Certain_Entropy Posted January 30, 2010 Posted January 30, 2010 any idea how long India take to notify applicants for grants?
Certain_Entropy Posted January 30, 2010 Posted January 30, 2010 oh and I'm a finalist as well for India! Congrats to everyone else and good luck with round 2!
lale108 Posted January 31, 2010 Posted January 31, 2010 does anyone know which address they will mail the final notifications to? our permanent/home address or school mailing address?
ccaraway Posted January 31, 2010 Posted January 31, 2010 They'll send final notification to your mailing address.
espana2010 Posted January 31, 2010 Posted January 31, 2010 I am a finalist for Spain!!!! Just got my e-mail at 6:30 EST (about 4 and a half hours ago) on Friday. Sooooo excited! Espana2010, what city will you be in if you get the award? I'll be in Madrid. (Mine is a full grant for studying at a particular college in the city.) Hi Sally, a big congrats to you! If I receive the award I will study in Sevilla. I LOVE Andalucia! The country summary page for Spain on the Fulbright website instructed us to attach a translation of our proposals and personal statements online. Perhaps this was a requirement for research grant applicants only? Please keep me informed of your status; best of luck to you!
ucb Posted January 31, 2010 Posted January 31, 2010 Finalist for Oman... anyone else? hi there, i just signed up - am a finalist to oman as well. congratulations. -michael
BMCGirl10 Posted January 31, 2010 Posted January 31, 2010 I wish there was a rank-ordered calendar through which we could see which countries decide in February, which in March, which in April etc. I know it varies from year-to-year but this is frustrating not knowing when notice could be coming over a span of four months.

The country summary page for Spain on the Fulbright website instructed us to attach a translation of our proposals and personal statements online. Perhaps this was a requirement for research grant applicants only? Please keep me informed of your status; best of luck to you! Aha, I just looked at the country summary page again and saw what you're talking about. I'm applying for the "international mba full grant" and never saw anything that said I needed a Spanish translation. So, it seems like it wasn't required for me! I'm glad, since I either would have had to turn in a paper with a bunch of grammatical mistakes or hire someone to edit it for me! I'll definitely let you know what happens. You can e-mail me if you want: sallyatiemadrid@gmail.com That's an e-mail I made specifically for posting on message boards!
Sally Posted January 31, 2010 Posted January 31, 2010 (edited) I wish there was a rank-ordered calendar through which we could see which countries decide in February, which in March, which in April etc. I know it varies from year-to-year but this is frustrating not knowing when notice could be coming over a span of four months. We should start a Google spreadsheet where we list out all the countries and people can say when they got their notification. That way at least next year's applicants can have a reference! Update: Actually, I just came across this thread about 2009-10 fulbright awards. Lots of people posted there when they got their final notifications. It seems like the vast majority were in April or May. The earliest seemed to be toward the end of March. You can read all 58 pages of the discussion for yourself here!

knownothing Posted January 31, 2010 Posted January 31, 2010 Finalist for a Research Fulbright to Nepal here! I'm sooo excited/terrified. But yeah I think getting a more formal list going would be awesome.

The trouble is that even within those pages there are references to people who posted on March 12th for instance but say that their friend got a Fulbright acceptance in the mail weeks ago which would put that acceptance in late-February. But I do think you're right, most of the acceptances come in March/April. But I think your Google spreadsheet idea would be awesome! How would we go about starting that?

Here we go: http://tiny.cc/fulbrightdates We just have to remind people to fill it out! Anyone can edit that file; so hopefully no mean person decides to go in and delete everything... I will make copies of it periodically and save it to my desktop to safeguard against that!

mig Posted February 1, 2010 Posted February 1, 2010 Hey guys, I decided to make a facebook group for those of us who made it to the next round. It's called "Fulbright U.S Student Program for 2010-2011: Recommended for a grant!" Please join! And congrats to everyone!
nicho Posted February 1, 2010 Posted February 1, 2010 Hi all, I'm a finalist for an ETA to India--so excited!
mosquito0016 Posted February 1, 2010 Posted February 1, 2010 I'm a finalist for research in Germany! After waiting all weekend for my email and spending a lot of time on the phone today with IIE, I have finally had them resend me a copy of the missing notification (no explanation as to why, of course). This weekend was probably the most stressful of my life, not knowing whether or not I had been passed on. Congrats to everyone else who made it! I'm surprised and lucky to be among you.
Ahab Posted February 2, 2010 Posted February 2, 2010 Finalist for ETA in Taiwan. I'm so excited! This wait is going to test the limits of my self-control.

zymurgist Posted February 3, 2010 Posted February 3, 2010 I am a finalist for research in Germany as well! Congrats. What is your field? What university are you hoping for? Did you get a letter of affiliation? Sorry so many questions! Halloo fellow candidates! I too am a full grant finalist for Germany. Congrats to all who have made the cut!
mosquito0016 Posted February 3, 2010 Posted February 3, 2010 Halloo fellow candidates! I too am a full grant finalist for Germany. Congrats to all who have made the cut! Wow there are a lot of German finalists here..
BMCGirl10 Posted February 3, 2010 Posted February 3, 2010 (edited) Germany has a lot of grants so it makes sense. There should be between 140-160 Germany finalists for the Full grant alone. Edited February 3, 2010 by BMCGirl10
Certain_Entropy Posted February 3, 2010 Posted February 3, 2010 Its also fantastic to see a few India finalist here. feel free to pm me, I'm curious to see what you guys/gals are up to.
