lg702 Posted April 10, 2012 Posted April 10, 2012 ALSimon, that's awesome!! I've had so many Fulbright dreams. Also, I've gotten two campus emails this week about "FULBRIGHT INFO SESSION!" It's like they're TRYING to kill me.
mseewal0 Posted April 10, 2012 Posted April 10, 2012 For those who have been accepted to Germany please search for the Fulbright group on Facebook!

Anamaria02 Posted April 11, 2012 Posted April 11, 2012 that's awesome! glad i could help. are you applying for the full grant or eta? ...ETA
es90 Posted April 11, 2012 Posted April 11, 2012 ...ETA me too! i wonder how many people applied since there are only ten spots available. i don't think many people applied for the eta in previous years.
harees Posted April 11, 2012 Posted April 11, 2012 First time poster/long time lurker, I recently received an email which said they need two of my passport pictures and a copy of the photo page of my passport in order to get a visa started. However, the email also stated that this request does make it definite that I have received the grant. I sent in everything they requested but have yet to hear a final decision. Anyone else get a similar request?
darkr34per Posted April 11, 2012 Posted April 11, 2012 For those of you who have received a Fulbright to Taiwan (ETA or Research), come join us on our Facebook group! If you search for "Fulbright Taiwan, 2012-2013", you *should* be able to find us. Please let me know if anybody has trouble finding it!

Anyone else get a similar request? are you full/eta? what country? I haven't seen anything like that in my email but it sounds like a good sign.
sam88 Posted April 11, 2012 Posted April 11, 2012 Does anyone know anything about Sub-Saharan Africa? I saw from a few previous posts that some people had been in contact with Jermaine. Does anyone know when we will hear, or if we will hear by email, mail to current address, mail to permanent address, etc. Best of luck everyone!
dcminot Posted April 11, 2012 Posted April 11, 2012 Anyone have any update about Spain - ETA or full? Still crossing my fingers and hoping we hear back by the end of this week!
lg702 Posted April 11, 2012 Posted April 11, 2012 I think we should all make a pact that if anyone hears anything (via twitter, friends, etc), we have to post it here! es90, boxoatoc and Kexin Renlei 3
Biz Posted April 11, 2012 Posted April 11, 2012 (edited) Speaking of numbers, has anyone been keeping track of how many countries have notified thus far? I have a feeling we're over the hump now! Hang tight, everybody! We've just barely made it over the hump according to the spreadsheet... out of the 81 countries that are represented on the sheet, it looks like applicants to 41.5 (0.5 being Turkey full grants) countries have gotten responses so far. Now we've just got... 39.5 left! And just so you didn't think you were alone in your mind-numbing wait, here's the list of countries that are left: Armenia, Bangladesh, Bosnia, Cambodia, Canada, China, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Egypt, Estonia, Ghana, Hong Kong, Israel, Jamaica, Kazakhstan, Kenya, Kyrgyz Republic, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Macedonia, Malta, Mauritius, Montenegro, Morocco, New Zealand, Nicaragua, Russia, Rwanda, Serbia, Sierra Leone, Singapore, Slovenia, South Africa, Spain, Switzerland, Tanzania, Turkey (ETA), Ukraine, Venezuela. We're almost there! A lot of people were told mid-April and that's only 4 days away!!! Edited April 11, 2012 by Biz kgba, boxoatoc, es90 and 3 others 6
UkraineETA Posted April 11, 2012 Posted April 11, 2012 Anyone hear about Ukraine yet? I applied for the ETA and am feeling rather twitchy. I applied as an ETA in the Ukraine and still haven't heard. Have you gotten any news recently?
ncgirl12 Posted April 11, 2012 Posted April 11, 2012 (edited) What should I do? My deadline to accept the offer to my grad school is the 15th (which is Sunday, so really - do they mean Friday? Or Monday?) I STILL haven't heard re Fulbright (Spain, Full). I'm going to wait one more day but by tomorrow, I feel like really need to contact my school. It's the only offer I received; it's full funding, with a TA Stipend, and I'm very much interested in working with the professors there. So what happens? Do I accept the offer and then if I get the Fulbright, ask for a deferral? Should I be upfront and honest with them that I'm waiting to hear back and if I hear, I'll definitely accept? Or do I just accept and then hope like crazy they will defer/be understanding? ARRRGGHH!!!! Edited April 11, 2012 by ncgirl12

Some schools offer deferals and some very strictly do not. This also opens up a dialogue with the school where they may be willing to extend the acceptance due date give the circumstances.

lizclaire28 Posted April 11, 2012 Posted April 11, 2012 Anyone hear back from the USTA in Austria? This waiting is painful.
lm05anti Posted April 11, 2012 Posted April 11, 2012 Those applying ETA/Grant to Ukraine and Russia... think Belarus might be notified at the same time? Eastern Europe all tends to be lopped together... I am waiting to hear about an ETA Belarus, and I am unsure my heart can take it! Anyone else recommended for Belarus ?? Thanks!
lizclaire28 Posted April 11, 2012 Posted April 11, 2012 USTA Austria: Alternate... Still good news right? When did you receive it??

Molly Rowland Posted April 11, 2012 Posted April 11, 2012 I just got that as well. I'm an alternate. Not sure if I'll withdraw my status or not. Not sure how likely it is that I'll end up getting placed somewhere.
caramel08girl Posted April 11, 2012 Posted April 11, 2012 You forgot Belarus ETA! You forgot Togo, West Africa

kgba Posted April 11, 2012 Posted April 11, 2012 You forgot Belarus ETA! You forgot Togo, West Africa Hey folks, I think Biz was just going off of what's currently listed in the spreadsheet, which you can access here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AuGpbWEh-3b0dHZzTU1BN0lNLU1yeG5XWktnY2k3bmc#gid=0 If you'd like your information added to the spreadsheet, you can send an e-mail to fulbright.12.13@gmail.com and it will get posted with the rest boxoatoc 1
