BenWLol Posted January 18, 2017 Posted January 18, 2017 Welp, either way I'm flying out to Vegas tonight so I can celebrate if its good and not dwell if it's bad. Good luck, y'all - I know how much work each and every one of you put into your applications. As my academic adviser told me: "It's really f***ing hard to convince someone to give you tens of thousands of dollars*" Mossy.artist, thepictureisstill and Horb 3
sam89 Posted January 18, 2017 Posted January 18, 2017 Good luck to all! Now the real countdown begins...
ryanwinston Posted January 18, 2017 Posted January 18, 2017 So what's the general consensus here, that we're going to hear something towards the end of the day?

I think around 4-5pm. Last year it came out around then. Although I think the year before it came out around 1pm.

I plan to curl up in an anxiety ball between 1 and 3 (I have a meeting with my boss from 3-4) and then from 4-5.30pm. If we hear nothing today for some reason, I plan to self-combust. Go out with a bang, I say! My guess would be 4:05pm, because why not?
Horb Posted January 18, 2017 Posted January 18, 2017 Does anyone know why it takes so long to release results?

Some countries email you ahead of time (I'm not sure they are supposed to, but idk). Switzerland, for example, requires an additional application section if you make it through the first round.
moderatedbliss Posted January 18, 2017 Posted January 18, 2017 I'm out data on my phone and I'll be playing basketball when the info arrives. Going to be awkwardly asking 16 year-olds if I can "borrow their phone to check something" every 15 minutes. lia.md and Photogeographic 2

artlesspredilection Posted January 18, 2017 Posted January 18, 2017 Based on the Google Doc, it seems like some people are already getting notifications!

This one? https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1AlU2xDiiVhQjK3quPy6qXJuhgXYghzzG8L4YNT0unX0/edit#gid=929221519 It looks like just Malaysia and Finland which I heard have an additional application or something? But they were notified by their host country

I have friend in the Lisbon and Oporto areas. I want study José Saramago's cultural influences. I love his work. And continue to a series of fabulist stories set in Portugal. And a novel in the vain of Twain's, a Connecticut Yankee...., but of course a Bostonian in Lisbon. Are you studying or working? moderatedbliss 1
CoolOwl Posted January 18, 2017 Posted January 18, 2017 (edited) In a moment of serenity in what is to be a ~completely anxious~ afternoon, I realized that our love for research and the disciplines we're apart of will carry us far beyond today's outcome. The work we all want to do, regardless of whether or not we can through Fulbright, is necessary and important. Especially now! Best of luck y'all, I'm sending positivity!

I'm working / teaching myself Portuguese part-time while waiting for my citizenship application to process... That's rad! Part of the reason I came is because I want to translate Lusitanian lit in the future. Saramago is great, but António Lobo Antunes is my favorite. Sarahjk 1

It's in Portuguese, so it's a slow read for me. I'm taking Portuguese lessons with a tutor. I'd love to hear about your translation path. How great would be to have this literature convo over coffee in Lisbon? Here's to hoping your timely response is an auspicious omen. ?? moderatedbliss 1

I guess that means less waiting for whoever goes to level 2! I can't wait!?
ryanwinston Posted January 18, 2017 Posted January 18, 2017 So I just read an email from my campus representative that helped me fill out my application. She said I'm considered! I guess they get notice before the applicants do? Good luck to everyone else! describeblue and Photogeographic 2
