I was in the first round of people that received a tentative acceptance e-mail. Wondering if I should send them an e-mail, or work on my patience? I am in the Japan group and they just sent notification asking for passport info and that they're sending our info to JSPS. There was a time limit on the travel plan email, I would contact them since the pre-departure meeting is coming up. With tickets going up...I got the impression from the travel agent that they have a limit on how much they can spend. TonyClifton 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got a phone call from Elena regarding my EAPSI proposal today. I didn't get accepted for Japan, instead they offer me to send an update proposal with my alternate-choice host location (Taiwan). They only give me one week to seek a new host in Taiwan and edit my project description. Hope they will respond to your request soon. Good luck! ecuaqueso and TonyClifton 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TonyClifton Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Still haven't heard back about Japan. I've pretty much lost hope at this point, but it's probably too late to find an internship now. I wish I could have made alternate plans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stewy Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 I am also waiting for China. I just read all 5 pages here - seems like there was an initial burst of acceptances, then nothing! Is it related to sample bias, or the actions of the NSF? Think they will respond this week? Or did they mean the first "Whole Week" in march, which is next week?

GBinAZ Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 For all you China folks: I just got my tentative offer, so keep your eyes peeled and good luck! TonyClifton 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She said my proposal couldn't get funded for Japan but they offered an updated proposal for Taiwan as well. I e-mailed them my updated information yesterday morning and have yet to hear back. Have you heard anything from them after that phone call? TonyClifton 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrIblis Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 Congratulations to everyone thus far! I can't wait to meet you guys in DC!

cotterw Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 So it looks like we've only got one NZ acceptance that has posted on this thread? I'm still waiting to hear back on mine, just curious if anyone else heard about NZ last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecuaqueso Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 I just got my official "your proposal will not be recommended" email for Japan. Disappointing to be sure but at least I know! Should probably have followed my gut and applied to China or Taiwan for better odds, but nothing to be done now except cry over a beer and accept the alternative summer job that was waiting on me. Good luck to everyone who is still waiting to hear and those who are already accepted! TonyClifton and iCki3Tina 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
