Mackin Posted April 14, 2015 Posted April 14, 2015 I only sent in an eval for Spanish. Other than that, our apps sound terrifyingly similar. I hope we hear by Friday -- the time crunch is getting real.
abcdefghi123 Posted April 14, 2015 Posted April 14, 2015 I only sent in an eval for Spanish. Other than that, our apps sound terrifyingly similar. I hope we hear by Friday -- the time crunch is getting real. well, it seems like we have to wait until next week to find out. Hopefully, my midterms will occupy my time, so I don't have to think about it as much. Are you planning to be a foreign officer?
mfrost Posted April 14, 2015 Posted April 14, 2015 Definitely not lying and it's too late for me to pull an April Fools trick! I was told that emails will go out next week if all goes according to plan. But maybe things will go even better than according to plan and they'll go out this week. I'm not holding my breath for that though.
zephyri Posted April 14, 2015 Posted April 14, 2015 Email reply from Boren said they might go out towards the end of this week, but could be next week as well. Either way, I think we'll know by next Wednesday.
Chiri12 Posted April 14, 2015 Posted April 14, 2015 I made a phone call earlier to ask. They said next week, but it is up in the air he said. Most likely won't be the end of next week though, but it all depends.
zephyri Posted April 14, 2015 Posted April 14, 2015 Weird, I guess we were communicating with different people at Boren.
Chiri12 Posted April 14, 2015 Posted April 14, 2015 Weird, I guess we were communicating with different people at Boren. It is all a conspiracy. Mind games!! Hopefully your answer is a better one than mine!
zephyri Posted April 14, 2015 Posted April 14, 2015 It is all a conspiracy. Mind games!! Hopefully your answer is a better one than mine! Yes I'm hopeful that the e-mail reply I received this morning is correct- that there's hope we may hear as early as Thursday. Wouldn't that be amazing? Not to have another weekend of no news?
Virchu Posted April 15, 2015 Posted April 15, 2015 I think it's funny how months of waiting went by faster than this last week and these next few days.
Chiri12 Posted April 15, 2015 Posted April 15, 2015 Well at least we know in the next 7 days we will have an answer.
Mackin Posted April 15, 2015 Posted April 15, 2015 Are you planning to be a foreign officer? That's the eventual plan. I want to ride the scholarship train as long as I can, then grad school. What about you? I hope they come out this week so I know whether I should keep looking for jobs or not. I'm so tired of cover letters.
abcdefghi123 Posted April 15, 2015 Posted April 15, 2015 That's the eventual plan. I want to ride the scholarship train as long as I can, then grad school. What about you? I hope they come out this week so I know whether I should keep looking for jobs or not. I'm so tired of cover letters. I want to work in the DOS as well, specifically in WHA/BSC. It's my area of expertise since I lived down there for a little bit. If I receive this scholarship, I will be taking an extra year in my undergrad. If not I will be graduating next year and applying to the Fulbright, then going to grad school and hopefully reapplying for the fellowship (instead of the scholarship). I'm hoping Plan A works out because I have yet to study abroad. I have interned and volunteered abroad (all were fully funded, which made it possible for me to travel outside of the country), but it would be nice to just simply study abroad. This summer I will be a U.S. ambassador in Milan during the world's fair, which is exciting! However, I really want to be in a classroom in order to gain a different perspective as a student.

sapphireblue Posted April 15, 2015 Posted April 15, 2015 Accepted for the scholarship to China for the 2015-16 year!!! Got the email at 1:20pm today. Apologies for lurking and only just posting now, but better late than never, right? Congratulations to the scholarship and fellowship recipients, and good luck to the applicants still waiting to hear back!
musicislife73 Posted April 15, 2015 Posted April 15, 2015 Hi everyone! I've been a lurker since I found this forum after submitting my application in January. Y'all made me stressed Anyway, I was accepted to study Arabic in Jordan next fall on a Boren Scholarship! I originally wanted to get funding for my school's program in Morocco and then a separate program in Jordan in the fall, but they said they would only fund study in one country, so I'm only getting funded in the fall :/ But it's something! I can't even believe it. No one from my school has gotten one in like 10 years. My scholarship advisor was ecstatic. I already filled out the spreadsheet. Best of luck to everyone, and I'll see you in DC!!
Kweli Posted April 15, 2015 Posted April 15, 2015 I was not awarded a fellowship to study Zulu. I kind of feel like my life has been on hold for the past several months. Heart is a bit broken, but now I can get on with it.
