ecoponophobic Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 totally throwing off the timing but.......OFFICIALLY A FULBRIGHTER TO AUSTRIA!!!!! got the e-mail at 10:30am EST from the program coordinater of Austrian-American Educational Commission. Don't know if it was the same for you, but the letter of acceptance was attached to an email that began: "Thank you for your interest in the Fulbright program." I thought: dear God no.

TUJFV2013 Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Gah now I'm panicking come on - where are my UKers?? I'm here! I have been checking this forum everyday, our answers are only days away. I can only smile while day dreaming in anticipation of good news. I pray we all get the answers we so desperately desire! I can so use 9 months in the UK right now, i can't wait! there'sanappforthat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecoponophobic Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Nothing in the subject line? The subject was: "Candidacy for a Fulbright Award to Austria, 2013-14" The email itself didn't say anything like "congrats!" it started with "thank you for your interest..." and talked about needing to accept formally or something. and it had the letter attached. I just couldn't figure out what it meant! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TUJFV2013 Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 To the UK folks: How was your interview? Did you feel like ya nailed it!? As for me, i think mine went well, i did mock interviews with a colleague so that really helped. I just hope UK-Fulbright thinks i did well too. So they said we should hear by mid-March. I'm thinking we have exactly one week to find out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking we have exactly one week to find out... I unfortunately don't think mine went well at all- they called me late and I was super flustered. But we'll see.... I can dream... When they say they recommended at least 2x the number of people, does that mean like for every partnership university, there was at least 2 people? Or what?

11Q13 Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Anyone know if the ETA and full scholarships are normally announced at the same time (Germany)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
there'sanappforthat Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 (edited) Anyone know if the ETA and full scholarships are normally announced at the same time (Germany)? Last year they were not, I don't think. Are you an ETA as well?I have hope that they will this year, though. They seem to be doing things a little bit differently this year.

And I want to know noooww waaaaah Lol, seriously i want to know now too! Maybe it will give me more motivation to finish this semester strong so i can hurry up an get the the UK. As for being flustered, i'm sure that was a common factor among us all. Plus they know that we are super nervous at this time. Regarding those recommended, i don't really know the ratio, i saw someone post 1.5 to 2. So i guess it could mean that we are competing with 2 other folks. I keep on day dreaming that no one else applied to my school, so i am only competing with myself but i know that's unlikely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
