Mumstheword Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 oooh maybe it couldn't handle the Fulbright notification burst
cewarren6 Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 nevmind Mumstheword, does the 'TZ' in your program description stand for Tanzania? I submitted a Full Research application for Tanzania, so I'd be happy to see another Tanzania hopeful on here!
Mumstheword Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 It surely does! Good luck! Care to share what your project is about?
olioliwoo Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 Gmail looks to be back up. In stalking twitter, I did come across this though: "HAHAHAHA Gmail goes down the day I'm hoping for Fulbright notifications LOLZ *Stabs self in the eye*"
DC_Bee Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 Maybe it was all of us constantly reloading our inboxes that killed gmail. I'm going to go cry in the corner now.
Nrrrdgrrrl Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 At what point today do we assume it's not happening, and we all go have a beer...or 12? Anahid 1
lslavic12 Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 Hey Fulbright hopefuls; I just received an email from my FPA as follows: "I just received word that you will be notified via email on Tuesday, 1/28 sometime after 5pm as to whether your application was RECOMMENDED or NOT RECOMMENDED to your potential host country." Hope this eases some of your stress and worries for the time being! FingersCrossed_118, DC_Bee, zjlb79 and 5 others 8
Mumstheword Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 Last year I got the announcement at 4:01 CST so don't throw in the towel yet. Although getting off this forum and being surprised by an email is better for your emotional health, I imagine.

I can now focus on finalizing my lectures for next week and stop jumping at every "ding".
Secret_Ninja Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 Nice! Thanks for sharing this. I don't know if I can wait until Tuesday though. The funny thing about time.. it just keeps on truckin...
cewarren6 Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 It surely does! Good luck! Care to share what your project is about? Hooray! Mambo I'm in Public Health--I want to help quantify a reduction in malaria risk as a result of recent community-based larval habitat surveillance efforts out in Ifakara, Tanzania (near Morogoro) through geo-spatial hot spot analysis. I also proposed to teach a few basic seminars in statistics and epidemiology because there's a strong need for quantitative methodology over there. Where are you thinking about working?

Nrrrdgrrrl Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! I can now stop checking the forum and my email, and go on with my day Not me...I feel like this is a trick to get us to stop worrying. Really though, it's all a massive plot by the Fulbright committee... In reality, they'll announce it when we least expect it... zjlb79 1

Horb Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 I'm now terrified. My dreaming must come to an end at some point I suppose.
overworkedta Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 I hope it is Tuesday and I hope I find out post-office hours rather than mid-office hours.

Did your FPA mention why they were sending out notices later than expected? If it is indeed Tuesday, then they would be breaking their 5 year-streak of Thursday/Friday notices. I somehow feel there is a lot going on behind the scenes that we are clueless on.
jonplus Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 Can anyone corroborate Islavic12's post regarding her FPA claiming that notification emails would be sent on Tues 1/28 after 5:00pm?

There has to be something going on. If there's a 20% chance that notifications fall on Monday - Friday in a given year, the fact that notifications have fallen on a Thursday or Friday for the past 5 years gives that a p-value of .01, which is definitely scientifically significant!

Secret_Ninja Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 Well someone from Brooklyn just searched for me on Google and found my Academia.edu profile... Every little thing makes me wonder. Z4Zebra 1
