Horb Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 I just got an email!!! AND IT WAS A YES!! (Finalist) For Mexico, full research (dissertation research) YAYAYA! CONGRATS!!!!!!!
elle_woods Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 I just got an email!!! AND IT WAS A YES!! (Finalist) For Mexico, full research (dissertation research) YAYAYA! Congrats! Do some countries hear back before others? I'm an applicant for Singapore and I didn't get anything yet.
Horb Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 I am in the same boat. Mine was downright rude! Did you say so in your survey of the process? I did, because I think the FPA for my school needs to be replaced, and soon. I did, but not to the extent I should have. She was a nightmare, but the other person was nice and friendly. She just made me feel like because I have to work while in school I wasn't good enough for this scholarship and she also misplaced a lot of things...
dissertationresearch2014 Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 It was from Fulbright. I saw my FPA today and he didn't know...
Nrrrdgrrrl Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 (edited) It was from Fulbright. I saw my FPA today and he didn't know... Will you post the email? I'm just curious exactly how it was worded. Hooray for you! Edited January 24, 2014 by Nrrrdgrrrl tomjonesy517 1
Secret_Ninja Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 It seems strange that only one person -out of all the stalkers on this forum- got an email. Secret_Ninja and FingersCrossed_118 2
SaraBlue Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 Congrats! Oh gosh, now my heart is beating really fast. I haven't gotten anything yet.
tomjonesy517 Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 It seems strange that only one person -out of all the stalkers on this forum- got an email. Yeah...I am suspicious.
Nrrrdgrrrl Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 Yeah...I am suspicious. Agreed. Show us the email!
Mexbound Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 I also applied for Mexico full research and haven't heard :/
Secret_Ninja Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 Honestly, it could go by region. I don't think that it has historically.
cewarren6 Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 Honestly, it could go by region. Except that there is no mention on Twitter or Facebook, and there has been multiple independent corroborations that we will be hearing back on Tuesday. Also, no offense, austin05, but you just created an account 5 minutes before you posted that, so unless you can show a screenshot I'm calling troll. zaidypants 1
dissertationresearch2014 Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 lol, I guess I'd be suspicious too. Mexico has a special program- García-Robles- and it came straight from the director (not a form email or generic response address). I'm guessing that's why it came before Tuesday
Horb Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 New decision: we all get fulbrights. Let us write to them! Secret_Ninja and Z4Zebra 2

cewarren6 Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 These things did happen in years prior, too. A small number of people found out indirectly through their host site, etc. It's not unheard of.
Mexbound Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 I'm in the same boat as Austin05 You applied for the same grant. Crap so did I... Ugh this is not a good sign...
kagt Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 Ok, I applied for Mexico (graduate degree grant) and I received an acceptance email from Garcia Robles too. It was in my "·"·$%$ junk mail folder!! The weird thing is, it sent me a link for a survey to complete in order to set up an interview, but gives a deadline of Jan 3. Huh??? The email looks like this: Dear (my name), Congratulations! You have made it past the initial selection process for the Fulbright-García Robles Grant and have been chosen for an interview. We know you started with this process a while ago. Thus, in order to confirm you are still interested in the grant, we kindly ask you to complete the following survey which will not take more than 10 minutes: (I erased the link) You must fill the survey by Monday, January 3rd at 09:00 a.m. (Central Time) the latest. The failure to complete it will result in the revocation of your application.
Secret_Ninja Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 Thanks for putting up with us and assuaging our concerns. Hopefully your delayed survey response won't be a problem and perhaps Mexbound will still get good news on Tuesday.
