timberwolf11214 Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Hey folks - I just found this forum, so I hope I got this in the right place... Has anyone applying for a Greece ETA heard back yet? I found the spreadsheet for this year that says that people who applied for a full grant heard back already, and I'm kinda going nuts between thinking I dumped my notification with my spam or something... - T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could reach out to Rachel Holskin and ask her when you should expect to hear. That way if you should have already heard she can tell you. But not all countries release ETA and full grant notifications at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kgba Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Congratulations to all of those accepted, and congratulations to all of those still waiting - if I remember correctly, today marks the six month anniversary of the 2012-2013 application submission deadline! That's right folks, our relationship with the FSB has lasted longer than most high school romances. oa0176, redArcher, Biz and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lm05anti Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 I keep telling myself... I have waited this long, I can wait another few days... And then I laugh because I don't think I can wait! Haha (and it's becoming rather maniacal!) Congrats to all the Spain ETAs! Yay! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtlc06 Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Seriously, this is how my last hour has gone!! check email (no notification). refresh email just in case the notification came within the last 3 seconds (still no email). resign self to the fact that I should probably start working. resume working on IRB amendment. realize that 4 minutes have just past. think "maybe my notification came!" check email. still no notification. hit refresh. hit refresh again. still nothing. promise myself that I won't check my email for at least an hour. begin working on my prospectus. decide that 10 minutes of prospectus work is more than respectable. check this forum for 10 minutes to see who received notifications. feel anxious. begin rationalizing that 20 minutes is roughly 30% of an hour which is almost half an hour, and if I round up - that's a whole hour! check email (nothing). hit refresh (still nothing). *refresh* *refresh* *refresh* *refresh.* Start feeling angry with IIE, Fulbright, the FSB, and the Western Hemisphere as a whole. decide that this is irrational. check email. nothing. *refresh* *refresh* *refresh* *refresh.* decide that my anger is, indeed, actually rational. *refresh* *refresh* *refresh.* feel dejected.
