Wagwan Posted January 12, 2010 Posted January 12, 2010 Is there a specific date that we find out whether or not we make it to the second round?
Bossebra Posted January 12, 2010 Posted January 12, 2010 Is there a specific date that we find out whether or not we make it to the second round? I believe that we will recieve an email on or around January 31st.
The Wandering Raven Posted January 17, 2010 Posted January 17, 2010 Applied for a research FB to Turkey - I'm finishing my master's in urban planning, and hope to study urbanism, mapping and tourism there. Just a few weeks to hear the preliminary, but it's driving me crazy! I am applying for an ETA in Turkey, and the wait is killing me too! What exactly was your proposal and what's your affiliation?
ccaraway Posted January 23, 2010 Posted January 23, 2010 9 more days. This wait is killing me! I don't know whether I should keep my hopes up or just put it all behind me.
theurbanmapper Posted January 24, 2010 Posted January 24, 2010 I am applying for an ETA in Turkey, and the wait is killing me too! What exactly was your proposal and what's your affiliation? Applied to Istanbul, affiliating with Istanbul Technical University. I proposed a variant on my Master's Project: having tourists draw maps of the city, learning about a city network analysis technique called Space Syntax, and studying the city's City of Culture 2010 celebrations. Fingers crossed!
Fingers Crossed Posted January 24, 2010 Posted January 24, 2010 Hey Guys, I applied for a Study Research to Germany and im tired of waiting this thing out. Good luck to all of yall! Anyone apply to specific universities?
Intaglio6 Posted January 25, 2010 Posted January 25, 2010 Hey Guys, I applied for a Study Research to Germany and im tired of waiting this thing out. Good luck to all of yall! Anyone apply to specific universities? Only one more week now. From reading last year's thread, I think the wait gets much more anxious after hearing the preliminary results. Good luck to everyone who applied.
espana2010 Posted January 26, 2010 Posted January 26, 2010 Hi everyone, I applied for a research grant to Spain. The anxiety is killing me!
der Träumer Posted January 26, 2010 Posted January 26, 2010 gah! I just need to know...it's ruining my week!
cremebrulee Posted January 26, 2010 Posted January 26, 2010 IIE says they will notify us January 31...but that is a Sunday (as I am sure you all have noticed). Anyone think there is any chance it will be Friday instead?

Anyone think there is any chance it will be Friday instead? This was posted on a facebook message board today: All Fulbright U.S. Student applicants will receive an email on January 30 advising them of their recommended or not recommended status. The online application system will be re-opened for U.S. Fulbright Program Advisers the day before the applicant emails are sent to give advisers a heads up on their students' status. Advisers will receive an email in advance of when the system is re-opened to view students' status. Best, Office of Academic Exchange Programs Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs United States Department of State I wonder if the January 30th date was a typo? Either way our advisers will know the day before we do.
sarahndipitious Posted January 27, 2010 Posted January 27, 2010 Interesting! I found a copy of last year's 'not recommended' email from last year -- sent 1.30 The National Screening Committee of the Institute of International Education has completed its work and has recommended candidates for the 2009-2010 academic year. I regret to inform you that your application is not among those recommended for further consideration. Unfortunately, it is not possible to accommodate all the students who would like to participate in the Fulbright Program. I want to assure you that the application review is very thorough and that screening committees carefully weigh individual qualifications for research or study abroad. It is not our policy to disclose the reasons for an applicant's denial. As is often the case in the U.S. Fulbright Student Program, the number of well-qualified applicants this year exceeded the number of awards available and the limited opportunities for placement abroad. Approximately 7,300 applicants competed for about 1,500 grants. I know that this decision will be disappointing to you. However, please note that the decision in no way prejudices your chances for participation in the Fulbright Program at a future date. Each year's selection process is separate and distinct. If you wish to apply again for a Fulbright award, your application will be considered, as before, solely on the basis of eligibility requirements and the merits of your proposal. We appreciate your interest in the Fulbright Program and hope that you will find another opportunity to study or conduct research abroad. Sincerely yours, Theresa Granza, Director, U.S. Student Programs and this encouraging post. Waaaaiting is the hardest part... Hang in there, everyone! (Indonesia ETA applicant here.)
efc79 Posted January 27, 2010 Posted January 27, 2010 The 'recommended' emails were sent out on the 30th last year as well - so I guess Saturday it is!

cremebrulee Posted January 27, 2010 Posted January 27, 2010 Perhaps, though the 30th would have been a Friday last year, which is why I was thinking the pattern might be the last Friday in January, rather than January 30. We shall see...
Intaglio6 Posted January 27, 2010 Posted January 27, 2010 Perhaps, though the 30th would have been a Friday last year, which is why I was thinking the pattern might be the last Friday in January, rather than January 30. We shall see... I hate this point in an application process. Stressing out about dates and converting from year to year. When I was applying to grad schools, I had to use a sick day at work on the official 'notification date' for one of my programs because I knew I'd be too anxious to get anything done. I frantically refreshed the online application portal every 5 minutes hoping for an update. Now I know that I'll be glued to my email from Friday.
MMM2015 Posted January 27, 2010 Posted January 27, 2010 I sent an e-mail to Walter Jackson, and he said results of round 1 will be e-mailed to us on Friday.
Wagwan Posted January 27, 2010 Posted January 27, 2010 Who is Walter Jackson? Are you a Fulbright Advisor or applicant? Wagwan 1
MMM2015 Posted January 27, 2010 Posted January 27, 2010 Who is Walter Jackson? Are you a Fulbright Advisor or applicant? Walter Jackson is the Program Manager of U.S. Student Programs at the IIE. I am an applicant.
pomchem Posted January 28, 2010 Posted January 28, 2010 Oh man, Friday? That'd be great if that's true. The less waiting the better. It would sure take some stress off for the weekend. Has anyone emailed their campus Fulbright advisor to check dates?
der Träumer Posted January 28, 2010 Posted January 28, 2010 Hmm...so would this mean that our advisers would know tomorrow then, since they are notified a day before we are? Assuming of course that Friday is the day we all get emails.
BMCGirl10 Posted January 28, 2010 Posted January 28, 2010 Does anyone know when the Competition Statistics will be updated? I'd like to know what I'm working against. I know applications to graduate schools have jumped significantly this year but what about Fulbright?

All I know is that our campus advisor mentioned that the applications were supposed to be really high this year...but no specifics. I'd love to know how the stats are for this year as well.
der Träumer Posted January 28, 2010 Posted January 28, 2010 At my school we had 20 people apply this year...in 2008 we only had 3.
Bossebra Posted January 28, 2010 Posted January 28, 2010 My advisor just told me she got an email that said advisors will be able to access the system tomorrow (friday) at 12:30pm Eastern time. So if you haven't gotten an email by then, you can call your advisor to ask. Good luck everyone!
