rtlc06 Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 Congrats and condolences. Everyone is 'shaking' as a result of their good or bad news... I am imagining dozens of people around the country just shaking and convulsing at their computers right now in Fulbright induced seizures Haha yes - Fulbright induced seizures, indeed! I was seriously alarmed at how much my hands were shaking as I refreshed my email over and over (and over and over) waiting for my notification.

ronda Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 I got it!!!!! Full grant to Barbados!!!!!! I can't feel my legs!!!! Congratulations!! I just got a full grant to Barbados too, so exciting We should talk! To everyone on here - I discovered this a few weeks ago and have been loving all of the support and encouragement. Thanks for being such a lovely community, wishing you all great adventures ahead and fingers crossed for alternates and folks applying again. medizumbacist 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

latviaeta Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 Still haven't heard back from Latvia, the suspense is killing me! I have other job offers in the states that I need to get back to asap if I don't get the ETA, they're being generous in letting me wait until I hear back but I'm worried that this is trying their patience. Hopefully I will hear later today! Okay, awesome. I mean, not awesome that we haven't heard, but I'm glad I'm not the only ETA applicant waiting to hear!! Pleaaaase post the second you hear- my campus Fulbright advisor had no clue what was happening, so I think all we can do is sit and wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Horgan Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 Okay, awesome. I mean, not awesome that we haven't heard, but I'm glad I'm not the only ETA applicant waiting to hear!! Pleaaaase post the second you hear- my campus Fulbright advisor had no clue what was happening, so I think all we can do is sit and wait. I absolutely will! It's just getting downright disrespectful at this point, I can't keep putting all of my life plans on pause forever! I can understand that they have other important things to do than worry about us, but this is getting beyond ridiculous! How can it take this long to pick two people? I'm getting to the point pretty soon where I'm going to have to decline it even if I get it because I need to make other plans for next year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we don't hear by Friday I think I might have to give up AUGH. But now that I've heard from you I at least know that there are three of us confirmed in the final with maaaybe one more-- why does it take so long to decide TWO SPOTS?!?
