Sadly, I haven't exactly had the time to start learning Czech with everything going on. Have you? Fingers crossed for us both! Haha no I have not. Hopefully, we both will have a reason to soon! ?

I keep trying to tell myself it's normal haha, that hardly anyone here would've had the opportunity to learn Czech before now and that once (if) we get the ETA then we have several months to get some basic language under our belts. That's what I hope anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been driving myself crazy the past week or so having not heard any news about an interview invitation (and also compulsively checking spam filters to ensure I didn't miss anything!) and watching the days slowly creep by...now that some countries' applicants seem to be hearing back, has anyone from the UK still not been invited to interview? The award I applied for is literally brand new this year, so I'm wondering if that might have something to do with the relative radio silence about communicating with a semi-finalist for this specific award. Best of luck to everyone, by the way, and congrats to those starting to hear back! Hey there! I am in a very similar situation regarding my UK partnership award to UCL. I only know of one other person applying to the same university who also has not heard back about an interview. So I think there very well could be a few more of us who they still have not gotten to. It's possible the UK is being delayed. Also, there have been some posts here and in the 2016-17 Fulbright forum if you care to search back about someone's FPA saying that the UK occasionally does not interview candidates that go on to win because their application is strong enough. I hope this gives you at least something to go off of...I am still checking my spam filters very regularly!! Cheers elbarton 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
