I'm just basing it on the research I've done on Google (ha!). I assume it would be in English, although perhaps they also test your foreign language capabilities (based on what you put in your proposal). I have searched on google and cannot find anything about the Luxembourg Fulbright process. I also just spoke to someone from the Fulbright commission but they were unable to give me a clear answer. I was told that it should be listed under the country description on the Fulbright website as to whether the country requires an interview; however, interviews were not listed for Luxembourg. I hope we are notified soon so I can be put out of my misery cag321 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For reference, this is what I found online (after serious sleuthing, lol!) that made me believe there will be an interview: https://www.flickr.com/photos/fulbrightbelgium/36426308054/ (zoom in on the second column in the photo). It says the Fulbright Commission in Brussels, but I believe this encompasses both Belgium/Luxembourg grants... But who knows ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Really hope we hear soon!

I get the feeling that your school has a strong input on who gets the Fulbright (it's my guess that if the school is trying to promote a certain department, they will lobby fulbright to select a candidate from that program, given there is an application for it and it is high quality.... could just be my own personal conspiracy though). Which school did you apply for? Have you been admitted? I am going to London School of Economics -- was already admitted last year but deferred. According to the statistics, LSE seems to have the most fulbright applicants 1/60ish two years ago and 1/48 before that. Noticed some UK schools only have 4-5 applicants. I applied for Sheffield, which is a bit more competitive than some in the UK but not compared to LSE (kudos for that!), and yes, I have been admitted I think your theory makes sense - I guess what caught my interest in the email I got was that this prof was only shown 5 applications (all from different departments). I'm wondering if that means only 5 people applied to Sheffield this year. Seems like a small enough number for everyone to be a semifinalist, unless I just have no idea how things work. Which is a distinct possibility! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am thrilled to hear such great news and hope you all will also hear something soon! Whether or not you get it, just remember that it's an honor to simply apply! You'll end up right where you're supposed to be. Keep in mind that life has a funny way of surprising us and giving us opportunities when we least expect them. Best of luck!!!

thepictureisstill Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 (edited) So interesting that FPAs communicate with you guys--- maybe Michigan is too big of a school but I don't hear a peep from them outside of a generic email in early January with the 30th info! I hope we all receive great news. Friendly reminder that Fulbright is super competitive and the status of a proposal has NO bearing on your self worth. Many of us will have to apply multiple times to get to a semi-finalist round, and many more to get the award. You are smart! And resilient! And your ideas are worth pursuing. I say this as an artist and we get lots (LOOOOOOOTS) of "No Thank You's" every month.

I literally just made an account to "like" this post - I applied for a research grant last year to Guatemala and got the rejection email, but no one actually went because they didn't get funding, so try not to take it hard!!!

We do not personally announce to applicants. We are notified just a hair in advance so that we can prepare to be supportive for those who may not advance, primarily. Also to start planning mock-interviews, getting recent country interview advice from colleagues, etc." cotko, heretofulbright and iDance 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leannajoy Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Hi! I've been following this feed for the past week--I think my anxiety just signed up for an account for me so that I could find comfort in participating haha. I applied for a research/study Fulbright in Israel. Good luck everyone!! If you're like me then you'll definitely be popping a melatonin tonight. rayodeluna, heretofulbright, La noche boca arriba and 1 other 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savay Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 (edited) I was on my way to a RPDR All Stars viewing party because I, like probably all of us, needed something to take my mind of off this thing -- and then as I was getting on the bus I severely sprained my ankle. So now I'm at home, with frozen vegetables for company, and nothing but time to anxiously google fulbrighter blogs and incessantly check embark/email/the spreadsheet. tomorrow will get here soon, I hope Edited January 26, 2018 by savay Loujoelou, Okonkwo, La noche boca arriba and 3 others 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
