overworkedta Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 Not recommended. Congrats to everyone who is moving forward.
PrincetonOrBust Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 "I regret to inform you that your application is not among those recommended for further consideration." Dang. Really got my hopes up this time.
Nrrrdgrrrl Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 I got recommended! Omg. I can't believe this happening. yay!!!!! YOU ROCK!
Beingbecoming Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 For those that are not getting to the next round, this is my third time applying. As an undergrad I made it to the final round and then was rejected. As a masters student I did not make it past the first round. As a Ph.D. candidate, I'm now recommended for the final round. spainbound15 and Z4Zebra 2
Discordant_Aesthete Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 I am pleased to inform you that the National Screening Committee of the Institute of International Education (IIE) has recommended you for a grant under the Fulbright U.S. Student Program for the academic year 2014-15. Your application has been forwarded to the supervising agency abroad for final review. In addition, your application will be forwarded to the program sponsor, the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs of the United States Department of State, for transmittal to the presidentially-appointed J.

By the way, I'm also musicology (Stony Brook), but applying for Germany, not France. Good luck!
FulbrightBrazilPlease! Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 My e-mail is there, but I can't open it. I'm seriously so nervous.

Even if I don't make it as a finalist, this looks great on my CV and I can be a mentor for future Fulbright applicants. I am SO sorry for all of you who did not make it through this round. If you want to apply again next year, feel free to message me for advice. I mentor undergraduates on applications like this all the time. Hopefully I can be of some help. Congratulations Secret_Ninja! I'm going to check my email when I get out of work in a few minutes. Here's to hoping that we get to go to Indonesia together.

Oliebollen Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 (edited) Got the email at 5:36pm: Not recommended. Subject line is "Your Fulbright Application." There are some really neat projects in here. Best of luck to you all! ETA: One thing working against me was applying for Beijing, which is discouraged since everybody applies for Beijing & Shanghai. Not sure if I'll re-apply with this project, since it can only be done in Beijing... Edited January 28, 2014 by Oliebollen
Anahid Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 I'm so sorry I haven't received an e-mail yet and my office doesn't know I applied for a Fulbright. I'm currently stuck in a conference room listening to a couple banter about trivial things. I want to scream into a pillow.
Beingbecoming Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 Congratulations! By the way, I'm also musicology (Stony Brook), but applying for Germany, not France. Good luck! Really? I gave a paper there a few years back... do i know you?
Guest Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 Congrats to everyone who got through! And hugs to everyone else who didn't.
al7571 Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 Time has never gone SO SLOWLY. Still waiting on an email. This is excruciating. For those that were not recommended, thanks for sharing, and best of luck. Your support and presence on this thread has been so appreciated, I really mean it.
charmaine1 Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 Recommended!! Yay....I can now stop having a heart attack.
Raechel Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 What do the rejected emails look like? The National Screening Committee of the Institute of International Education has completed its work and has recommended candidates for the 2014-15 academic year. I regret to inform you that your application is not among those recommended for further consideration. Unfortunately, it is not possible to accommodate all students who would like to participate in the Fulbright U.S. Student Program. I want to assure you that the application review is very thorough and that screening committees carefully weigh individual qualifications for research, study or teaching abroad. It is not our policy to discuss the reasons for this outcome. As is often the case in the Fulbright U.S. Student Program, the number of well-qualified applicants this year exceeded the number of awards available and the limited opportunities for placement abroad. Over 10,000 applicants competed for about 1,900 grants. Etc.
tieloran Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 Oh my god. Recommended the second year in a row.
Nrrrdgrrrl Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 not recommended. My egotistical side is surprised, but my brain says keep on trucking. Congrats to those who made it to the next round!

Over 10,000 applicants competed for about 1,900 grants. Please do not contact IIE to inquire about your individual application. If you decide to reapply in the future, our Program Staff will be happy to advise you on the application process and provide general information about the program or country to which you are applying. I know that this decision will be disappointing to you. However, please note that the decision in no way prejudices your chances for participation in the Fulbright Program in another academic year. Each year's selection process is separate and distinct. If you wish to apply again for a Fulbright award, your application will be considered, as before, solely on the basis of eligibility requirements and the merits of your proposal. We appreciate your interest in the Fulbright U.S. Student Program and hope that you will find another opportunity to study or conduct research abroad. Sincerely yours, Daniel Kramer Director, U.S. Student Programs Please do not reply to this email. The mailbox is not monitored.
