ray1246 Posted March 23, 2012 Posted March 23, 2012 (edited) Ditto on how the the Germany ETA was notified. I'm also waiting along with the other Germany ETAs! ahhh, this is getting intense! Edited March 23, 2012 by ray1246
kamora1986 Posted March 23, 2012 Posted March 23, 2012 No one has been notified for the Netherlands. They're just finalists waiting to hear like you. Oh I get it now, sorry I was definitely looking at the wrong spreadsheet! Thanks, I will stop staring at my inbox now
TPliske8711 Posted March 23, 2012 Posted March 23, 2012 This is awful, my anxiety level is through the roof. I wish i could find out tonight because I don't know if Ill survive the weekend. llort and ray1246 1 1
wannabeanexpat Posted March 23, 2012 Posted March 23, 2012 I'm wondering if they announce people in a certain order, those who pass, alternates, those who do not move on.. One girl from my uni with the same country choice was notified two weeks ago, and I still haven't heard anything... I just emailed and called Rachel Holskin and am waiting to hear the explanation.. I'm guessing it will be a similar reason for why one German ETA has heard and some others have not.. I have no idea the way they do it - it is truly a mystery at this point
Kimberly Beck Seder Posted March 23, 2012 Posted March 23, 2012 I have kind of a weird question: does anyone know anything about bringing pets along while you are studying on a Fulbright? I'm really hoping to bring my dog to Austria- but I have no idea how that works. Anyone encountered this kind of issue before?
kaguyahime Posted March 23, 2012 Posted March 23, 2012 Ha! Earlier I suggested that one of you numbers experts see if you could estimate the day of the week that we might be notified. I thought I'd just take a look myself, and looked at the Germany TA dates (since there are so many of you here), and found that: In 2007-2008 notification was on Wednesday In 2008-2009 notification was on Friday In 2009-2010 notification was on Thursday In 2010-2011 notification was on Tuesday and In 2011-2012 notification was on Monday. Good thing that my research doesn't depend on any numerical predictions...
llort Posted March 23, 2012 Posted March 23, 2012 Just notified that I got the ETA in Germany ! Wooooooo !!!! I have another friend who got an ETA confirmation for Germany today. Congrats! ray1246, BestCoast, CairoKid and 8 others 1 10
KMJE89 Posted March 23, 2012 Posted March 23, 2012 (edited) Just notified that I got the ETA in Germany ! Wooooooo !!!! My heart is racing now that one Germany ETA found out about 2 hours ago and another person's friend found out...and I haven't heard anything. I think all us Germany ETA finalists are dying now! Congrats zkrcorn! How did you find out? Please tell us more! Edited March 23, 2012 by KMJE89
kbui Posted March 23, 2012 Posted March 23, 2012 Germany seems to be one of the earlier countries. Vietnam, why won't you come to me?!
Busti Bustamante Posted March 23, 2012 Posted March 23, 2012 Congratulations all who've received good news!! Portugal, call me!
ray1246 Posted March 23, 2012 Posted March 23, 2012 Omg, another Germany ETA here that hasn't heard anything. Feeling so nervous now, uggggh. lkjl2007 and llort 2

Good thing that my research doesn't depend on any numerical predictions... I didn't do this b/c we really don't have the data to make any kind of analysis. Also, my bet is that there is no real pattern in terms of day of the week over multiple years.
Biz Posted March 23, 2012 Posted March 23, 2012 Oh. Troll. Ray1246 only pointed out the troll... Sheesh. And the other person stating that their friend had heard was the person who said they were aware a "CANADIAN ETA"... Another troll... We're becoming a magnet for them I guess. Guys, I don't think any German ETAs have been awarded yet. Don't panic. And don't give Ray negative-whatever-those-things-are on the side. lg702, lkjl2007, ray1246 and 4 others 6 1
kgba Posted March 23, 2012 Posted March 23, 2012 Wow, it's so weird to think that something as academic as the Fulbright would attract trolls! But I think it's safe to say that this topic will reach 100 pages of worrying before April 1st without any outside help, haha. Just hang in there, everybody!

bdoll Posted March 24, 2012 Posted March 24, 2012 Honestly guys I'm surprised we haven't all gotten Rick Roll'd yet... so many opportunities with that spreadsheet link x_x Hang in there! I just discovered that the gym is a good way to take my mind off stuff. It's hard to think about anything when you have several lbs of metal hanging over your face. llort, mkt123, Biz and 1 other 3 1
ALSimon Posted March 24, 2012 Posted March 24, 2012 I have kind of a weird question: does anyone know anything about bringing pets along while you are studying on a Fulbright? I'm really hoping to bring my dog to Austria- but I have no idea how that works. Anyone encountered this kind of issue before? I think it would depend on your housing situation, which is probably linked to whether you are on a full grant or ETA. I am a full grant applicant, and my family is all coming- me, my husband, two kids, and two dogs- if (when?) Costa Rica approves me. We will be responsible for securing our own housing there and bearing the cost of flying the dogs.
lkjl2007 Posted March 24, 2012 Posted March 24, 2012 Just notified that I got the ETA in Germany ! Wooooooo !!!! My response to this was "shit" (sorry) shortly followed by happy feelings of congratulations for you...does not getting notified today mean they're sending out rejections later...? I'm guessing... Congrats! I hope I'll be joining you in happy land.
lkjl2007 Posted March 24, 2012 Posted March 24, 2012 Annnnnd I feel like and id for posting before reading all the way through. Darn trolls. For all wondering, THAT is exactly why the spreadsheet isn't editable by everyone. llort and BestCoast 1 1
Garden De-gnomer Posted March 24, 2012 Posted March 24, 2012 I have kind of a weird question: does anyone know anything about bringing pets along while you are studying on a Fulbright? I'm really hoping to bring my dog to Austria- but I have no idea how that works. Anyone encountered this kind of issue before? My wife and I are going to Germany on a faculty research Fulbright, and we are planning to bring our dog (and maybe our cats, too, if we get a bit crazy). Apparently, you can get an EU Pet Passport. We are still looking into it ourselves, but it seems like it's not too hard. Only, it's worth checking out right away, in case some vaccinations have to be completed during a certain time period before your departure.
kate89 Posted March 24, 2012 Posted March 24, 2012 So all this talk of trolls, does that mean the German ETA acceptance was fake?! Sorry, I was just having trouble following what was going on..... I was at work all day/evening and then went to a movie without time to think about getting online, but on the way home I checked the forum and nearly had a heart attack when I read someone heard and I hadn't! I planned to try and enjoy my weekend and stay out of here, but checking the thread is just something I do without thinking now, right after I refresh my email and before I check Facebook. Sad, right? Anyway, then I spent five minutes double checking my email and looking through my spam to make sure it didn't get lost. But, if it's real, congratulations! Let's hope more of us join you on Monday (if it is real and tons of us haven't heard yet it can't be that bad right?! Because statistically at least some of us should win, right!?!) If, as I suspect, the "acceptance" was fake, then I'm slightly annoyed, but honestly mostly relieved! BestCoast, kate89 and Honeybunches 2 1

This makes me super hopeful, because it would be great if I could bring my husband too- so we'll have to see how it all works out. In any case, thank you for your insight.

Someone (I believe Molly Rowland) posted that she heard from Theresa that we are supposed to hear early in the week--so enjoy your weekend!
