sairam94 Posted March 21, 2016 Posted March 21, 2016 Quick question: how do we book our flights? Do we have to book our flights and then we get reimbursed later on or does our country's commission help us book the flights?
sat0ri Posted March 21, 2016 Posted March 21, 2016 @sairam94 IIRC earlier in this thread someone said they reimburse you but there is a limit

Some commissions send awardees electronic tickets, and others reimburse in host country
PepperoniCow Posted March 21, 2016 Posted March 21, 2016 Hi everyone! Happy Monday! Hopefully we start to hear back. I think I've placed a world record on email refresh. I was wondering--could anyone offer any insight about their interview. Mine was about 16 minutes long, and I'm worried that means I didn't have a good interview. I know worrying won't help, but any insight (especially from people who had interviews and got the Fulbright) would be great! Thanks always awesome peeps! 2014_FSU_Seminole and SoundandVision 2

I was an alternate last year! Fingers crossed that more people find out today! Dostoprimechatel'nosti, PepperoniCow, Photogeographic and 1 other 4

I'm still holding out hope that I might be selected this year... I've heard that there are several people that turn down the scholarship every year. And congratulations... I wish you all the best!!

Expand For sure! Alternates do become finalists! You are on a very short list and, while this news stings (and I remember vividly), you should nonetheless be very proud of yourself.

Thanks for your encouragement and it goes for you as well, there are more good things coming our way. We got as far as semi-finalist out of more than 10,000 applications, which means we have to have some kind of smarts right? Everything will be fine. After having a good cry i'm ready to move on from this. Up next,figuring out how to pay for grad school haha.
