kp_jabalí Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Also just received the email- selected for ETA to Spain! Now for you other Spain ETAers, when/how do we find out if we're going to Madrid or Cantabria? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kafcat Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Hey all! Just found out that I was not selected for the Spain ETA. I'm still sort of letting it sink in....but that's life, I guess! There's always the future. More chances to apply, other things to apply for...we'll see! Best of luck to everyone who is still in the running! Hey there, I just read this. I'm so sorry to hear about this...but as someone said earlier...your positive attitude will take you far, so don't give up!!!!!!!!!!!!! We support you here!

Okay thanks, I hope we find out soon! Madrid and Cantabria are like night and day so I am definitely still curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cocoa_cookie Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Muchas felicidades a ustedes dos. ¡Que alegria! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- On another note, Fellow waegukins, if USA.J is right, then it in only a few minutes more. I'm dying and increasingly convinced I didn't get it. Good luck to all and congratualitions to those that get good news. GE I HAVE BEEN INCESSANTLY REFRESHING MY EMAIL SINCE!!!! WTH?

Okay thanks, I hope we find out soon! Madrid and Cantabria are like night and day so I am definitely still curious. I don;t know much about Cantabria..but the nice thing about it is that it has a nice beach..and since im from SoCal it would feel a little bit like home. I'm fine with either place but I think I'd prefer Cantabria because it's not as expensive as Madrid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And congrats to the happy people who also got it, good luck to the alternates, and condolences to those who weren't accepted (I know the feel). Good luck to everyone else still awaiting decisions or hoping to be removed from the alternate list. I ain't leaving this thread, even though I've heard.

It happens, but another opportunity will no doubt come your way. Echoing everyone else on this forum, just being nominated is a great honor and it means that your application was super strong. If you have your heart set on teaching English in Spain my friend did one in Galicia and really loved it. She was paid 700 euros a month with free housing. I'm not sure the name of the program but I guess you can Google something along those lines. I remember the application was due sometime in May.

Congratulations to those who were accepted today! Condolences to those who weren't—I hope you will remember to be kind yourselves over the weekend. Yeloquehay, as many have already pointed out, the fact that you were recommended at all paired with your ability to take this in stride and move forward with a good attitude makes your success in other endeavors seem inevitable. It may be too soon to ask, but do you think you will apply again? Nuerovivor, japaniia, and kp_jabalí, it's a such a welcome vicarious pleasure to hear your exciting news!

ETA- what about you? & what is your area of research ? I am so excited, I haven't spoken to any other India candidates! Glad to hear from other India applicants. I'm hoping to conduct research on the history of African American Jazz musicians that moved to India in the 1920s-1940s to escape segregation in the USA, as well as the impact of the US State Dept jazz tours to India during the Cold War of 1950s and 60s.
