CrystalDee Posted May 5, 2013 Posted May 5, 2013 well shoot, invite me! facebook.com/lydiajwilson I was thinking about you the other day. They had student days at the University of Tartu and had a huge outdoor zumba class. medizumbacist 1
ultimatefrisbee Posted May 5, 2013 Posted May 5, 2013 (edited) For those of you who have received Fulbright grants, can the medical evaluation form be already completed and mailed before getting the grant terms and conditions? Also, flights shouldn't be booked yet either until those terms and conditions are signed? Just wondering since round trip airfare is included within my travel allowance, and those funds could take a while to actually be deposited in an account. Edited May 5, 2013 by ultimatefrisbee
CEUStudies Posted May 5, 2013 Posted May 5, 2013 Hello everybody! Just wanted to congratulate all who received an award and extend my support and encouragement to anybody who did not. I'm sorry I haven't been on in a while - its exam time here! I wish you all the best of luck!
Jamaicabound Posted May 5, 2013 Posted May 5, 2013 My Caribbean folks, will this be our week? I wish everyone the best and hope that those finals aren't being too hard on you zhaskin 1
rtlc06 Posted May 5, 2013 Posted May 5, 2013 My Caribbean folks, will this be our week? I wish everyone the best and hope that those finals aren't being too hard on you I'm crossing my fingers that it will be! But most importantly, I'm crossing my fingers that it will be good news for all of us! Wouldn't that be amazing? I think yes. zhaskin 1
ryanm Posted May 5, 2013 Posted May 5, 2013 @ryanm I'm in the same boat. Never posted before but just got accepted for a Turkey ETA! Congrats! Do you know of other Turkey ETAs at all? Congrats to you as well! Looking forward to meeting in Ankara! I don't know of any others myself (in fact, I'm the first from my college to ever get a Fulbright). I'm wondering if we should start a facebook group or something just for us Turkey grantees if there isn't one already.
zhaskin Posted May 5, 2013 Posted May 5, 2013 My Caribbean folks, will this be our week? I wish everyone the best and hope that those finals aren't being too hard on you It's time already! I'm making friendly bets with my roommates on whether I'll hear back this week or not. If we hear back, I'll be thrilled (hopefully), but if we don't, at least I'll get a margarita as compensation after my last final next Tuesday... win-win situation!
lunita Posted May 6, 2013 Posted May 6, 2013 Wow, I seriously can't believe how few notifications remain! I saw my family this weekend, and everyone was asking about it! I really hope I get it. Please, Switzerland, please. I know I will do great things for you! I'm in love with you Switzerland. Just give me a chance.
ultimatefrisbee Posted May 6, 2013 Posted May 6, 2013 Anyone perhaps have any follow up to those two questions I had last night? Thanks!
eesti Posted May 6, 2013 Posted May 6, 2013 Is it unusual for them to not notify everyone at once? I was a recommended candidate for Estonia, and see that there have been grants given and alternates notified. Worried that they notify rejections later and this is why I haven't heard.
aer5787 Posted May 6, 2013 Posted May 6, 2013 Congratulations to everyone who has received grants and encouragement to those who did not. I am a little late to this party - I was reccommended for a multi-country grant to Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia, however I have yet to hear anything. Do the multi-country decisions usually take longer?

I was a recommended candidate for Estonia, and see that there have been grants given and alternates notified. Worried that they notify rejections later and this is why I haven't heard. Tere hommikust, eesti! I wish I could help you. The email I received said that primary candidates were receiving notification when alternates (like me) were notified. Check your spam emails. We have heard of those emails going to spam. Good luck!
zhaskin Posted May 6, 2013 Posted May 6, 2013 Ok, Latin America... time to straighten up! No more of this mañana crap...hoy! Give us some good news today por favor!!! CrystalDee 1
CrystalDee Posted May 6, 2013 Posted May 6, 2013 Fingers crossed for all my brothers and sisters waiting. Let's get some good news today! zhaskin your picture is cracking me up!
nfrancoiii Posted May 6, 2013 Posted May 6, 2013 Check those inboxes Latin America/Caribbean folks! FULL GRANT TO EL SALVADOR!!!!!
MuscaTiger Posted May 6, 2013 Posted May 6, 2013 Alternate... I'm so sorry!!!!! Your picture alone should have made you a primary candidate. But just move forward with your plans, and hopefully a spot will open up for you!
zhaskin Posted May 6, 2013 Posted May 6, 2013 Honestly quite shocked. I told Panama to hurry up and respond, and got the email less than five minutes later. Had I known that, I would have done that months ago! lol. At least the real waiting is over... I won't be too stressed about alternate, as I'll make other plans. PS: The picture is from a Beauty and the Geek party. I didn't have to dress up
zhaskin Posted May 6, 2013 Posted May 6, 2013 Check those inboxes Latin America/Caribbean folks! FULL GRANT TO EL SALVADOR!!!!! Felicitaciones!!!
Jamaicabound Posted May 6, 2013 Posted May 6, 2013 I just received my email: Not Selected for Jamaica. I'm still shaking. I wish all Caribbean applicants the best, and to those that got their grants: have the best time!
bvosler Posted May 6, 2013 Posted May 6, 2013 I got it!!!!! Full grant to Barbados!!!!!! I can't feel my legs!!!!
CrystalDee Posted May 6, 2013 Posted May 6, 2013 Alternate... Sorry, brother, I feel ya. You have the right attitude about it, just keep moving on. *hugs to you!
eesti Posted May 6, 2013 Posted May 6, 2013 Tere hommikust, eesti! I wish I could help you. The email I received said that primary candidates were receiving notification when alternates (like me) were notified. Check your spam emails. We have heard of those emails going to spam. Good luck! Tere! I checked my spam as soon as I saw people were being notified, but nothing. I applied through my school with an advisor, so she would also be notified by any update in my application status. I checked with her this a.m. and she's still in the dark but will call to make sure I'm not still waiting when I shouldn't be.
zhaskin Posted May 6, 2013 Posted May 6, 2013 (edited) ETA Central America/Caribbean Alternates: check for a follow-up email from Ashley ASAP!!! Edited May 6, 2013 by zhaskin
