lkahmil Posted January 19, 2012 Posted January 19, 2012 i just saw a school congratulating 29 of their students on twitter!! I *love* Cara Doble! She actually called me back! And she gave me the same info as Jermaine, the emails will go out tonight. So today is officially D-day then!!?? ETA: Twitter is evil. Dang, 29 finalists from one school?! I'm at at-large applicant and am really scared now. Where?? I didn't see it on Twitter???
lkjl2007 Posted January 19, 2012 Posted January 19, 2012 Where?? I didn't see it on Twitter??? I didn't see that either! And I have to admit I've been obsessively following the #fulbright tag on twitter.
T Pain Posted January 19, 2012 Posted January 19, 2012 I *love* Cara Doble! She actually called me back! And she gave me the same info as Jermaine, the emails will go out tonight. ETA: Twitter is evil. Dang, 29 finalists from one school?! I'm at at-large applicant and am really scared now. Did Cara say that the emails for everybody would go out, or just German ETA applicants?....
drapedinvelvet Posted January 19, 2012 Posted January 19, 2012 Where?? I didn't see it on Twitter??? I just logged into Twitter and then searched "Fulbright" and saw it
oa0176 Posted January 19, 2012 Posted January 19, 2012 yea, search twitter for 'fulbright' (w/out the hashtag) its from Grinnell
dasani297 Posted January 19, 2012 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...???
lkahmil Posted January 19, 2012 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)
drapedinvelvet Posted January 19, 2012 Posted January 19, 2012 What does it mean exactly to make it to the first cut? How many applications are actually chosen for review?
lkahmil Posted January 19, 2012 Posted January 19, 2012 I found it through a search (Fulbright 29) According to Twitter the 29 Finalist come from Grinnell College!!! Congrats to them!! RusPNI 1
oa0176 Posted January 19, 2012 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
drapedinvelvet Posted January 19, 2012 Posted January 19, 2012 (edited) Wow those are good odds. Thanks for letting me know! Edited January 19, 2012 by drapedinvelvet
lkahmil Posted January 19, 2012 Posted January 19, 2012 Just had a horrible thought... Wouldn't it be the worst: In the excitement of receiving your letter you accidentally delete it!?!?
Molly Rowland Posted January 19, 2012 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! So excited Funny though, I thought a weight would've been lifted. Now I'm already thinking about having wait until March!!! Good luck to everyone! PS-I wonder if we'll actually get the official e-mails today?

MarcelloMarcelli Posted January 19, 2012 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...
wilghal Posted January 19, 2012 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!
feibeinei Posted January 19, 2012 Posted January 19, 2012 I'm at work and this has been the most stressful day I've ever had here haha. I'm going to go reorganize something...
fosgfp Posted January 19, 2012 Posted January 19, 2012 Does anyone know if the fpa's were emailed or they looked it up? Still silence from my fpa who told me she would email me as soon as she got news
dancinginblue Posted January 19, 2012 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. Kevin Patrick Cullen 1
