Dominican_Republic_Hopeful Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 Hey everyone. Stumbled upon this page in an anxiety-induced for Fulbright notification news. Wanted to share an email I received from my FPA yesterday. She said she spoke with the program officer for Central America, and that news should be shared early next week at the latest. This is pretty shocking considering average notification time since 2008 has been second to third week of April. I think two years ago it hit May 4. I've read through the last few pages here and it appears to be mostly Europe & Eurasia region .. but if anyone else out there is waiting on Central America, hopefully that either helps or increases your anxiety. If it's the latter ... sorry! God, I wonder if this also includes applicants to the Caribbean.
PsychedOut30 Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 Accepted for a fulbright research grant in Hungary!!! So elated!! I'll accept it too hobakpie 1
squidtown Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 Hi all, has anyone tried to log on to the Student Service Portal? When I click 'forgot password' like they say to and type in my email, it just comes back "email address unknown," which makes me nervous! Same. Maybe some temporary technical difficulties? I wasn't sure whether to contact someone or wait a little bit.

I tried searching that on Facebook but got nothing. Any suggestions for other search terms?

I'm so temped to email or tweet them. NOT a good idea. Why not? They've already made their choices anyways. It's not like they'll rescind an offer because someone asked this question. And I figure they're sympathetic to the fact there are a number of people waiting to make plans based on what they have to say. And it's not like you're asking them to tell you your results early.

serendipaceratops Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 @squidtown - hmmm. I made the group closed (not invisible) so you should be able to search for it and find it. if you're having trouble, message me with your facebook name and i'll add you! squidtown 1
squidtown Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 Thats weird because I was able to register.... Actually, I just tried it after waiting an hour and it worked just fine. Either it was a glitch or I'm not a pro with technology. Glad to be on either way!

KB27 Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 Hey guys! I just stumbled upon this a few minutes ago during a frenzied search for any sort of notification day estimates and I have to say, it is nice to know there are so many people who understand the struggle right now. I was recommended for an ETA in Georgia and my FPA has told me that all she could find out about their usual notification dates was that it will probably be sometime between today and May 15th (aka the day before I graduate aka CUE ALL OF THE STRESS CRYING.) I was just wondering if there were any other Georgia hopefuls out there and if you guys had received any better/more specific/less panic inducing info Michael Tal 1

rockermaster Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 Does anyone know if there's an Ireland group? I haven't seen many (any?) other applicants in here, but thought maybe someone's found/heard of one.

And I figure they're sympathetic to the fact there are a number of people waiting to make plans based on what they have to say. And it's not like you're asking them to tell you your results early. There's a reason why this is coordinated via the Fulbright Commission Stateside and not with the host country Commission. Not only are you placing the host country in a weird situation, but if a trend starts of folks e-mailing both IIE and host Commissions it'd inundate them needlessly. You don't want IIE to have to single you out in order to tell you to cease communication with a Commission you probably shouldn't be communicating with anyway. Further, I'm pretty much sure a host country's Commission wouldn't be able to tell you anything different from what IIE tells you anyway. A tweet is different though, as someone else at the Commission is probably tasked with handling social media stuff. I wouldn't e-mail directly.

ajcrvg Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 (edited) Anyone waiting to hear from Malaysia? Yes! Me! I imagine we should hear fairly soon as other SE Asia and other large grant countries have already come out... Or at least that's what I'm hoping. Anyone else on here for Malaysia ETA?
