there'sanappforthat Posted March 19, 2013 Posted March 19, 2013 Alternate. =( Congrats Gender!!! That is truly awesome though. I'm really sorry Alternate is better than not at all, at least, although, at this point, I'm sure it's very hard to look at it that way. More waiting. Man, I should TOTALLY be on the Fulbright board, because you would HAVE IT IN THE BAG!! Too bad my vote doesn't count for anything Big hugs! Hang in there!
there'sanappforthat Posted March 19, 2013 Posted March 19, 2013 Congrats to UKers, glad you guys found out earlier than expected! (Didn't someone's FPA say like..two weeks?) Haven't heard from Pbo, I can't remember any other UKers ...

there'sanappforthat Posted March 19, 2013 Posted March 19, 2013 *exasperated sigh* Have had very little work come in today. SOO. BORED. And I guarentee it's all going to come in at 4:00 pm. Trying to talk myself out of going out for lunch because I am so very bored. I really wish Germany would email today.
rtlc06 Posted March 19, 2013 Posted March 19, 2013 Although I am waiting to hear about a teacher exchange, everything else in the process (including checking this board and my email 75x per day) has been very similar to what you all are going through. I'm supposed to hear in "Early April" if I've been matched in the UK. This is what I got from IIE regarding the sequester: "As you are aware, several federal agencies, including the U.S. Department of State, are still awaiting important funding decisions. Regardless of these final decisions, the selection and matching process for the Fulbright Classroom Teacher Exchange Program is still underway." So I'm a bit confused about the sequester... Does it only affect ETA programs? Or do the cuts extend to full grant programs as well? It seems like they would apply to all, but this email implies that maybe teaching programs are the only ones impacted?Anyway, I don't understand... More importantly: Congrats to all of those who were accepted for the UK!! And my heart goes out to the alternates - I've been there before (for a different region, however) and I know how awful it feels...

And my heart goes out to the alternates - I've been there before (for a different region, however) and I know how awful it feels... I don't even know that you can conjecture that ETA programs are being directly affected by sequester based on that post, because the program Mathlete was referring to is one specifically for educators (i.e., full-fledged teachers) to go abroad, not would-be TAs. It's an entirely different program, although I have no idea if sequester would be affecting all Fulbright programs equally or if only certain programs are affected.
