Sine Posted July 13, 2014 Posted July 13, 2014 Guess what, guys!!!! I got the ETA grant for Russia after being an Alternate for what seems like forever. Kazan here I come!!! WOOOO!! Congratulations!
sirmixalot Posted July 16, 2014 Posted July 16, 2014 Good to hear everyone's positive news! Especially since I've gotten the opposite. I sent a brief email just asking for an update, and I got the following: "At this point it is not likely that we will be able to upgrade any alternates because the principal candidates have accepted their grant offers. That said, it is in the realm of possibilities that a principal could decline after accepting the award, but it is not a likely possibility." So, time to re-sign my lease, and find a job that excites me half as much as the fellowship would have. Good luck to the other alternates! KyleWener 1
danielaface Posted July 16, 2014 Posted July 16, 2014 Congratz, girl! That's amazing news. Maybe there is room for ooooooone more alternate to be converted to P status I really hope that there is! I'm wishing you luck!
Secret_Ninja Posted July 19, 2014 Posted July 19, 2014 Anyone else get a notice from Fulbright that their name was released in a press release today? Tiffany B 1
Sine Posted July 19, 2014 Posted July 19, 2014 Anyone else get a notice from Fulbright that their name was released in a press release today? Yep, I got that too. It's a generic form for you to give to press. They haven't made any releases on your behalf (I don't think).
danielaface Posted July 20, 2014 Posted July 20, 2014 Are there any Fulbrighters who are planning on blogging on their adventure? Would you mind posting a link? I'd love to follow your experience! sirmixalot 1

SoundandVision Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 Anyone else get through the first round? Getting anxious to hear about my status. Has anyone heard from the in-country agency yet? Good luck everyone!
RosyPosy68 Posted February 17, 2015 Posted February 17, 2015 Hi Erynfe! I hope you've found the more recent Fulbright thread! It's more relevant to your post! Fulbright 2015-2016! Good luck

Subject line: Fulbright Applicant Status (P), received at 3:48PM CST. Feeling soso incredibly grateful for this opportunity!! To all of those who are still waiting, best of luck!! To the alternates, you never know what's gonna happen next. And to those of you who weren't accepted, keep your chins up - I'm a strong believer that everything happens for a reason. You made it to the finalist round for a reason, so that means you got something special in you, and you're bound to accomplish great things Hi Jeminab! I know it has been a year but I found out today that I was accepted for the ETA in Mexico for next year!! I wanted to hear about your experience- if you have any tips or advice? The email gave me very little information so I'm just trying to figure all of it out! Thanks so much!
