The immediate plan B though is to have a baby in the next month - found out I was pregnant after spending months on the Fulbright application. When I asked my advisor/faculty recommenders if I should still apply they were all like "yeah! Babies can get passports!" Haha. Your faculty sounds awesome. That's so fantastic. Congratulations!

sam89 Posted January 18, 2017 Posted January 18, 2017 T-minus 5 minutes (give or take) till we find out... We'll either be crying or celebrating but we'll all get through it! Good luck!

artlesspredilection Posted January 18, 2017 Posted January 18, 2017 The same agony tomorrow would be horrible.

daishahistory Posted January 18, 2017 Posted January 18, 2017 I feel like most notifications are given out this late, so that people aren't able to call them. At least that is how my school deals with big notifications like this. To give you the night to digest the information. Dilemma1 1
moderatedbliss Posted January 18, 2017 Posted January 18, 2017 (edited) According to the Hagakure: The Book of the Samurai, in Feudal Japan, samurai lived as if they were already dead so they wouldn't fear death. (Or at least that's what the movie Ghostdog said) I, too, take this approach. I have accepted Fulbright defeat, and as such, have room only for good news. The only direction is up.

Sarahjk Posted January 18, 2017 Posted January 18, 2017 Same. Same. To everyone's comments about the wait. I'm either going to pass out or combust! I really understand about wanting something sooo badly. I can't even think straight. I'm just like - please, recommend me, please recommend me.....
thepictureisstill Posted January 18, 2017 Posted January 18, 2017 I don't think they're coming today.

Yeah this amount of anxiety is definitely unsustainable if we have to wait until Friday to find out!! 7 minutes ago, daishahistory said: I feel like most notifications are given out this late, so that people aren't able to call them.

I was thinking about this as well...I mean I would personally send it out right as I was running out the door...but that's just me avoiding my responsibilities! lol Well it looks like it will be either tomorrow or the day after tomorrow...or next week... who knows!
iDance Posted January 18, 2017 Posted January 18, 2017 I am going to implode. No news. All I want to do is email my adviser. daishahistory 1
sam89 Posted January 18, 2017 Posted January 18, 2017 Maybe they're watching these threads and just waiting so they can get us completely off guard. iDance and Dilemma1 2

abrakazam Posted January 18, 2017 Posted January 18, 2017 Hey friends. I know it doesn't help any with the agony of waiting, but my Fulbright advisor emailed me today as well saying we'd hear today. Granted, it's getting late, I haven't heard anything, and it's not helping my anxiety any, but thought I'd pass it along. Dilemma1 1
roborobb Posted January 18, 2017 Posted January 18, 2017 I think we just got trolled by all the people who said they were told by their advisors they got recommended.
