I am sorry to read this Intaglio6. I haven't received anything yet, I probably live farther away from New York than you. I am feeling very pessimistic about my chance and I feel I probably will be named an alternate as well if not outright rejected. Sigh. I'll stop whining.

holahnyoung Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 On 4/17/2010 at 9:44 PM, travelingattorney said: I was a Poland alternate for about three weeks before being moved to principal status five days ago. Congratulations on that! Very happy for you ? Â On 4/17/2010 at 1:05 AM, espana2010 said: Well said rach2010, I couldn't agree with you more! I was quite shocked by holahnyoung's audacious comment and would like to remind him/ her that the Fulbright Program managers are well aware of this forum (as stated in an earlier post) and I suggest that this board should be reserved for positive and encouraging posts. Please don't "remind me" that program managers are reading this forum. It's my decision to share what I want with this forum and whether they read it or not is not my concern. I agree that this forum should be reserved for positivity and encouragement but it's also a place to exchange different ideas. I admit I phrased my point harshly and I do apologize if anyone took it personally. But I stand by my idea that funds should be mainly distributed for projects and scholars. To be frank, I don't know understand why the State Department and host countries does distribute allowances for spouses however small it may be. Even taking into account that Fulbright applicants are coming from different stages of their life. As an alternate, I know that my words are going to be filtered through my status but this is what I stand by. If you disagree with what I have to say, it doesn't matter because I'm sure the next application cycle is still going to support spousal stipends. I'm merely trying to make a point.

pomchem Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 So does each country have three alternates? (I'm assuming ranked in some way) Or does the number of alternates vary based on the total number of grants? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfiftyfive Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 (edited) idk i think like everything else it depends on the country, and it depends on # of applicants in that final round. (?) Edited April 19, 2010 by sfiftyfive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edie Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 oh me too, especially because cara said the letters for india began going out on thursday. today could be the day! It could! I am a dork and looked up how long it takes from a letter to get from NY to my address. Unfortunately, what I found was rather vague, 2-7 days, but that looked like the standard time for most locations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
