Oliebollen Posted April 24, 2015 Author Posted April 24, 2015 (edited) Just got the (P) for China! I'm completely floored. Just created a group, let's all connect on Facebook! Edited April 24, 2015 by Oliebollen nsnotable, Nightingalesing, taiwantroubadour and 2 others 5
UrFadaIm Posted April 25, 2015 Posted April 25, 2015 Rising from the shadows as a (P) for Taiwan ETA. To all the NS and Alternates, keep your head up. After months of countless rejections from other programs, I can comfortably say keep knocking and eventually a door will open. nsnotable and rockrmoose 2
rockrmoose Posted April 25, 2015 Posted April 25, 2015 (edited) Does anyone know how many alternates there are in a given pool? I was thinking maybe 50% is (P), 25%is (A), and 25% is (NS). Or there could be less alternate and more non selects? Just want to know my chances here... :/ Edited April 25, 2015 by rockrmoose
nsnotable Posted April 25, 2015 Posted April 25, 2015 YES!!! Congrats to all the (P)s. Welcome to the Fulbright fold. To all the NS & A folks: You are wonderful and as said above, one door closes another one opens! <3 Don't lose hope and be proud of the work you did to get here. Oliebollen 1
tspier2 Posted April 25, 2015 Posted April 25, 2015 If you were an Alternate this year, do not despair! I was an A last year and replied this year, ultimately to be selected as a P. GOOD LUCK!! teachlovemusic, Oliebollen and jadesg1 3
jadesg1 Posted April 25, 2015 Posted April 25, 2015 Just got the notification from Fulbright for Macau ETA: alternate. Majorly bummed, so if anyone is a principal and doesn't want/can't go, please let them know ASAP! Sorry to hear you're bummed! If you're set on teaching in Macau, I recently saw a posting on Idealist.org for English teachers. While teaching certification is a plus, it's not a requirement. Here's a link to one of the listings I saw: http://www.idealist.org/view/job/WP9g3jDxCbJd/
Rjh10c Posted April 26, 2015 Posted April 26, 2015 Hi all, question for the Taiwan ETA people. When you log on to the IIE FB pre-grantee portal does Taiwan ETA show up under program? Right now, nothing shows up under program, country, or any of the other headers. I'm just worried about not being able to submit the documents in an orderly or timely manner. Congratulations to all the (P). Good luck to all the alternates And keep your head up and keep trying to all of you who didn't make it this year. I was rejected from 2 major fellowships before receiving Fulbright! Just keeping working to improve yourself each day! Oliebollen 1

Under the "Programs" tab, at the bottom, next to "Participant ID" it shows up as Taiwan for "Location Country." There is nothing under "Country of Nomination." When you click on your participant ID, you should be redirected to a page to upload documents. Hope that helps.

They are also using a new system so there's some glitches. I, for example, didn't show up for a while; my suggestion is if you don't see yourself in a few days email the program manager! They'll direct you toward IT.

Did you also get a Fulbright? If so, you could always ask Rochester to defer your admission for a year.
CMNO15 Posted April 27, 2015 Posted April 27, 2015 Have any other SSA primary candidates received the grant authorization document? It has been 11 days since I received the notification email but still no grant authorization document so I was just wondering if this was common or if I need to follow up with somebody. Thanks! Jrk2115: I'm a (P) for an ETA to South Africa and I haven't received the grant authorization document yet!
albca Posted April 27, 2015 Posted April 27, 2015 Did you also get a Fulbright? If so, you could always ask Rochester to defer your admission for a year. The MSF from RIT is actually the offer Fulbright gave me as a principal candidate. But I still haven't accepted yet because I haven't heard anything about this programs reputation (i didnt list it in the preferred unis section of the application).

Hm, it might be best, then, to ask about the school in particular in a different section of the forum related to accounting/finance/economics. You will probably get a quicker response from more people already in similar programs.
lalalabirds001 Posted April 27, 2015 Posted April 27, 2015 Have there been any (A)s that have gotten P for research? When I looked over the spreadsheet it looked like there were far more As who got bumped up for ETAs than for research. Also, is there any way to see if the other Ps have already accepted the grant? I'm treating my A as a hopeful no but I'm trying to figure out if I should drop that hopeful part...
Titania31 Posted April 27, 2015 Posted April 27, 2015 Hello people, I'm a selected candidate for Colombia ETA Program. I was notified on March 20 - really happy and excited. Thing is, I still haven't got medical clearance and I submitted the medical history and examination form on March 26. Anybody else in the same boat? I haven't got the Grant Authorization Form yet either, but I understand that I have to get medical clearance first. I'm getting nervous. Six weeks are up Wednesday! Kpriv 1
nsnotable Posted April 27, 2015 Posted April 27, 2015 (edited) Hi Titania31! I can't quote on my computer at the moment but in regards to your question - the six week was deadline for you as a pre-grantee to submit the paperwork not for the DoS to approve them. The cogs of government work slowly in this regard so I wouldn't be too worried if you haven't heard from them yet. If there was an issue you probably would have gotten an email or phone call already, so no news so far is good news! I submitted mine the week after you and still have not heard anything either. Hope this helps! Edited April 27, 2015 by nsnotable
nsnotable Posted April 27, 2015 Posted April 27, 2015 (edited) Also on an entirely different note: Have any grantees to the East-Asia Pacific region gotten an email from IIE (or the DoS) regarding the US orientation in June yet? Edited April 27, 2015 by nsnotable
jadesg1 Posted April 28, 2015 Posted April 28, 2015 Update: I called Jermaine Jones today regarding Jordan grants. ..... no helpful information. Sorry everyone. I tried. Boomshahkolaka, rockrmoose, Photogeographic and 1 other 4
chelsie Posted April 28, 2015 Posted April 28, 2015 Finally heard back from Spain ETA. I was not selected, but congrats to all who were! Best wishes to those still waiting. Onward! Photogeographic 1
aquarialily Posted April 28, 2015 Posted April 28, 2015 Finally got my grant letter and terms of conditions etc. for Taiwan research. Geez. So much info. I'm a little bummed that it seems like we can't stay abroad to travel after the length of the grant though. Anyone know if there are exceptions to this rule? Why is this the case?
Photogeographic Posted April 28, 2015 Posted April 28, 2015 Update: I called Jermaine Jones today regarding Jordan grants. ..... no helpful information. Sorry everyone. I tried. Did he happen to confirm that Kenya didn't give out any grants this year by chance ?..
jadesg1 Posted April 28, 2015 Posted April 28, 2015 Did he happen to confirm that Kenya didn't give out any grants this year by chance ?.. Nope. Like I said... nothing helpful... ha.
Photogeographic Posted April 28, 2015 Posted April 28, 2015 Nope. Like I said... nothing helpful... ha. Bummer. I hope Jordan is announced soon !
