minusthehare Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Two months since recommendations went out. One way or another, we are all impressive for holding on. *barely holding on lol. For me at least. SmarteyMartey 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olioliwoo Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Two months since recommendations went out. One way or another, we are all impressive for holding on. Very true. It's also given me a new perspective on applying for things: "Oh I could apply to fellowship X, I only have to wait 2 months for an answer", "Oh this looks cool and it's less work than the Fulbright application."

ginagoestokorea Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 I'm treating myself out to some Korean cuisine today. Reminiscing about Korea and applying for the grad school in Seoul should take my mind off of the possible email notification for today haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mdog3000 Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Congratulations, man! I guess you haven't heard back from the Australian Fulbright commission yet? No I haven't heard anything back. I feel like they don't intend to reply. Also, I noticed on the Google doc that several of the Australia applicants info has been deleted. There were 5 and now there's only 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmarteyMartey Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 For those of you who applied to Taiwan, I emailed the ETA program coordinator yesterday. Here is her response: From: Kelly Chang <kchang@fulbright.org.tw>Date: Thu, Mar 27, 2014 at 11:50 PMSubject: RE: ETA InquiryTo: You should receive the result around mid of April from IIE in New York. Best, Kelly Thank you for sharing this! Like the minusthehare, I was hoping to have a decision early April but surprised to see that she specified it!

kmshrader Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 It's not looking like good news for our Polish forum buddies so far Or, as I've just noticed, for the Greek applicants either Maybe they sent rejections first?

cocoa_cookie Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Research or graduate grant? Yes...1600 EST... Research/Study grant. Not graduate. Which did you do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breenok Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 (edited) That's a good point. I have asked this question on the forum before, but I'd be interested to hear your answer: How much of your first application did you keep and how much did you start from scratch on (did you have your letters of rec re-written, etc.)? I applied for a different country this time around. Last year I had also applied for a different research grant (which I didn't receive) with the same institution I'm applying to for Fulbright this year and utilized some of those materials. This time around, I used the same affiliation from that grant application, but I worked with them more closely to come up with a more specific, more planned out project and they wrote me a much stronger letter of affiliation (maybe they recognized that I was determined since I was coming back for a second go at it). I used two of the same recommendation letter writers, only replacing the last one because I had someone new who I had worked with more recently and had a closer tie to German research. I didn't specifically ask that letters be re-written, but I was very specific in my updated requests about the scope of the new project. I don't know if this all worked, but I guess I'll just wait and see! I wouldn't say it felt like I was starting any of it from scratch as I had those previous materials to work with, but I don't think that much of it (outside of the general ideas/essence) ended up much like the original drafts from the previous application.

yeloquehay Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Hey all! Just found out that I was not selected for the Spain ETA. I'm still sort of letting it sink in....but that's life, I guess! There's always the future. More chances to apply, other things to apply for...we'll see! Best of luck to everyone who is still in the running!
