Dostoprimechatel'nosti Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 Ha, funny timing--I got it! Accepted as an ETA Turkey ETA notifications have been sent out! Guess I'm living abroad next year! Got the Turkey ETA!! Congratulations! So exciting!
waiting279 Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 so um,... I'm very cautious to mention this... The professor who wrote my affiliation letter has sued his school for not extending his professorship... (One is to retire at 65, renewal possible up to age 70. I just found out he was born in 1950.) I desperately want to study music in Germany. Is that too much to dream? Please send me anyway...! Yipes -- what a nightmare! I do hope things work out for you. Toi toi toi! Stopthat 1
Stopthat Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 I don't know whom to inquire (the professor, the school, U.S. FFSB, IIE, or Germany Fulbright, or seek another affiliate?), or whether I should just keep my mouth shut and wait for a notification. I hope the Fulbright committee approaches me with options rather than just declining...!
TotheBalkans Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 Congratulations to all the Turkey folks! Bekleyenadam, I guess your name was lucky-- and no longer true! Congrats! spidy 1
Chris1 Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 (edited) I had dream that Fulbright wanted to verify some my information, but whenever I tried to pick up the paper it all melted away and I couldn't see the number, so I tried e-mailing them instead my computer became all floppy like a piece of paper and I couldn't type! Gotta love anxiety! Edited March 19, 2015 by Chris1
Rie Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 I have been a lurker for quite some time now and decided it is about time to make an account. Everyone....I AM GOING TO GERMANY!!!!!!!!!!! I would love to create a facebook group with everyone that is going. Message me so we can make this happen ;-) virmundi 1
alifbaarbie Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 Greece notifications have gone out.... (A)--- Someone change their mind...Now lol.
Hungry4Hungary Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 Hello. Long time lurker, first time poster. I've appreciated reading your thoughts and experiences. It's nice to know that there are people out there just as anxious as I am I am a recommended Fulbright applicant for research in Hungary. As I become more anxious about the results, I notice that I'm constantly looking at the spreadsheet, analyzing it probably more than is necessary. One pattern I found relates to the days of the week that notifications are sent. For Hungary, notifications have been sent on Monday, Friday, Wednesday, Friday, Monday (in that order since 2010). Is it too assumptive or hopeful for me to trust this pattern and anticipate an email on Friday (tomorrow)?
deeceecee88 Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 Didn't get Turkey ETA this year. But will be back in the applicant pool again. CONGRATS to everyone hearing and being accepted. Enjoy the experience!

My general impression this year is that if there ever was a pattern, it doesn't seem to be applicable this year for any of the countries! For example, the UK has notified 3rd Tuesday of the month for 5 years....and now it's Thursday! Plus, a whole bunch of other countries that were notified much later last year have already been notified this year. It all seems like a toss up! Good luck! One of my mentors did the ETA to Hungary back in the day and it changed his whole life!
Seraphaun Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 (edited) I think I've spent more time reading this forum then I have working on my honors thesis. I'm starting to get desperate, there're deadlines approaching! Edited March 19, 2015 by Seraphaun tapenalani and taiwantroubadour 2
tapenalani Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 I think I've spent more time reading this forum then I have working on my honors thesis. I'm starting to get desperate, there're deadlines approaching! Same here! My defense is early April too so its kinda starting to get urgent. Yikes!!! C'mon Korea I need to get work done!
buendia914 Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 Gasping for breath. Got the Fulbright ETA to Turkey!! This is gonna be an uphill battle with my parents....
potatopower12 Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 I'm so jealous about all of these notifications! Canada, historically, doesn't tell people their status till mid-April. It's so hard to wait!
Boomshahkolaka Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 I don't know how much longer I can wait for Jordan to send out notifications. rockrmoose 1
Photogeographic Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 Any other Sub-Saharan Africa applicants have any guesses when they might be find out ?
jadesg1 Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 I don't know how much longer I can wait for Jordan to send out notifications. ME EITHER. I can't focus on anything.
Boomshahkolaka Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 ME EITHER. I can't focus on anything. You would think planning/hosting a work event for 100+ people next week would take my mind off of Fulbright but nope. Here I am, refreshing my inbox and this forum simultaneously.

I'm supposed to be finding wine right now for the event but I just wanna find wine for myself. cLeveLand88 1

So much cheaper than buying it from a vendor.
kyl19 Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 ME EITHER. I can't focus on anything. Same here, I really need to crank out my thesis in this last month before I graduate, but the only thing on my mind is that email!!!! C'mon Taiwan... maybe next week?? rockrmoose 1
RosyPosy68 Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 If I knew any of you lived near me, I would definitely suggest an "anxiously-waiting meetup" to go have a drink and good food and talk about our projects. The rule: you can't refresh your email...AT ALL. (But only because it would be after 5 pm and, come on, someone has to force us not to be ridiculous, right?) taiwantroubadour 1
