rtlc06 Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Hi all! Been a lurker for some time, yet haven't wanted to sign up for fear of being rejected... but.... just got accepted for a Turkey ETA Fulbright yesterday! Been such a surreal experience. I already have much international experience, yet this is definitely something special and unique. Congrats! And welcome to out little community :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Porshyen Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 First of all, I just want to say thank you for all the advice regarding my question! I would not want them digging through my personal medical history, especially if I don't think it would be relevant. Sort of like how Germany is playing the "We're not going to tell you where you're being placed until we feel like it" game while at the same time telling us to book flights by the end of this Month Yeah, how is that supposed to work? How can you be expected to purchase tickets when you are not sure of the location in which you are going to be placed. arghhhh :'''''''' NS for armenia. Ouch. It hurts. Aw, that really is too bad. I am sorry. *internet hugs* The last couple of days have rough. :/ Come on, Morocco! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing is, I think they are assuming that most of us will be flying into Frankfurt, which I think is the best airport to fly into to get to Koeln, which is where our orientation is. That is they way it sounded from our paperwork we just got. I'm trying to decide how earlier I will go. I know people I could stay with, or I might go visit some family in Croatia. I'm not to keen on lugging around a years worth of luggage though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sarah888 Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 I received an email saying I was awarded the Morocco ETA! I'm heading out the door, but it feels unreal. For those out there who didn't make it, please know that I applied for a Fulbright to another country two years ago...I learned a lot from the process and I made myself a stronger candidate as a result. Don't give up! Eventually your work will pay off in one way or another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
