Evey18 Posted September 29, 2011 Posted September 29, 2011 So glad I found this forum! I'm a Colombia ETA applicant. Just had my campus interview yesterday. Mine was just the FPA and one professor, nothing too intense. Anyone else out there for Colombia?
pianoise Posted September 29, 2011 Posted September 29, 2011 Hi, I'm an international student applying to US. I'm in knowledge that when I apply for Fulbright, the IIE applies to my preferred schools in my place. I'm wondering if that means my application materials for Fulbright are reused as application materials for schools? I'm kinda confused, because my recommendation letters would be addressed to Fulbright, not the schools that I'm trying to get into.
lien Posted October 1, 2011 Posted October 1, 2011 Hi all, I was wondering if anyone had attended one of the Fulbright webinars yet, and if so, could you tell me what kind of format it's in? I'd like to check out the one on Oct 5th, but unfortunately I have a lecture then and the teacher's stupidly strict about attendance--if the webinar is just like an IM chat, though, I could look at it in class and he'd never know. Please let me know whatever you can! Thanks.
ism7elou Posted October 1, 2011 Posted October 1, 2011 Hey! I'm applying for ETA in Jordan--just submitted for my online deadline! What a relief to be done with that step! Who else is doing ETA in the Near East/North Africa?

DancesWithDogs Posted October 5, 2011 Posted October 5, 2011 Good luck! I was a Fulbright Fellow ETA Taiwan in 2009-2010 CHANGED MY LIFE! feel free to pm me
Jonhecht89 Posted October 6, 2011 Posted October 6, 2011 (edited) I'm bored, so I thought I'd also jump in as someone who received a Fulbright. I got a Full Grant to Finland but declined it for a variety of reasons. Feel free to ask any questions. Edited October 6, 2011 by Jonhecht89 mabaci 1
oa0176 Posted October 7, 2011 Posted October 7, 2011 10 more days... good luck everyone! I am trying not to freak out too much, but the good thing about the deadline is that I will be able to move on, and begin focusing much more on my school work
Biz Posted October 10, 2011 Posted October 10, 2011 ok - has anyone else had the campus interview? It was really odd... me + 4 panelists = several extended intervals of silence... I couldnt seem to connect with them. Now I'm officially insecure about my app. From the comments I'm not certain they read my essays very carefully, but they did make some helpful suggestions based on the conversation. Is that an indication of how the national committee operates? How are post-interview revisions going for you guys? That sounds a bit like my campus interview! Ahhh! My interview made me a little insecure too but after revision I think my proposal was definitely strengthened and I just hope I addressed enough of their concerns. And they definitely had a few. Did anyone have someone who didn't speak their country's language try to test their knowledge of the language? That was fun/awkward. Anyone else applying to the Baltics?
busti06 Posted October 11, 2011 Posted October 11, 2011 Last week before deadline!! Good luck everyone!
Jumat Posted October 11, 2011 Posted October 11, 2011 10 more days... good luck everyone! I am trying not to freak out too much, but the good thing about the deadline is that I will be able to move on, and begin focusing much more on my school work I'm out of school (working full-time) so I'll add that another good thing about the deadline is that my friends will be seeing my face around a lot more! Happy applying, everyone!
waveaflag Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 i am applying to germany, berlin specifically, for a study grant in photography. i haven't seen any other posts here relating to the fine arts at all. anyone out there? to germany in particular? i established affiliation at hgb leipzig and the schwules museum. would love to hear some experience from others. i mailed in my portfolio and finished application today. now i must wait. the worst part. daumen drücken!
lfwd Posted October 13, 2011 Posted October 13, 2011 Well, it looks like I'm a little late to this, but I was a 2010-11 Fulbright ETA in Spain (Valencia region), so if anyone has any questions I'd be more than happy to discuss. Also, I kept a blog through the whole year, if you're interested in perusing. www.lyladuey.wordpress.com
elysiann Posted October 13, 2011 Posted October 13, 2011 I am very pleased to have found this thread. I have recently turned in my application for an ETA to Poland, and not looking forward to the long wait... I would be happy to hear from anyone else who applied to Poland, and share ideas and experiences with any member of this forum. Please feel free to send me a private message. Magdalena- did you decide to apply to Poland, or did you choose another country for your application?
sebastiany Posted October 15, 2011 Posted October 15, 2011 I anyone having difficulty accessing the online application? I was fine with it until yesterday when it started saying "service unavailable". I'm worried it may because many are on at the same time?? I don't know what to do if it stays closed! I was going to submit everything today..
Espanya2013 Posted October 15, 2011 Posted October 15, 2011 ِAnyone else getting an error message when you try to log-in?
lkjl2007 Posted October 15, 2011 Posted October 15, 2011 I'm having the same problem when I try to log on to the website and I'm kind of freaking out--all I have to do is upload my transcript and then I'm ready to submit...so this kink better work itself out.
ctr08a@acu.edu Posted October 15, 2011 Posted October 15, 2011 I was wondering if anyone new a direct link to the online application because I can not get to the server and I'm kinda freaking out because application deadline is Monday and the only thing I didn't do is scan on my transcripts because my out of state ones took forever!
oa0176 Posted October 15, 2011 Posted October 15, 2011 hopefully you all can access it now... it's working for me
lkjl2007 Posted October 17, 2011 Posted October 17, 2011 Application is IN! I think the waiting is going to be the worst part.
lkjl2007 Posted October 17, 2011 Posted October 17, 2011 Are there any Germany ETA applicants (or anyone else) also applying for the Austria USTA?
gteam108 Posted October 17, 2011 Posted October 17, 2011 Application is in! Now on to grad school essays. At least all the writing will keep my mind off things while I wait.
oa0176 Posted October 17, 2011 Posted October 17, 2011 Finally submitted! Now here comes the wait... it's time for me to catch up a ton of reading and work on my senior thesis so I know I'll be busy BUT that won't stop me from counting down the days until the end of January lol good luck everyone!
akpoker21 Posted October 17, 2011 Posted October 17, 2011 Hello all, I am new to the forum. I just submitted my application for an ETA to Belarus. Is anyone else applying for Belarus or Russia or Ukraine? This is my first time applying so any info from those who have previously applied would be great. I understand we find out in January if we were recommended to the country, correct?
