there'sanappforthat Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 I don't think that the dates/ days are significant; they were not relevant last year. Indonesia released the information a month sooner. The days of the week for notification are all over the board, and there are no apparent trends. Yeah, I didn't really think it had any significance. It could still be months before some of us hear. *sigh* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecoponophobic Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Yeah, I didn't really think it had any significance. It could still be months before some of us hear. *sigh* Aww, don't say that hahaha. Yeah, I'm just relying on the fact that Austria is usually one of the first. The good news is that people are active on this thread again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medizumbacist Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Freaking out...any other Croatia applicants out there? I was ok at waiting until about 3 weeks ago...now it's just unbearable! ah! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was ok at waiting until about 3 weeks ago...now it's just unbearable! ah! I really considered applying to Croatia. I have family there. The number of award recipients is just too low though. I thought I stood a better chance applying to Germany. Especially since I can speak German better than I can Croatian (which is only a few words, really). Germany is still close enough that I can still go and visit them, anyway! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Porshyen Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 I know what you mean.. Same here. It's kind of like, when I'm readin an exciting bit in a book and I keep thinking, "Don't read ahead, don't read ahead," and then I skip to the next paragraph to see what happens. THen I have to go back and reread the last paragraph and..yeah. Okay. that probably doesn't make an ounce of sense! It makes perfect sense. Ha. Actually, when first round notifications rolled out, I skipped the first line of the email entirely in search for the part where I would be rejected and then suddenly I saw "your application has been forwarded..." at which point I realized it was actually good news and jumped for joy.

bastana Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 found this forum as I wait to hear from Fulbright, and i've heard it can be quite a wait for Arab countries! my strategy for these sorts of things is to just not think about it until suddenly i hopefully hear, yet here i am, good to have a place to go to see others in the same boat. i wish everyone the best of luck, i truly hope whether it's Fulbright or anything else everyone finds a great and fulfilling opportunity for next year medizumbacist 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay5 Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Hello all!!! -- I have been trying to find this blog for a few months now! I had been stalking last year's blog in an attempt to discover some sort of hint as to when we will hear about final decisions. I was recommended for an ETA grant to Thailand. Anyone here on the same boat, specifically for Thailand? I'm really glad to have finally found this year's blog and to (hopefully) share in the 2-3 month long rollercoaster ride along with you all. I think about it every.single.day. Dream about it sometimes, and often re-read my application. Sad and unhealthy, I know! J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WC205 Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Am hoping maybe our first Fulbrighters got this information in their acceptance emails, or perhaps others know the answer... generally, how much time is given between hearing that you've received an award and the deadline to formally commit to accept/decline the award? Is it a very fast turnaround or are we given some time to consider it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
