CoffeeTime Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 Greetings all! Anyone else "patiently" waiting for the Netherlands notifications? I just made a user account here after days of lurking around. I was sure the confirmation emails from Grad Cafe were the notification! I probably refreshed my gmail browser about 200 times yesterday. Here is hoping that today is the day. Best wishes to everyone in this journey! lightaheadi and beamurray 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AKACaz Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 (edited) Following up on @mckenna81's linking to that WaPo article - this is just tangentially related to the Fulbright, but it's highly important to all of us as students. President Trump's newly-released budget plan calls for totally eliminating federal funding for the National Endowment for the Humanities, the National Endowment for the Arts, Title VI International and Foreign Language Education, the Institute of Museum and Library Services, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (PBS), and the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars, as well as immediately or gradually de-funding many National Park Historic Sites. The Library of Congress, the Smithsonian Institution(s), and the National Archives are among those who may also feel fallout. And it's not just places critical to humanities and social sciences that are on the chopping block - the National Science Foundation and the National Institutes of Health are likely to be affected, alongside major cuts to the Environmental Protection Agency. If you have a few minutes today or this week, call your Representatives and Senators and demand that they don't let any of this happen! Contact details for your reps (searchable by zipcode) are available via house.gov and senate.gov. Voicemails often have a much more noticeable/non-ignorable impact than emails. And while you're at it - why not demand that Fulbright remain intact, too, since State is definitely feeling the heat and who the hell knows what's going to happen next... /end speech Edited March 16, 2017 by AKACaz CoolOwl, hj2012, iDance and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am anxiously waiting (Indonesia ETA semi-finalist as well) I'd love to know today because tomorrow I'm getting on a train to Miami then a flight for Madrid. I don't want to be checking my email whenever I get to the hostel. I wish I had the patience to just let it happen when it happens but I'm anxious. I was a lot more calm about CLS (partially because I was having a great time studying in Ecuador & I didn't really think I should get it) but I feel like the more confidant I am about my qualifications the more nervous I become waiting.

Fingers crossed It just sucks because they are "late" compared to previous years and I just found out my teaching schedule, so I'll need to know if I need to withdraw from that or not.

NatureCulture Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 This is a bit late to be asking, but does anyone know if any research/study applicants to the Netherlands were interviewed?
