to the host country for review Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Molly Rowland Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Well I just got an e-mail back from my advisor. I made it to the final round for the German ETA!

MarcelloMarcelli Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Go Molly! Ooh, I wish they'd just send them out to all of us! Even if it's a no, it would be good to hear it already. I mean, to know it's just sitting there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilghal Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 @boxoatoc I applied for a research and study grant to Tajikistan. I have to say I was feeling ambivalent about the whole thing until this week. Now I'm incredibly nervous. I have a feeling the ambivalence was a self-preservation thing to keep me from worrying about it. Yikes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dancinginblue Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Okay, I'm going to have to agree with msafiri and say that this board is getting a little neurotic. I applied too and I think it is really just...personality differences. Whatever happens, happens. If you don't have a back-up plan yet, you will find one. Everything happens for a reason, and yes, being proactive helps, but if we don't get it, raise money to go to the country yourself...apply directly through a university there. Sure, it'd be nice having the grant but if you really want something, go for it. You'll get it. It's the Law of Attraction. Take a deep breath, everyone, and EAT THE COOKIE.
