Mine came from the Fulbright Student Program (IIE).  The subject said Fulbright Application Notification.  It didn't have a P, A, or NS in the subject line as people from previous years mention.  Luckily the first sentence said congratulations, so I knew immediately it was good news.

And, again, congratulations!

Interesting. Nikki, did your email subject line give any indication of your status (e.g., P, A, or NS; P in your case), or did you have to open the email to learn your fate?

As always, congrats and condolences to everyone

@sat0ri Nope, the subject line was "Fulbright Application Notification," so I had to open the email, and just like @Soprano714 said, the first line was "Congratulations" following instructions on what I needed to do next. 

Didi you apply for Germany in this round?

Oh ok thanks, I was expecting P/A/NS to be in the subject line so that would have totally freaked me out if there was nothing there.

I applied for the UK open award and I applied to a few schools in the UK hoping to get internal funding if not the Fulbright. However, I have also interviewed with an awesome professor at LMU (Munich) who is willing to support a DAAD application for a 6 month research grant, so Germany is not totally out for me. Fulbright and the respective host institution, however, is by a large margin my top choice.

Research - did you apply to the ETA program? I was actually an ETA in Indonesia immediately after undergrad, it was a fantastic experience!

Yes! I'm graduating in May and applied for the ETA program. Waiting to hear back. This year's notification is later than previous years unfortunately.
