kbui Posted January 17, 2013 Posted January 17, 2013 I can't believe there are 40 people following the forum right now. There's a lot of nervous souls searching and yearning for their Fulbright acceptance letter, lol.
cheeriooldfriend Posted January 17, 2013 Posted January 17, 2013 Wake me up on Saturday morning... Good luck everyone!
fondizzle Posted January 17, 2013 Posted January 17, 2013 Holy shit there are a lot of us. Any India Fulbrighters in the house!!??
Books2readme Posted January 17, 2013 Posted January 17, 2013 Ugh, let me casually text my FPA for results.
jahanzlik Posted January 17, 2013 Posted January 17, 2013 Ugh, let me casually text my FPA for results. How do you casually text?
Books2readme Posted January 17, 2013 Posted January 17, 2013 How do you casually text? Hmmm, I guess it's texting using casual/informal words.
MiniT Posted January 17, 2013 Posted January 17, 2013 Guys, I feel so popular right now. Thank the baby Lord if we don't get Fulbright we at least have VIRTUAL FRIENDSHIP and Frosty's. And isn't that what life is really all about?
jahanzlik Posted January 17, 2013 Posted January 17, 2013 Hmmm, I guess it's texting using casual/informal words. I am supposed to drop something off at my FPAs office. I wonder if her facial expressions would tell me.
Here'sHopin'! Posted January 17, 2013 Posted January 17, 2013 Hello everyone! In case you didn't go back and read, we are definitely being told by tomorrow (Friday) evening. We've seen some FPA's say that it's definitely tomorrow, and others say "by" tomorrow in a letter forwarded directly for the Fulbright offices. Either way, tonight we will find out if we have to wait just one more day. Also, based on last year, some of us think that the Full grant applications will be notified today, and the ETA's tomorrow, in keeping with the 2 year pattern. Last year they were announced separately, (I'm guessing because its a whole lot of emails and they wanted to break it up...) and we don't think they will be working on a Saturday to do this. I remember them finding out last year around 7-7:30, grad cafe time, which is an hour ahead of me. I'm in NJ, so maybe I will hear 6/6:30. My husband is applying for a full and I am applying for an ETA. It might be interesting to see how this works out if it does end up being on different days. I bet if he is given a no today I will be much more stressed tomorrow! Part of me says, "just tell me no, already" so I can move on.
Here'sHopin'! Posted January 17, 2013 Posted January 17, 2013 I am supposed to drop something off at my FPAs office. I wonder if her facial expressions would tell me. Yeah, it's like they have to be trained in poker or something. If I were an FPA I'd avoid any of the applicants because I don't think I could not give them a little smile or something if they got it!
Books2readme Posted January 17, 2013 Posted January 17, 2013 I am supposed to drop something off at my FPAs office. I wonder if her facial expressions would tell me. I would be so frightened to drop by at such a time. You never know; maybe you'll be greeted with a huge smile.
jahanzlik Posted January 17, 2013 Posted January 17, 2013 I would be so frightened to drop by at such a time. You never know; maybe you'll be greeted with a huge smile. Now, I am also wondering who sends all the emails. It is an automated list, all these people got it and all these people didnt. Or is one person doing it for each region?
legallyproper Posted January 17, 2013 Posted January 17, 2013 It sucks that every time I've heard back from Fulbright. Last year I was in India and this year in Budapest, Hungary. That only decreases the amount of sleep I will get tonight and/or tomorrow Out of curiosity is anyone else abroad at the moment?
jlw1170 Posted January 17, 2013 Posted January 17, 2013 Just recieved a response from my FPA saying "they've told us that they are sending notifications today and tomorrow." Sounds like from the forum that grant applicants will be the ones hearing first but too all GOOD LUCK!

I will believe that one since it is want i want to believe. haha. So excited and scared! Well, my husband will probably be finding out tonight then (full) and me tomorrow (eta).
katzky89 Posted January 17, 2013 Posted January 17, 2013 I'm going on GradCafe before I check my email every time so I can prepare for the email when it comes. ditto

Books2readme Posted January 17, 2013 Posted January 17, 2013 I have an email address made just for my notification email. I'm guessing that once I get off work tonight my yahoo messenger will read "1 new message..." *breathes deeply*
there'sanappforthat Posted January 17, 2013 Posted January 17, 2013 longest day of work EVER.... it doesn't help that all I do is stare at my inbox for 10 hours.,.. Oh man. You and me both. We still haven't picked up after Christmas. I've spent the day hoping for something to do, in between dozing off with my eyes open. It's excruciating.
karahead Posted January 17, 2013 Posted January 17, 2013 My routine in all of my classes today: *checks grad cafe* *checks email* *checks grad cafe* *checks email* *reloads email* *looks up at professor for less than a minute* Repeat...
