Could be any day now!!! Hoping everyone gets good news :-) I'm a semi-finalist for an ETA position in Colombia. 

Hi, me too!  Did you request any place in particular to be placed?

No! To be honest, I didn't know that was an option, but I'm not too sure I'd know where to go otherwise. Did you request somewhere?

I mentioned Manizales, but who knows.  I've never been there.  Good luck!

I am not sure if this is useful information, but the transcript services that my universities send me an email if the electronic transcripts I sent have been opened.  I received an email from each service that the transcripts had been received, but nothing from Fulbright.  I assume that if anyone else has heard nothing that their transcripts have also been received.

It says in the original semifinalist email that they won't email you if they receive it and ONLY if they didn't receive it

When did you send out your transcripts?

I called their offices on the day of the transcripts deadline, and the woman I talked to let me know that Fulbright will only reach out if your transcripts have not been received. She also said that any holds up in this process are not cause for disqualification.

I sent mine electronically 4-5 days before the deadline.  My universities' transcript offices emailed me that they both arrived and were opened a day or two before the deadline.

Hey everyone,

I was expecting to hear from the UK regarding Skype interviews for a study program in early February and did not receive anything. At this point I guess no interview is coming - is that a bad sign? Does everyone from the UK get interviews or is it on a university by university basis?

Hi all! Just found this forum and I'm so glad I did!!! Been freaking out on my own over here!

I'm a semi-finalist for a research Fulbright in Ireland (any others out there??)...hoping notifications come in soon, but I combed through the Fulbright forum from last year, and seems like folks didn't start getting selection notifications from Ireland until early April. Will I survive until then?!!?

I did, however, also see in said forum that notifications had gone out in March in previous years. Crossing my fingers.......

Hey! I am a semifinalist for the UK and was also not offered a Skype interview. I think it varies from school to school and based on if the UK committee has questions about your proposal.

You can find all the historical final notification dates, this year's applicants, and a chat thread in this spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Cd86U9AreH9k_-WKLKnLCLn_C5MC3FKvZZ9RhlqSAq4/edit#gid=2001832949

Feel free to add yourself to this year's tab!

Semi-finalist to the Dominican Republic for Research/Study. If anyone else is here for the D.R., past or present, lmk! :)

Not semi-finalist to the Dominican Republic (semi-finalist Germany), but was in the Peace Corps there. So I'm interested in what you're planning on doing =).

Thanks for doing that! Someone also made a slack chat. I'm sticking with that for now since I can access from my laptop rather than my phone.

I was the one that made the Slack chat, just in case anyone wants verification that it was made by someone from here and not one of the trolls that were vandalizing the spreadsheet.

Edit: An invitation link, in case ewhipple's link doesn't work for non-members,

You don't have to use the app, you can just do it online. Go to #general on the left side-bar to get started.
