exploretheworld Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 Just found out I'm a (P) for Fulbright-mtvU, VERY excited! @sirskipalot: My project is one-part music festival and one-part authoring monthly digital stories on the intersection of music & the environment. I'm currently a music journalist for a DC paper and have worked in live music programming (including festivals) since college. This feels like a dream! Congratulations to everyone else selected...if anyone else has been selected for a Fulbright in Iceland...let me know and I'd love to Skype. For those that still haven't heard back, keep beaming that inner positive energy! coopfing, sirmixalot and olioliwoo 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blue_bird Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 Wow! I just submitted my medical history form less than twenty-four hours ago and just received an email saying that my medical clearance has already been issued. Cool! Is that really it? Wow is right! I think I'll call about this on Monday. I submitted mine almost 2 weeks ago and haven't heard anything or seen anything on the portal page. But good for you that it got done so quickly!

The email was from the person in charge of the region. Maybe it is a regional thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GnosisExchange Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 Also, I just heard that a girl in my school just got bumped up to P for a Taiwan ETA. Alternates, there is still hope! olioliwoo and sirmixalot 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkdude02 Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 (edited) Still waiting for Argentina here, haven't heard anything since the initial finalist email. It's definitely later than they've notified in the past. I think there are some other SA countries waiting as well? Yep. Still waiting on Venezuela.

mhm223 Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 I still have not heard back on my final status. I applied to Oman. I contacted my program officer and he told me his colleagues in DC still haven't given him any notice for the recommended people who applied to Oman. :-( :-( :-( :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
romem Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 Thanks for the support guys, I really appreciate it!!! And I hope everyone who is waiting for Argentina and other countries hears back soon!

Shogun1 Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Wow! I just submitted my medical history form less than twenty-four hours ago and just received an email saying that my medical clearance has already been issued. Cool! Is that really it? I received the same email 24 hours after I submitted my forms online. I think we both received clearance if they emailed us back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sine Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Just got the email. (A) to Argentina. Disappointing since this happened three years ago too, but hoping for some movement/good news within the next month. Could be worse, right? Just more waiting. I'm alternate for Moldova, and have been waiting since mid-April. Hopefully your wait isn't that long. I've observed in past forums that things usually start heating up for alternates next week through mid June. Fingers crossed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
