aheather Posted January 18, 2017 Posted January 18, 2017 Hey everyone! Created a gradcafe account just so I could share in the anxiety if you were thinking you had it bad with timezones-- I'm in Europe right now!

Expand Oh my gosh, that sounds agonizing. I even just emailed my poor advisor to ask if she can confirm whether or not we'll hear today... Only about another hour and a half until we should know! I just don't get why they wait until 5pm?! Sigh....

Expand I email my advisor all the time for everything (the last email had the subject line "a question, not neurotic this time, I promise") but for some reason I feel bad pestering her about today's anxiety? I feel like she'd have told me herself if she thought I should know that today's the day, and the fact that she hasn't said anything is because she wants me to be calm and yet here I am.....

Expand Honestly, I bet they're used to it. I just feel bad if I didn't get it, lol. I feel like that puts her in an awkward position... also some advisors may refrain from letting us know the date because they're worried we'll nag them about the results
RajPatel Posted January 18, 2017 Posted January 18, 2017 I also created an account just to chime in. I've been stalking the Reddit post and this thread since yesterday. Even had a dream last night that I won the Fulbright! Then I woke up disappointed because I still have no idea...
sam89 Posted January 18, 2017 Posted January 18, 2017 I feel like I get anxious as every hour comes around... For some reason I have it in my head that they'll email at the start of a new hour and not in the middle...

smith323232 Posted January 18, 2017 Posted January 18, 2017 Approved! But I bumped into my advisor and they told me because they thought I already knew... But the official notices should come out at 5pm. So you can stop refreshing your email every 2 mins till then lol. Best of luck everyone! Jess2323 1

aheather Posted January 18, 2017 Posted January 18, 2017 What's everyone's Plan B? If Fulbright doesn't work out (I hope it does, but still! in the interest of remembering there's a life outside of hitting "refresh" on gmail!), what are you excited to do with your time?

Expand I'm applying to a lot of jobs! Honestly, I'm not 100% sure which I would choose. If I'm offered a job in a position that I like, then I might accept it and withdraw from consideration from the Fulbright.

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. ?? Expand i haven't even tried antunes in portuguese yet tbh - sticking to authors that generally pay attention to grammar/narrative for the moment while i'm learning... lol. Let me know when you hear back!

Expand I'm applying to a PhD program. 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. sat0ri, cardinalowl and daishahistory 3
