dcminot Posted April 16, 2012 Posted April 16, 2012 Alternate, Spain ETA. Notified by Rachel via e-mail at 5:10pm EST. Anybody know the chances for being promoted from an alternate to principal?
NNN Posted April 16, 2012 Posted April 16, 2012 Congratulations to all accepted and granted alternate status! I'm still waiting to hear back from Hong Kong via Jonathan Akeley. Has anyone spoken to him recently? Would appreciate the news, if anyone has any... thanks!
lg702 Posted April 16, 2012 Posted April 16, 2012 This might be the week for Armenia, Moldova, Belarus, etc. PLEASE let it be, I am not sure how much longer I'll last! I was SO sure it would be last week, so here's to hoping!!! I'm going so crazy! lm05anti 1
Manivela12 Posted April 17, 2012 Posted April 17, 2012 Longtime lurker, first time poster. Spain full, accepted. Thanks to all for the updates throughout the process!
FulbrightNZApplicant Posted April 17, 2012 Posted April 17, 2012 Congratulations to all accepted and granted alternate status! I'm still waiting to hear back from Hong Kong via Jonathan Akeley. Has anyone spoken to him recently? Would appreciate the news, if anyone has any... thanks! I emailed him like 2 weeks ago and never heard back--I assume he's just very busy.
strgrl522 Posted April 17, 2012 Posted April 17, 2012 Spain People, what cities are you going to be in? I'm headed to Barcelona, for the most part with some time Andalucia, Valencia and Madrid... I'll be in Granada, planning to reach out in Cadiz as well during my research. Viva Andalucia! Could someone PM me with the Facebook group?

lewiest1 Posted April 17, 2012 Posted April 17, 2012 (edited) Are there any other Spain ETAs still waiting? Yep, you're not the only one - I'm still waiting, too. Ahh this is the worst! Why do they have to send them out in waves?? Edited April 17, 2012 by lewiest1
katelynnlindsey Posted April 17, 2012 Posted April 17, 2012 Just made a facebook group for all current (and past) Fulbrighters to Russia! https://www.facebook.com/groups/386668761373488/
arm519 Posted April 17, 2012 Posted April 17, 2012 Awarded Spain ETA!! Does anybody have the link to the FB group? To those who weren't selected or are alternates: keep your heads up!
NNN Posted April 17, 2012 Posted April 17, 2012 I emailed him like 2 weeks ago and never heard back--I assume he's just very busy. Thanks for the update. Good luck!
timberwolf11214 Posted April 17, 2012 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

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.
sasha887 Posted April 17, 2012 Posted April 17, 2012 I will create the Spain Facebook page, I just need someone email..... please pm me your email to friend you on facebook.

aronofsky Posted April 17, 2012 Posted April 17, 2012 Can someone send me the information for the facebook group/listserv?

kgba Posted April 17, 2012 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. strgrl522, oa0176, redArcher and 2 others 5

lm05anti Posted April 17, 2012 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!
rtlc06 Posted April 17, 2012 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.
