Brandon_M. Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 I'm a bit confused about this interview talk, do only specific programs in specific countries do post recommendation interviews? I've been recommended at-large for an ETA in Turkey and I can't find anything that suggests that all ETAs, or any for that matter, get interviewed outside of if your university required an interview. Anyone one know or is also a bit worried that they're missing something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmv34 Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Got an e-mail from my FPA a couple days ago saying the IIE sent all FPA's a heads-up e-mail indicating that selection notifications will likely come earlier than usual this year. She also made a point of saying notifications will be arriving via e-mail this year (in past years it's been snail mail, at least for selected individuals). ...this must be what it feels like to throw raw meat to a pack of wild dogs...except instead of raw meat it's largely useless, soon-to-be completely moot hearsay, and instead of a pack of wild dogs it's a far more ravenous and dangerous collective of type A's... cm125, kltree, princehal and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kumar1244 Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 I also heard that notifications will be coming out soon, but it will be the alternate/rejections. The 2nd round recommended candidates must go back around to IEE for whatever reason and will be coming a bit later. From my FPA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or did you just mean earlier than usual? Also, this is for all countries as far as you know, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also heard that notifications will be coming out soon, but it will be the alternate/rejections. The 2nd round recommended candidates must go back around to IEE for whatever reason and will be coming a bit later. From my FPA. My advisor said the process is proceeding normally, in the same manner as last year. The aforementioned national email said: "In the coming weeks, Fulbright U.S. Student selection decisions will start coming in from the host countries. Because Fulbright requires additional review and approval of selected panels by the Department of State and the Fulbright Foreign Scholarship Board, applicant notification will begin in early March and continue through April and May. The first notification of selection, alternate or non-selection status will be issued by IIE in an email to the students. As was the case last year, we will copy the FPA on the email so that you will know the decision at the same time the student does. Good luck to your students and many thanks for your support of the Fulbright Program." Edited February 19, 2013 by cm125 cm125 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustChill Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Sounds like the bottom line is that we just need to sit tight and wait some more. I'd imagine that most applicants (depending on the country) will hear something by mid-April, and I doubt anything is going to come out in March, although I'd love to be wrong.

jms355 Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 That's good to know. I wonder how many Full grant applicants were recommended for Spain this year. Comrade - there are 24 full grants to be given, and there are 50-60 full grant recommendations. As a rule, of those 50-60 recommended people, 50% will be offered the grant, 25% will be wait-listed, and 25% will be rejected. Hope we both get it and I see you in Spain.

GTComb Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 UK Fulbright Applicants - anyone else still in the dark on the interview? I advanced as a finalist and "At-Large" applicant for a partnership award, but I haven't heard anything about the phone interview. Unfortunately, no FPA for me to reach out to. Anyone have any advice, perhaps from their own FPA? I get the feeling that its time to start thinking about Plan B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naomi88 Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Hi all, I've been recommended for a full/research to Mexico. I haven't got word about any interviews yet. My advisor on campus thought only ETA and Business applicants had Skype interviews with Comexus and wasn't certain about interviews for full/research applicants. Anybody know about this? Has anyone heard from Comexus yet? Best of luck to everyone! I have also been recommended to mexico fo a research grant. I justgotan email today telling me that I have a skype interview on March 12th.- Totally unexpected, I thought only business and ETAs ha interviews. Now I'm freaking out! Hope this info helps.

That's not cool, my FPA didn't tell me anything about another interview. Here I was thinking I was in the clear just waiting to get selected or denied. If I don't get the grant after this nerve wrecking interview, it will be all the more disappointing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajollycossack Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 I've somehow ended up being much more anxious now. Was completely chill until the interview, and now am having pretty regular freak-outs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
