Shabiwamba Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 Did someone for Taiwan get accepted? (According to the spreadsheet) No, I don't believe so, or at least I haven't received any information.
taiwantroubadour Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 No, I don't believe so, or at least I haven't received any information. i haven't heard anything for taiwan either...hmmm what's with that single taiwan eta marked as accepted on the spreadsheet? gradcafe terrorist? georgesand, rockrmoose, Xiaobai and 1 other 3 1
lostpilot Posted April 1, 2015 Posted April 1, 2015 Waiting on Malaysia! Surprised there's not more chatter on here for Malaysia for how relatively large the pool is.
rockrmoose Posted April 1, 2015 Posted April 1, 2015 (edited) My prediction is that Taiwan will notify either this week or sometime next week according to past notification dates...but then again the ETA program has expanded...from 47 to 73 spots...so maybe they'll notify later....ahh this is driving me nuts! I always get asked each day whether I've heard back yet! Whether its my mom, housemates, professors, coworkers, friends...sigh, the anxiety >.< Edited April 1, 2015 by rockrmoose

caroe Posted April 1, 2015 Posted April 1, 2015 Hey! I'm applying to Tajikistan! I am hoping for earlier notifications, because my interviewer said they were sending their rankings to DC around late February. So, basically all that is left is the Fulbright board certification. Except, in the past Tajikistan notifies the last week in April? Basically no idea what is going on/taking so long. Happy to see another Central Asian applicant though! UGhhh story of my life. Well, best of luck! Caroe, I didn't apply to Central Asia (I applied to Moldova), but I did live in Kazakhstan for two years! It was through the Princeton in Asia Fellowship program, and I hung out with the Fulbright-ers while there. Let me know if you have questions about life there! Cml, it might take a while for Tajikistan possibly due to Visas (which I think might be why it takes so long for Kazakhstan as well). I'm not a representative and am just speaking from my experience there, but just a thought. Hmmm...but we don't apply for visas till the summer, and then we do so through our host institutions I think, so WHY.
taiwantroubadour Posted April 1, 2015 Posted April 1, 2015 yay! congrats korea fulbrighters! party for the rest of us still waiting! 9PM notifications!? dunno if that was from korea or u.s. office working overtime but either way NO TIME IS NOW SAFE! miracle18, tapenalani, rockrmoose and 1 other 4

nsnotable Posted April 1, 2015 Posted April 1, 2015 (edited) yay! congrats korea fulbrighters! party for the rest of us still waiting! 9PM notifications!? dunno if that was from korea or u.s. office working overtime but either way NO TIME IS NOW SAFE! also danmuji & miliek: From the looks of the small email bit shared it must have come from the Korea office rather than IIE? And since it's about 11 am there it would make a little bit of sense! ALSO YAY!!!!! <3 Edited April 1, 2015 by nsnotable

meowsica Posted April 1, 2015 Posted April 1, 2015 (edited) south korea applicant here with no email yet granted i didn't apply for an eta, but i'm very anxious and confused. congratulations to everybody who has heard positive news though Edited April 1, 2015 by meowsica
english1024 Posted April 1, 2015 Posted April 1, 2015 I've been reading all of these posts for weeks now and I can finally say the wait is over for me! Selected for South Korea ETA! Thank you everyone for posting motivating comments and to those of you waiting on notifications, hang in there! I thought I would have to wait at least another week or so and I was happily surprised tonight! Keep moving on from the "check your email every second stage" and you'll be even more excited when the news comes! Congrats to everyone that has received it so far! meowsica, sheeshee and teachlovemusic 3
skwaitinggame Posted April 1, 2015 Posted April 1, 2015 Yay!!! Congratulations to all the newly accepted South Korea teachers and researchers! I also applied for an ETA to South Korea, but I haven't received any notification of acceptance or rejection. I'm shakin in my britches! If I receive any notifications, I will update so anyone who is as nervous as me can get some info. Does anyone know if Fulbright staggers notifications? sheeshee 1
cml471 Posted April 1, 2015 Posted April 1, 2015 (edited) UGhhh story of my life. Well, best of luck! Hmmm...but we don't apply for visas till the summer, and then we do so through our host institutions I think, so WHY. Yeah, I agree with you on the visa thing. We probably won't have to apply until after we are accepted. Maybe the Central Asian republics like to notify together? Edited April 1, 2015 by cml471
catsushi Posted April 1, 2015 Posted April 1, 2015 (edited) Yeah, I agree with you on the visa thing. We probably won't have to apply until after we are accepted. Maybe the Central Asian republics like to notify together? In 2013-14 they changed the visas for Americans a little so that Americans are able to get 5 year visas (tourist), but there seemed to be some kinks to sort out...I remember that even for NGOs related to USAID there were some problems. I just remember talking to someone from the US consulate in KZ and they mentioned some kinds of problems getting the Fulbright-ers over to Kazakhstan. But never mind, you can always ask them yourselves once you are all in Central Asia! Edited April 1, 2015 by catsushi cml471 1
Boomshahkolaka Posted April 1, 2015 Posted April 1, 2015 Congrats to all the new Fulbright recipients!! Meanwhile, the rest of us checking email/this forum daily are like... nsnotable, Damis, cml471 and 5 others 8
