roborobb Posted January 18, 2017 Posted January 18, 2017 I've been following this thread all day. This is the first time I've ever used this site and I feel betrayed by listening to others and not doing the work I should be doing.

CoolOwl Posted January 18, 2017 Posted January 18, 2017 I just reached out to my FPA -- hoping she responds.
Imke Posted January 18, 2017 Posted January 18, 2017 I emailed my advisor this morning and she told me: "I just re-checked the email from IIE, and it says all applicants will be notified by the end of the day on 1/18 – that’s today! So it should be very soon." Idk what "end of day" means any more, though :/ sat0ri 1
roborobb Posted January 18, 2017 Posted January 18, 2017 I have no idea what an FPA is. So my advisor knows but I don't? I don't get this stuff.

lyonessrampant Posted January 18, 2017 Posted January 18, 2017 (edited) Fulbright Program Advisor is the person at your college or university who liaises with the Fulbright program. This is not your academic advisor. If you didn't apply through a school, you don't have one. Edited to add that it doesn't mean you're not as competitive without having one. At-large applicants are often successful. Edited January 18, 2017 by lyonessrampant

kaightconhead Posted January 18, 2017 Posted January 18, 2017 Didn't get recommended :/ I got the grant two years ago so maybe that's it? Good luck to everyone else!
roborobb Posted January 18, 2017 Posted January 18, 2017 All the rejections go in the second round… good at least I know my fate. Time to put my apron back on and work at a fast casual eatery for the rest of my life.
AnnMarie Posted January 18, 2017 Posted January 18, 2017 AHHHH I'M A SEMI FINALIST!!! I might cry. Lol
lyonessrampant Posted January 18, 2017 Posted January 18, 2017 Hold on roborobb! Mine just came through and I'm recommended. Give it a few minutes!

I'm just happy that I have an answer, and honestly I think I am perfectly happy not to go on the Fulbright -- my life is a bit easier in terms of graduate school applications, personal life, etc. Good luck, and I hope you hear back soon
moderatedbliss Posted January 18, 2017 Posted January 18, 2017 afraid that i never even submitted the application. please, just let me hear back.
