TPliske8711 Posted January 19, 2012 Posted January 19, 2012 I feel the same way, fos. The worst thing is that I am at work now and have to do work while having this massive weight on my heart.
fosgfp Posted January 19, 2012 Posted January 19, 2012 I feel the same way, fos. The worst thing is that I am at work now and have to do work while having this massive weight on my heart. I just arrived in the hotel for my first grad school interview (Harvard). Don't know how I will be able to do anything until I find out and if I don't get it...
lkahmil Posted January 19, 2012 Posted January 19, 2012 I know a lot of people will say I'm over reacting, but this is how I am: I feel like I am going to throw up from nerves. It's ok! There are many of us who feel the same way. What are you doing to help keep you mind from thinking about this? I'm watching a movie... and talking to people on here and Twitter... Did you ask your adviser?
MarcelloMarcelli Posted January 19, 2012 Posted January 19, 2012 I think it's being down to the wire. I know I'm tense far out of proportion simply from suspense. We'll all be fine either way. But the waiting (when you know there's less than a couple of hours to go) sets my teeth on edge, at least. Not Fulbright's fault. But true for some of us.

Focus on getting Harvard... You may get both!! Or at least one out of the GREAT two!!!

Yeah, I asked my adviser yesterday and she said she would notify me if she heard anything... and she hasn't notified me yet. Aghhh.
MarcelloMarcelli Posted January 19, 2012 Posted January 19, 2012 @fosgfp Good luck! I hope you rock that interview. Easy for me to say, I know, but it'll probably help if you try to just focus on what's in front of you right this second, and nothing else. We'll cover the Fulbright freak-outs for you while you're busy, fear not.

OliviaKate84 Posted January 19, 2012 Posted January 19, 2012 Did anyone find out about making it to the next round for Italy? I really can't take this anymore. I feeling like throwing up my organs. Kevin Patrick Cullen 1

Trust me none of us are going anywhere until most of us find out... and before we offer support for people that need it!! Haha thanks. I'm wayyyy more nervous for Fulbright Good Luck on the Harvard Interview! I somehow think you won't need the luck judging by the schools you are interviewing with... Mine included!! You will do GREAT!!! Edited January 19, 2012 by lkahmil
TPliske8711 Posted January 19, 2012 Posted January 19, 2012 I think this is the closest I have ever gotten to experiencing torture...
OliviaKate84 Posted January 19, 2012 Posted January 19, 2012 big congrats to everyone who has made it to the next round!
MarcelloMarcelli Posted January 19, 2012 Posted January 19, 2012 @Theod--May it be the closest any of us ever gets That said, I feel...sorta...seasick.
vordhosbntwin Posted January 19, 2012 Posted January 19, 2012 last year folks got them around 5:20? so within 15 min or so?
oa0176 Posted January 19, 2012 Posted January 19, 2012 i had to disappear for a few hours... how much longer do we have to wait again lol???
lkahmil Posted January 19, 2012 Posted January 19, 2012 I don't know about everyone else... but I have this strange feeling that when some of us... (maybe it's just me) Get their letters that may be afraid to open them... I have this feelings I may just stare at it and not open it fearing the worst... Ugh!! Oh brother... I mean not be make things worst but... at this stage (First Round) We are competing against the world for the country we want to go to... yikes!!
MarcelloMarcelli Posted January 19, 2012 Posted January 19, 2012 Last year they came out for most people around 6:30, right? Ugh, I hope we don't have to wait that long!

Molly Rowland Posted January 19, 2012 Posted January 19, 2012 I think they're purposely trying to make it painful...haha kidding.
LAS Posted January 19, 2012 Posted January 19, 2012 Ugh. My heart skips a beat everytime I get an email. Make it stop!!!
Molly Rowland Posted January 19, 2012 Posted January 19, 2012 why do they send the e-mails out SO late? isn't their staff at home already?
T Pain Posted January 19, 2012 Posted January 19, 2012 I bet it's like a freakin launch-sequence and four different people with four unique pass codes have to enter them physically into different launch stations in four different regions of the country, but at different times throughout the day. THEN the emails go out.
Molly Rowland Posted January 19, 2012 Posted January 19, 2012 are the e-mails specific to the country we applied for? in terms of germany, will it provide us with the next step in the application process?
T Pain Posted January 19, 2012 Posted January 19, 2012 It'll say: "Congratulations! Now you have a 50% chance!" elysiann, Andsowego and redArcher 3
