strawberrykat Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 I got the email that I am a semi-finalist for a study grant in the UK. 110% was expecting flat out rejection. Best of luck to everyone else! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kml2018 Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Congrats to everyone who was named a semi-finalist! Keep us posted on how things go from here! It was a no on my end for a study grant (MSc Public and Environmental Health Sciences) to the University of Birmingham (UK), but the good news is I was accepted to the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine last week, so not being named a semi-finalist for the Fulbright actually makes my decision so much easier! I hope that everyone else who didn't get it this year is able to find a silver lining Photogeographic and Samye23 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loujoelou Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Hey everyone, I don't know if any of you would know this but I've been wondering. Does anyone know what the youngest or some of the younger Fulbrighter ages have been? I'm curious because I'm 19/graduating senior and got notified today that I am a semifinalist for Australia.

I applied for a program with the Fondazione Giovanni e Francesca Falcone in Palermo, so even though it's technically research it doesn't take up one of the open study/research spots. I hope we both end up in Palermo! What's your topic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sending you all good vibes and good thoughts. I went to Iceland last month.

I think I saw somewhere that they normally pick about double the number of finalist spots to move forward, so I'm guessing about 20? Not entirely sure though! I'd love to know the statistics!

I can't imagine they're only picking 2 semifinalists for the partnerships. Last year, I know there were at least four semi finalists for the one open research award in Ireland. It probably depends on the country/number of applications. mostlyrainy and strawberrykat 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another France ETA semi-finalist here would love if you or @whale_shark would post if you hear anything about France's procedures for selecting finalists. I've been searching like crazy to see if they're one of the countries that do interviews and to find out how many semi-finalists they typically get, but I haven't found much besides that Fulbright typically picks 1.5x-2x as many semi-finalists as there are awards I also just wanted to share this spreadsheet that I found while lurking on the 2017-2018 forum: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1AlU2xDiiVhQjK3quPy6qXJuhgXYghzzG8L4YNT0unX0/edit?usp=sharing It would be great if we all pooled our notifications so people can now how the process is moving along! Second Edit: Turns out you have to request access to edit the above spreadsheet, so I copied the info to a fully public spreadsheet we can use! https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1YYWlybVsD-bXPOerZlJsDh4NZapiFVMsjObMQTMUU6c/edit?usp=sharing Edited January 28, 2018 by Monsieur Vénus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
