Eternal Icicle Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 T Pain is clearly not a troll. After he posted his acceptance here, I checked in with the Belgium finalist on my campus and she had been notified, too. Biz, T Pain and MDW89 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the support, but you must have failed to realize how good a troll I am! I managed to contact your friend and get the same information out of them even before you did!

judehermes Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 I think part of the reason it came early is that Brussels is at the top of the Eurozone food chain. They knew budget-wise how they could proceed, and did, first. They could thus go ahead with their physical notification to me. You'll all still get physical notification, I imagine, because most, if not all, admitted students have to sign physical letters as contracts and return them to Europe, NY, and DC. It will just be that most people will get emails first, whereas in the past, the inverse has been true (physical letters, then emails; I know this from various friends). I think you're right. They told me they'd contact me by email but I can't imagine not receiving a real letter confirming the email. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkt123 Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 (edited) what i don't understand is why t pain is still on these forums with the rest of us nerds when he is a winner, while we are just scrubs in limbo scanning these forums to try and alleviate anxiety (which is a wildly unsuccesful strategy in my humble opinion).

Busti Bustamante Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 I'm here because I'm a huge nerd and find it fun... to go through the process with everyone else.. the ups and downs writing essays, securing letters of rec., and interview tips... =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pelevinfan Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Same here! I haven't talked to my FPA about Fulbright since the interviews in the Fall....except now the problem is that I'm checking this wayyy too much! haha. I'm trying not to talk or think about it too much but it's difficult not too. I'm just glad I'm not waiting on grad school responses like some of you are. I couldn't imagine waiting on both Fulbright and grad schools together. I'm thinking we'll hear within the next 30 days or so for most of us so keep your spirits up!! Yup, waiting on Fulbright and grad schools has been an absolutely tortuous process. If I had to do it over again, I would likely have chosen to only apply to grad schools, and then apply for a Fulbright a few years down the line. In case someone reads this comment a eight months from now, think long and hard before you decide to do both! It will eat up your life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

judehermes Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 (edited) I can't believe this thread already has attracted trolls. lol. T Pain, congrats again. I was just talking about the 'rape of Belgium' today in my class. My students were horrified, poor little things. I know I shouldn't be, but I'm feeling increasingly hopeless as the days go by and there is no word from UK fulbright.

I believe it was Freud who defined "neurosis" as the continued appearance of a compulsive behavior even once the original stimulus for that behavior has disappeared. So, that's why. jaymee 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as we know, nobody has heard anything from UK Fulbright, so we are all waiting on bated breath.

kbui Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 I just checked the Fulbright website, and they said that the Western Hemisphere and East/Pacific Asia (besides some select countries) scholars will not go to the orientation in D.C. I was looking forward to going there... :\ IF I received the scholarship, of course. Not to count my eggs before they hatch or anything... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isiberius Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 (edited) CONGRATULATIONS to T Pain and now to 1CrazyLady!!!

judehermes Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 (edited) CrazyLady-- I have nothing in my inbox! GAHHHHHH! (congrats!)

bdoll Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 CrazyLady-- I have nothing in my inbox! GAHHHHHH! (congrats!) well, if I remember correctly, CrazyLady applied to a specific 3 month grant at the University of Durham. There is only one. Guessing it has no impact on when full grant and eta grant people get a notification. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
