fosgfp Posted January 19, 2012 Share 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 Share 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcelloMarcelli Posted January 19, 2012 Share 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!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcelloMarcelli Posted January 19, 2012 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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!!

T Pain Posted January 19, 2012 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molly Rowland Posted January 19, 2012 Share 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
