jadesg1 Posted March 2, 2015 Posted March 2, 2015 Ahhhh a fellow Jordan ETA finalist!! Hey Good to know I haven't been the only one basically dying from waiting. I can't even imagine having to wait for the decision twice, so PROPS Yeah, I don't know why I did this to myself. It feels like emotional abuse. Good luck! Hopefully we hear sooner rather than later.

Damis Posted March 2, 2015 Posted March 2, 2015 So, Germany ETA tends to know relatively early right? Good luck, everyone! 2011-2012 Germany ETA here. If I remember correctly we were towards the middle of notification groups. I don't know if ya'll still do the spreadsheet (such joy, such pain), but there were several countries that knew before we did.
ebuchalter1 Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 yes! I have an art related proposal to India... anxiously waiting to hear back lilymasala 1
SMartin11879 Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 So, Germany ETA tends to know relatively early right? Good luck, everyone! Others have been speculating that, since we've heard back earlier from Fulbright than applicants from years prior, we might also here from Germany a bit earlier, too. I am personally hoping we'll hear something around the 20th of this month, but I'm doing my best not to be TOO hopeful. In any case, every time I see an unread email from now until we know makes my heart start pounding. Good luck to you, as well!
Photogeographic Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 yes! I have an art related proposal to India... anxiously waiting to hear back Oh that is so exciting !!! Good luck !! I will be keeping you in my thoughts !
RosyPosy68 Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 yes! I have an art related proposal to India... anxiously waiting to hear back Anyone with an art related proposal ? I really wish I could know about everyone's projects!! Do you guys think there's any danger/disadvantage to sharing our project plans publicly at this point? I've been back and forth about it in my head. I suppose interviews will be over next week, as far as I can tell so far--at least for the UK. What do you all think? I see that almost nobody has shared any details about their proposals, so I'm guessing you've all been thinking about it like I have. What are your opinions about it? (Also, if anyone is just dying to tell someone about their awesome and exciting project, feel free to message me! I LOVE talking research!)
lilymasala Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 yes! I have an art related proposal to India... anxiously waiting to hear back I have an anthropology related proposal to India, nice to see another applicant and best of luck!!
alifbaarbie Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 Day 2 of the madness is upon us... May the odds be ever in your favor taiwantroubadour and lilymasala 2

taiwantroubadour Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 (edited) Hey guys, I need to buy a plane ticket soon to go to a conference in Asia, but if (knock on wood) I get the Fulbright and there is a Taiwan orientation in D.C. it's going to be hella extra expensive to get back to the States if I don't book a roundtrip. (Did that make sense? Well anyway I'm so confused about what continent I'll be on this summer I can't figure it out either.) Anywho there is a list of countries under the orientation with all the dates as TBD on the recommended students' page but Taiwan isn't one of those listed. Does that mean there isn't an orientation? I guess I'll have to buy my tickets assuming I didn't get the scholarship (because to do otherwise would be to jinx the whole thing) but just wondering if anyone had the scoop. Hope somebody hears back today! This forum is actually helping me get through my readings. I don't let myself hit refresh on this or my emails until I read at least one journal article. Procrastimotivation! 加油！ Edited March 3, 2015 by taiwantroubadour

Procrastimotivation! 加油！ Have you looked at Taiwan's country page on the Fulbright website? I don't know which Grant you applied for, but it does not list a PDO as a requirement for the research grant and the ETA section explains that the orientation will begin once you are in country. Hope that helps! http://us.fulbrightonline.org/countries/selectedcountry/taiwan taiwantroubadour 1

medievalist86 Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 Hey everyone - I just got accepted to the UK university I want to use the Fulbright for (University of Exeter)! I asked Maria Mazer (IIE Program Mgr for Europe/Eurasia) if I needed to send my Offer Letter to IIE, since the Fulbright Award is conditional upon university acceptance, and she had me forward it to her, saying she'll forward it to the UK Fulbright Commission. Just wanted to let you all know in case you've been accepted at your respective universities - sending the offer letter might better our chances of getting the Fulbright! Good luck to us al!!! lilymasala 1
jadesg1 Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 Dear Diary, It is now day two of the supposed "Fulbright Final Notification" period... I haven't slept well in two weeks. Waiting... *jeopardy music begins playing* lilymasala, taiwantroubadour, viggosloof28 and 1 other 4

Major, Major congrats!!!!! I remember feeling like waiting for Fulbright overshadowed the excitement I felt about being accepted into my dream MSc program-- But why?! It's a huge deal! We got into GRAD SCHOOL! **happy dance** Cheers, and best of luck in the rest of this waiting game! On another note, I haven't sent my offer letter to IIE, and now I'm thinking maybe I should/should've. I got my offer the day before my interview, so I did mention it to them. Now I am thinking that, perhaps, I should send it to Maria Mazer as well. Did you speak with Jeana for your interview? She's the one I told-- I emailed her that morning. medievalist86 1

Thank you Rosy - getting that "Offer Letter" email made me exceedingly happy! Congrats to you too, btw! I would send her the letter anyway, just to be safe. You never know! I never got an interview invite, so I'm hoping that just means that my application alone was enough to portray my awesomeness. LOL I love that this thread exists and that we don't have to go through this waiting period alone!

joy25 Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 A little Dr. Suess life synopsis for us all: … The Waiting Place……for people just waiting. Waiting for a train to go or a bus to come, or a plane to go or the mail to come, or the rain to go or the phone to ring, or the snow to snow or waiting around for a Yes or a No or waiting for their hair to grow. We are just waiting. jadesg1, RosyPosy68, viggosloof28 and 2 others 5
chethedoctor Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 Medievalist, Could you please,if you may, elaborate more on the relationship between admission and selection? I was under the impression that admission to a program conferred no advantage.
netheobwich Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 Hi!! This is so exciting! No I have not met one other person applying to Moldova. Yes, I submitted and was recommended. Are you applying for research or ETA? i applied for research and was recommended. currently playing the waiting game like everyone else. this whole process is literally nail-biting. taiwantroubadour 1
