I'm also waiting nervously like everyone else. is that eastern time>

Study grant at Birmingham! Good luck to everyone else applying (both in the UK and wherever else in the world)! You all must be incredibly bright and talented to even have applied, so I have no doubt that Fulbright, or not, we will all be doing great things. Looking forward to seeing some happy people on this thread in a few hours!

I had a dream about Fulbright last night too! They sent everyone who applied a congratulations, but the acceptance was to some random program and they did it on accident. So, I thought I got in but actually it was a mistake. Kind of a bad dream...
ibette Posted January 26, 2018 Posted January 26, 2018 Hi everyone, current Fulbrighter here. I am quite surprised you guys haven't heard from Fulbright yet on your semi-final status. Last year we got it on January 18th, not sure if the government shutdown had something to do with it or things are just running later than usual. Good luck to all of you and I hope you get to hear from them soon! kerralyne and Lexi57 2
ayasofaya Posted January 26, 2018 Posted January 26, 2018 I got the "The status is coming today" email from my FPA a few minutes ago. I'm DYING with every notification. (My power company decides to announce a new and improved website TODAY? REALLY?) My FPA's email did have a notably jovial tone to it, which seems unlikely if she knows I got rejected....hmmm....perhaps I'm thinking too much into it...... whale_shark 1

It's nice that so many of your FPAs notify you! I have a fine relationship with my FPA, but I think so few people at my university apply that they don't bother to send out an email like that. My guess is maybe 2-3 people from my school applied this round. But we did have two winners last year! Edited January 26, 2018 by kerralyne

From my perspective, if your FPA only has 2-3 people to keep up with, they should be calling you on your cell phone lol. Extra personal attention. Taking y'all out for coffee.... thepictureisstill 1

The Fulbright program here is sort of juggled by the director of the Honors College (whom I have a close and "coffee date"-esque relationship with) and then the official FPA, who is a professor in the History department that I just met last fall. The FPA didn't closely mentor me or any other applicant, as far as I know. He often replied to my emails several days late or missed them completely. I think I only got to meet him once. The application process did feel a little lonesome because of the distance the FPA kept.

The application process did feel a little lonesome because of the distance the FPA kept. That is exactly how my school is set up. Almost identical! I went to school in North Carolina and graduated in the fall. I haven't heard anything from him yet. I keep taking that as not a good thing. I feel like he would have just told me or called me. Oh well, if we don't find out tonight, I am going to die. I might just go to his office and confront him! Jk Best of luck! Hope to hear soon!
kerralyne Posted January 26, 2018 Posted January 26, 2018 Hey guys, I just got my email (4:57 EST). Unfortunately, I wasn't recommended--it was for an open study in CA. Maybe next year!

necesitouncafecito Posted January 26, 2018 Posted January 26, 2018 I also just received a rejection I wish the rest of you the best of luck!
millicent.fen Posted January 26, 2018 Posted January 26, 2018 Also just got a reject - Open Research applicant to Israel
millicent.fen Posted January 26, 2018 Posted January 26, 2018 Maybe only the rejections went out? Keep hoping, not-yet-notified people. Good luck!
mostlyrainy Posted January 26, 2018 Posted January 26, 2018 Has anyone from the U.K. been notified? I'm sat down in the middle of Target trying to take some deep breaths
