lkjl2007 Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 I'm hoping to study Eduard Hanslick, a 19th century music critic who was extremely influential to Viennese culture. And a part-time ETA, which is why Austrian fulbrights can be so excellent. but isn't it the coolest? As far as I know it is the only country that offers part time study/part time ETA -which couldn't have been more perfect for me and in a German speaking country - a dream come true. I am hoping to studying linguistics at Universität Wien and then most likely fall into a linguistics or german graduate program back in the US (if I would ever come back ha). Have you visited the university or Vienna before? I was just there this summer and absolutely fell in love with it! Good Luck! I feel like we should hear soon.......! Congrats to both of you--because I think I saw that you both got the Fulbright for Austria Just so you know, while technically the teaching assistantship is part time for everyone, combined Full/USTA grantees (aka both of you) work the same number of hours/are doing the same teaching as us lowly USTA-only people. That is, assuming they haven't changed the program for next year, but that seems unlikely. One of my good friends here is a combined grantee and there are all kinds of extra perks (trips! balls!) especially if you're in Vienna. Get ready for an amazing year!

I've never even heard of the combined until now!I don't remember seeing anything about it on the Fulbright website, what is it exactly?

ecoponophobic Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 I've never even heard of the combined until now! I don't remember seeing anything about it on the Fulbright website, what is it exactly? It's an option for Austria. Full/ETA combined. It's a great hybrid and a big reason I chose to apply to Austria and not Germany. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, ok, I see it on the website. Other than the balls , what are the benefits of doing a combined over an ETA or just a Full? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, applying for that specifically makes you more desirable as a candidate for Austria. But for me, I wanted to study as well as teach, and here you get to do both. It's just a unique opportunity.

I'm about ready to give up on hearing today too. ... I may or may not have already done that earlier this week! O:) I saw no pattern over the past 6 years and there was nothing on weekends. For reference, it's as follows (for Germany ETAs): 04/04/07: Wednesday 04/11/08: Friday 04/02/09: Thursday 03/23/10: Tuesday 04/04/11: Monday 03/26/12-03/28/12: Monday - Wednesday I checked for Full Grants as well. Again, no pattern and only on week days. Not sure about other countries though! Edited March 9, 2013 by lowin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advanced! https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AmoTe-gJd4B9dFJ0aW1mYTVkYnhKcUEzR28yRTNwdlE&pli=1#gid=8 This should hopefully open it up to the "Past Notification Dates" tab, but if not, it is attached to the current Google Doc! If you look on the bottom, it lists notifications by recent years and also has a tab for a spreadsheet comparing dates since 2007. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Books2readme Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 looks like another day...... If we keep this up, we'll make every day seem extra important. It's a waste of time... this thread blew up with at least 15 posts before there was a notification for the Austria Fulbrighter. I see 20 notifications about new posts, and the majority of the conversations are "I hope today is the day..." like every day. I'm not a very patient guy, but waiting patiently is the most sensible thing to do in my opinion. JustChill and Books2readme 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, though, I think the reason a lot of us are here is because we're not particularly good at patiently waiting. I know I would've been freaking out every day with or without this forum, and it's nice to know that there are other people out there going through the same thing.

ecoponophobic Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 (edited) Just in case anyone was wondering, my email came straight from Austria, not through New York. I just thought since there were ideas coming through about all information being from the American end this year. So 10:30 am is actually late afternoon over in Austria.

Nib_nabJab Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Question... so I've applied and become a finalist for South Korea! I am worried about all these tensions with North Korea... I have some offers from graduate schools. And if everything is about to blow up with N. Korea I dunno what I should do. Any comments? Ideas?

moechtegerndeutsche Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Hey Austria folks, long time lurker and recent grantee here...Did your letter mention specifically that your grant was a combined ETA/study grant? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecoponophobic Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Hey Austria folks, long time lurker and recent grantee here...

moechtegerndeutsche Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Yes. Which is what I applied for.Okay, thanks. Mine only mentioned a study grant, but I thought my chances of receiving a study grant alone as a graduating senior were very low, so I was suspicious.And of course, Herzlichen Glückwunsch!Good luck and best wishes to everyone still waiting!

lkjl2007 Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Tristate and have a Fulbright forum denizens' party. And toast to ecoponophobic's recent success! haha! awesome! Sounds like a plan! If nothing else, if we all make it, we should definitely meet up at the Conference in DC! Not to be a downer but Germany ETAs don't go to the DC orientation Just an in-country one.

Ennaeihpos Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 So..... Anybody else back to panicking for the weekdays? This week is mid-March! Eep. I woke up this morning thinking, "tomorrow is Monday. I might know tomorrow." I'm suspecting that we (UK applicants) will hear by Friday at the latest, or that's what I'm telling myself to maintain my sanity... So tomorrow we have a 1 in 5 chance, right? Heh.

Dr. Herp Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Hi all, Feeling much better from the 'phoid now. Discharged from the Sri Lankan hospital, pumped full of antibiotics and trying not to vomit everywhere... Ok, I've updated the spreadsheet with recommended and not recommendeds. If someone hasn't posted on the forum since prior to the first round notification, then they're considered "not recommended." If you've found I've edited you in error, please update! At row 200, you'll notice statistics on those accepted/alternate/rejected etc. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AmoTe-gJd4B9dFJ0aW1mYTVkYnhKcUEzR28yRTNwdlE#gid=1 herp derp. Good luck!
