maz Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Ha I wish, but I trust my FPAs in saying that it takes a good 2 days to get approval. I'm hoping for no later than Monday. well we can think of it like this - this will be the last weekend that we don't know what our Fulbright status is! maybe...

That may or may not be a good thing (I am pessimistic), but I hope I'll feel better when I know... Though my other fellowship I don't find out about until the first week of April.

ARGHHH Haha yeah I'm not feeling too optimistic either - I desperately want to know but I'm also afraid of receiving a negative answer and then just being done... If you don't mind my asking, what is the other fellowship you applied for? The only two I knew of were Marshall and Fulbright for UK programs - is there another one or is it specific to your discipline? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's distracting me from studying, which is frustrating. And not at all- I also applied to Whitaker. It's a discipline specific one, though (biomedical engineering).

CAJ54 Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 I have been reading this thread for a while but this is my first post. Just curious if anyone else on this thread applied to Venezuela? Also does anyone know if the political climate in your country affects the grants and how they are awarded? CAJ54 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW, I also wrote to my FPA when I got the email from Eilish and she just now responded, saying she guesses I'll hear by MID-APRIL!!! I know she's thinking of the general Fulbright timeline rather than the UK timeline but man, that email offered me NO relief ha! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know she's thinking of the general Fulbright timeline rather than the UK timeline but man, that email offered me NO relief ha! Whaaaaaaat THAT WOULD FREAKING SUCK. If I find out Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday, I will actually cry. All of my finals somehow are in the span of those 3 days due to crappy scheduling by the registrar. Oh gosh. Just please Monday or Tuesday. Please please please. Even though logically I know I won't hear from them today, I'm still getting nervous again until 5 pm EST.... EDIT: I applied to the UK, same place as I applied for Fulbright/the letter of affiliation was super easy to get since I already had one. =P My focus would be on imaging and sensing. You? And are you applying as a fellow or scholar? Edited March 15, 2013 by Anon314 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crthrasher Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Right on! Fellow Germany ETA applicant! High five! Yay, go Germany ETA applicants!! <3 I hope we all get in so we can all meet each other and have good times, etc. I know it's competitive but on the bright side, the acceptance rate for Germany ETA is a lot higher than Germany full grants! So there's hope right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And are you applying as a fellow or scholar? Netherlands, applied for the Fellows one. I am planning to use finite element modeling to determine what factors affect bone ingrowth into porous orthopaedic implants. Looking at patient factors (BMI, activity level, quality of bone), and implant factors (porosity, elastic modulus, pore size, etc) and how they affect bone ingrowth. My phd research involves analyzed retrieved human implants. Its all IRB-approved research and our group publishes a lot due to a majority of the funding coming from the NIH.

jordski Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Hey all, I had my Skype interview this week for a full/research to Mexico. I heard via my FPA that some interviews with Comexus will be going next week too. Has anybody heard anything about Mexico's usual timeframe for getting word out to applicants? I'm thinking mid-April... Good luck to everybody! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mathlete Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 It's Friday. I thought all day I might hear something because all my other good news from Fulbright has come on a Friday. I could literally see the word Fulbright in my inbox before I looked, but alas, I must wait another week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
