A much needed distraction:  Repost:

 

 

Okay, I'm freaking out a tad.  I'm applying for a full grant to the UK, I 

submitted my Fulbright application in the fall without a formal letter of affiliation, everything else was perfect.  In the letter's place, however, I had attached a disclaimer stating that the Fulbright webinar told me to use my letter of acceptance to King's College London as my letter of affiliation.  So, I told them what they told me, and because KCL's decision date is later than the Fulbright's, and because my main contact at KCL refused to write a letter before I got accepted, I added on the disclaimer that I would contact them as soon as a decision was made.
   However, once I got accepted into KCL, the IIE (organization that handles Fulbright) told me conflicting information regarding my submission of the letter after the Fulbright's due date.  They said that I was to supposed to upload a statement onto the application saying that KCL "supports" me, regardless if I got accepted or not.  Even more confusing was the way their advisers told me that I needed *a* letter--it was very ambiguous.  It left me thinking: should I have written my *own* letter of affiliation--UGH!!
  In any case, both advisers told me that should my application be recommended, I will be able to forward this letter that I now have.  
   Does anyone know of/have done this?  Is there a possibility I can still be considered for recommendation??

Ughhhh what in the world! I guess it's time to go to bed it's 2AM now! :(

 

Go to sleep, the rest of us will stress another 6 hours. You can take the morning shift!

Wow; and approximately 1,700 grants are awarded to US applicants each year.

so statistically speaking, the odds are against us.  :unsure:  I really hope not that many applied to Mexico.

Good luck to everyone, hope we all hear sooner rather than later. Waiting on response for a full grant for Colombia.
