iDance Posted January 17, 2018 Posted January 17, 2018 If they hold true to last year, today could be the day (it was a Wednesday last year). I think it's wishful thinking to think it'll be today, but still--kind of excited/nervous/nauseated. Good luck all--we've already come so far. Just a little further!

seanjb55 Posted January 17, 2018 Posted January 17, 2018 When the results come in -- does it come through your advisor at your Uni? There's no fulbright page I should be obsessively refreshing, correct?

I also imagine we would receive an email about it. So anxious/excited about this!

Last year the subject line was something like Fulbright U.S. Student Program Application Status.

I'm in my second year of teaching high school English, about to graduate with a M.Ed in policy. Even with teaching experience, I have no idea if this will be enough to be considered for an ETA. This vague waiting time is killer! I had pretty much forgotten about my application until last week, and now the idea of notifications coming out soon has placed it in the forefront of my mind!! I am a teacher, or I guess I should say, I was a teacher before starting my Master's degree last year. I hope it doesn't render me "overqualified" that's been my biggest fear for the ETA program. Eek! I'm applying to Czech Republic.
poindexter Posted January 18, 2018 Posted January 18, 2018 Hi all! I applied for open study/research in the Netherlands. My area of study is automation of tech and its effects on migration and development. Fingers crossed we get decisions soon; I've received an offer of admission from my target institution already. Sure could use the funding Good luck everyone!

chernandez Posted January 18, 2018 Posted January 18, 2018 Ran into my FPA yesterday, she only mentioned receiving the generic "we'll send out notifs by Jan 30" email, still hoping for this week though. By the way, applying for the Rwanda-Research/Study.
graceaco Posted January 18, 2018 Posted January 18, 2018 Anyone else applying to an ETA in the Czech Republic get an email from the Czech Fulbright commission asking to fill out an additional country specific questionnaire? I got an email addressed "dear semi-finalist"... Not sure this means I am a semi-finalist and the Czech commission has decided to send emails out before the US lets us know. Very confusing but I would assume this means the countries already know who has moved forward, so everyone else (hopefully) should know soon too!! savay, mostlyrainy, Photogeographic and 3 others 1 5

I would assume the countries already know -- maybe the Czech Republic jumped the gun, but maybe that means we'll know today or tomorrow! Really hope that means you're officially a semi-finalist, if so congrats! Couldn't imagine getting that email first without confirmation from IIE

If that's the case that we are semi-finalists then yay us!! If we're not semi-finalists then this will feel like a cruel joke. Either way I hope others find out their results soon. jazzyab_45 1

I had no idea we would be asked to add more to our applications at this stage. Perfecting the answers to these questions in a few short days is a lot of pressure.

I am thinking maybe the Czech team was told that they would send out initial notifications on the 18th, so they sent out their emails early because of time zone differences etc?

Fingers crossed it will be followed by all of the other emails later today! This is also exactly what I was thinking! Historically (barring the few late Jan notifications) Fulbright applicants have been notified on January 18/19. Seeing as our applications have already been forwarded to our host countries, it would make intuitive sense (to me, at least) that not only have semi finalist decisions been made, but also that we would receive email notification pretty soon. Of course, there could be a hold up, but this is me being hopefully optimistic!
taymsmi Posted January 18, 2018 Posted January 18, 2018 Is anyone else refreshing their email like an absolute madman? As if it wouldn't automatically notify me when I got an email anyways.... starburst 1
