schmokay Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Do all SSA applicants find out at the same time ?! So glad to know there are more out there ! which country ? South Africa.. you? it seems like they all notify within a two week period from the spreadsheet.. but who knows! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TotheBalkans Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 RRachel1, yes I was just emailed this morning! I suppose that it is pretty late in the game compared to most countries, but Montenegro usually notifies in late April. I didn't expect to hear anything at all until then, so-- while the email was surprising-- it's nice to know that someone is actually looking at my application!

Photogeographic Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 South Africa.. you? it seems like they all notify within a two week period from the spreadsheet.. but who knows!

potatopower12 Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 (edited) I'm hoping that Canada replies early like several of the countries so far. However, their website specifically states I'll hear back early April. Edited March 24, 2015 by whaynes2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least you won't have to stress over whether you'll be notified early! Yeah, Moldova usually notifies in mid-late April also. I've been hoping for an early notification, but I don't think that it is in the cards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teachlovemusic Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Has anyone applying for the Balkans (Serbia, Macedonia, Croatia, etc) been contacted about an interview? I was under the impression that those countries usually didn't interview, but the embassy just emailed me. I applied for an ETA in Macedonia. I was also under the impression that they don't interview, and I haven't been contacted for one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been hoping for an early notification, but I don't think that it is in the cards. It's so hard to stop hoping! I haven't started refreshing my email yet, but I know it won't be too long before I give in (even though I know it's irrational). Hang in there! I applied for an ETA in Macedonia. I was also under the impression that they don't interview, and I haven't been contacted for one. Thanks for the info! It's also nice to hear from a fellow-Balkans applicant-- good luck!!

Netherbright Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Hi all! Long-time lurker, first time poster. I was informed a couple hours ago that I was selected for a Netherlands research grant! This forum has been great for me to stay sane. Good luck to those who haven't heard, and congrats to those who have heard good things so far! cml471, RosyPosy68, TotheBalkans and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sabrinamichelle Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 also a SSA applicant and super anxious for notifications to begin! Kenya ! yeah I think you're right a lot of them were notified on the 21st ! I'm SSA too. Applying for research grant to Ghana. At this point I don't think I can handle waiting anymore. I'm driving myself crazy! I can't imagine waiting like this for another month! Is that how you all are feeling? I'm just going to pretend I didn't get it and try to move on with my life....

RadiationTurnip Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 I've been lurking on this forum, and just found out I won a research Fulbright to Israel. I had transcript issues that delayed my notification. Good luck to everyone still waiting, and thanks to those of you who kept things updated as we collectively tried not to develop an ulcer.
