mmm97 Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 I'm still confused how one Norway applicant heard at the end of March and the rest are still waiting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USA.J Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 I'm still confused how one Norway applicant heard at the end of March and the rest are still waiting? Yes, this is when one may start to speculate that just perhaps that one person is lying. ginagoestokorea 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hina Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 I'm going to be like this when/if I get an acceptance letter next week: HAHA I think I'm gonna react like this whether I get accepted or not... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeatriceHolm Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Yes, this is when one may start to speculate that just perhaps that one person is lying. I honestly don't understand the motivation in any way, but as a Norway applicant I was very confused also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
india_applicant Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Does anyone have anymore news on when India applicants will hear? The last 2 year's notification dates were in March. Its hard to concentrate on my thesis with all this anticipation! fulbright_to_India 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its hard to concentrate on my thesis with all this anticipation! Hi india_applicant: I understand your situation completely. I can't think of anything else. USIEF informed another applicant that they should go out by the end of this week. Are you an ETA or Research? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
letshaveakeke Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Has anyone noticed that a Chile applicant updated their status to accepted? Makes me wonder if South America will be sending out notifications this week! O_o raymondnorth 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USIEF informed another applicant that they should go out by the end of this week. Are you an ETA or Research? Thank you! I am a research applicant. I hope we do find out this week, I have a job offer I have been putting off telling them my decision and I need to know about fulbright soon!

JacquiC Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 I was selected for Fulbright to India! FYI, there was no notification in the subject line. sirmixalot, tieloran, fulbright_to_India and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirmixalot Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 I got it! I can't even type I'm so excited. CONGRATS! I'm really excited to see how your fulbright turns out! Congrats to all the India grantees! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starlettmimi Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 (edited) Congrats to the India grantees! I'm sorry to those who didn't get it. Another door closes, as you know, another door opens. - Who knows - maybe you'll reapply next year and the door will reopen again. Heard back from Laos today. Bittersweet, I'm an alternate. My Fulbright adviser forwarded me the email and the status was in the headline like this: Fulbright Application Status (A) Chok Dee I hope you get it!!! I will definitely hope for the best and that I'm removed from the alternate list by Friday, but I understand it's rare. However, this is okay with me, since I still have Thailand in line for me. I'll still be lurking around and inform everyone of my final decision. Edited April 7, 2014 by starlettmimi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes me wonder if South America will be sending out notifications this week! O_o Yes, and a friend of mine also learned that she got a research Fulbright grant to Chile! I think she heard this past Friday. I'm waiting on Peru-- what about you? So far we have Mexico and Chile, ya? I am feeling good things about South + Central America sending out notifications soon. Sending good vibes your way! miri1776 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

starlettmimi Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Congratulations Welcome to the alternates club. Why is Friday the "deadline" for you to be bumped up? YAY! That's a congratulations I don't often hear, but I'll take it. Oh, lol I wish I could be bumped up on the list. I was selected to teach at the university level in Thailand as well. It's a corps position sponosored by Grinnell College and very similar. It's my backup plan, but I have to accept by Friday at noon, according to my Fulbright adviser. I don't blame him though since I've asked him to extend it since Spring Break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You deserve the congratulations to even get to this point! The opportunity in Thailand sounds amazing!! I guess worse comes to worse, you can accept the position Friday and maybe re-apply for Laos (although I can understand if you are just over this whole application process at the moment).

All the positivism is much appreciated. Yeah, when I think about it, it was such a long journey in applying for the Fulbright. I would love the opportunity to apply again and maybe I will reconsider as well. I was studying abroad off campus when applied, so it was almost like I applied at-large.

I applied for a research grant. Unfortunately, Peru has dropped from 12 grants when I applied to 8 in December to 5 as of a few weeks ago. Still optimistic, though!
