The email specifies "You will receive additional information on your award shortly from the Institute of International Education (IIE) Advising Team." I emailed my school's Fulbright advisor to see what she says, but hopefully by "shortly" they really do mean that and not another months-long wait.. ?

Polskateacher Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 I caved and made an account. I'm a semifinalist for a Spanish ETA and the wait is absolutely killing me. I want to know so I can start planning as I have a Polish work visa that's valid till next year. xani 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fulbrighthrowaway Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 Hi all, I got a Fulbright grant for this year, but am having some apprehension regarding the medical forms. Seven years ago, I was medicated for depression and attended CBT once a week. In the spring of 2012 (so six years ago), I successfully ended CBT and medication and haven't been depressed since. Will this adversely affect my candidacy? Anyone with any knowledge/insights (especially from current/former Fulbrighters) would be most welcome.

I obviously don't know the official answer to this, but my on campus fulbright contact told me that the medical forms were primarily just to assess that you were physically capable of doing the work / grant. It would be terribly inappropriate if anyone were to disqualify a candidate because of something like that in their medical history. Also, it was quite a long time ago at this point, so I would imagine you're fine. Edited March 29, 2018 by cotterw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would recommend searching the fulbright reddit page in regard to the medical forms. I recall a few people commenting on medical issues, including mental health related conditions, that had been treated or were currently being treated and didn't have any problems being accepted. As long as your physician recommends you and reports that you're currently in a stable condition (either with or without medication or treatment) you should be good.

I'm a current fulbright grantee, just popping in to say that mental and/or physical conditions, especially past ones, definitely won't disqualify you unless there's a serious concern about you currently needing (expensive) medical assistance while abroad--I have a moderately severe physical disability myself, and in my case my acceptance on a medical basis was declared 'conditional' on the grounds that I would not need more extensive assistive technology while in the UK. But several other people in my cohort have various physical and/or mental conditions as well, and none of us had any problems with our candidacy being confirmed. ellevine 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, Current fulbrighter with a condition very similar to your own and was in treatment when I filled out the medical form. It will in no way affect your candidacy. Because I was in CBT at the time of filling out the medical form, I submitted a letter from my therapist confirming that my condition in no way affected my ability to conduct research and live on my own for nine months. But since you haven't been in treatment for six years, I'm guessing you will not have to do this. Hope this helps! ellevine 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SarahsSeoulSearch Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 I just referred to my old application for part of an essay and accidentally opened a new application for 2019-2020 ... and Fulbright sent me an email with the headline "Fulbright Application...". Nearly had a heart attack. >< >< >< It was just an automatic notification about the new application I had just submitted. China always notifies people really late in the year... Usually late April or early May, with the earliest notification date being April 6th last year, but I don't expect them to have them out so quickly this year. I can't deal with this gut wrenching feeling every time I hear a pop in my inbox for another month!!! Any other China hopefuls out there? Some commiseration would be much appreciated.
