CrystalDee Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 That wasn't helpful in the slightest. You should write your FPA back and say "HEY! Thanks for telling me something I already knew!!" Jk, jk. Agreed! He was really vague. I think he is shocked I am still in the running. Lol! Sorry I couldn't get more info. I tried. *sigh* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmv34 Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Wasn't there a spreadsheet with, like, the last 5 years' notification dates by country? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried. *sigh* Awww, don't say that! My FPA is worse though. I ask her something and she's like, "Yes, I can confirm that you will find out...sometime..."Oh, well, right! I'll just set alarm for sometime, then, shall I? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should know better than to get notified on all posts when people are flipping out about being notified. Assume at least a few pages of posts a day. =P there'sanappforthat and kumar1244 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, turn off the notifications. If you aren't interested in having a conversation while we wait, maybe you should find another forum.

BlueLightSpecial Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 ... 30 posts of nonsense. My inbox blew up for no apparent reason. I hope everyday is not like this. You mean you don't care about Swedish cinema...? The posts are getting pretty neurotic. At least I have a standard by which to measure my own anxiety against and have the comfort of knowing that there are others out there who are on edge. I'm not entirely sure why I keep coming back here as country/program release times have no bearing on each other, and at this point there is very little news that can be offered besides a direct notification from Fulbright, which come can seemingly at any time during traditional business hours. I would almost have preferred to have not come to this website, but it was very helpful during the application process. I guess, like others, it has become a habit to help pass the time. And to distract myself from GRE flashcards. I also don't have post notifications on (I didn't know that was a thing). I can see inbox explosion being frustrating.

If I had an upvote to give you would get it. I enjoy learning a little about the community of people who have applied for the grant and I believe that our conversation which has ranged from teaching certifications to politics (careful, careful) to TV shows has an applicable use to people engaging in all sorts of things including anxiety relief and travel prep. I would love to meet some of you someday and I thank you for participating. I think the deal is : if you would rather only know when something important happens check in once in a while or wait for an email from IIE. Otherwise we welcome you to our little band of neurotics and thank you for your participation :-). there'sanappforthat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd think a group of people interested in traveling and learning about other cultures JUST MIGHT be interested in Swedish film.Methinks someone must not get much exposure to the internet..

Guess we'll have to wait till Friday at least. So, I know it seems like in the past, notifications came about 3 or so weeks after the interview? But was somebody here told 2 weeks on their phone interview? Do you think they'll still hold until mid-March? And why Friday at least? /Why not tomorrow?

Books2readme Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 I really don't see the harm in killing time. There is no harm in random conversations. I am very calm, but more annoyed than anything else. I will certainly stop checking this site until there is real news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 60 seconds of cleaning your inbox must have been excruciating. keep calm and turn off notifications. This forum will be about fulbright again when there's news from fulbright. I really don't see the harm in killing time. If anything, killing time and NOT talking about fulbright scholarships or waiting can help out a bit with nerves. I know it does for me at least.

Thank you for letting me know of my options. Maybe you hadn't noticed, but this board is here to fill many people's needs, not just yours. If some people need to pass the time with others who understand what they are going through, so be it. Sorry we are being such an inconvenience.

I mean, they told me about two weeks, so that's why I thought it'd be this week! As for why I think it's Friday- idk, Thursday seems like a pretty random day of the week compared to Monday, Wednesday, or Friday, and Friday is also the 15th, hence my thinking. If it is tomorrow though, I'll be over the moon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
