big_reader Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Hi! My name is Noah. I am an ETA applicant applying to Spain. My grant's purpose is to help special needs children that have been pushed out of public school systems. What is everyone else going for?? My email is CONSTANTLY being refreshed. I don't think I can wait much longer!!!! Congrats to Czech applicants who have already been given big hope for their applications!

mostlyrainy Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Alright, it's almost 5pm on the East Coast. I think I'm coming to terms that it won't be today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I'm coming to terms that it won't be today. I looked at the spreadsheet for last year and it seemed like most people received the email sometime between 5:25 and 5:35pm. So I’ll try to hold out hope for another 15 minutes or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattwigm Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Between refreshing this page and my email I'm going nuts. I keep hoping when I see new posts on here it means maybe more people heard something, but also it's honestly just nice to feel collectively nuts as we all anxiously wait.

iDance Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Alright, elephant in the room: what happens if they don't pass a budget and the government shuts down tomorrow? When will we find out?! I mean, priorities. I have a weird mix of disappointment and relief that it wasn't today. At least my dream is still alive, but I kind of just want to know already.

Oh goodness, I don't think I can process the idea of a shutdown and this waiting period. I tried to think through it in my head and it just got darker. Maybe all the overseas commissions would go rogue and email us like the Czechs. Edited January 19, 2018 by savay Samye23 and iDance 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
necesitouncafecito Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Hi guys! I've been reading this thread a lot and thought I'd jump in. I applied to the ETA program in Colombia. I'm feeling the anxiousness/excitement right along with you guys! Hopefully we will find out some results soon *fingers crossed*. Also, congrats to the Czech applicants! That's so exciting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know this sounds crazy, but that's an oddly large part of my anxiety right now. I just want to know--then the government can have a melt down. The idea that this waiting might go on indefinitely is just terrible. Like come on guys, if you're going to cause a mess at least be a little considerate first.

I feel exactly the same way. I keep saying to my friends that I almost don't even care anymore if my dreams are crushed, I just want to KNOW already - even if it's just a big fat rejection. necesitouncafecito and camazul 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wobbegong Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Hi everyone! While we're all waiting, does anybody know any details about the medical requirements for participation in a Fulbright? You're required to be "in good health" and complete this form. I am wondering if, even if I am awarded a grant, I would be disqualified as a result of a chronic genetic illness I have. This seems directly contrary to their statement on inclusion and diversity, which explicitly mentions disability. Ugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I definitely don't think they would disqualified you, that would be wrong and contrary to what they stand for. I don't think you should worry about it.

The way I understand it, as long as your doctor says you're medically fit to participate, it shouldn't be a problem. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samye23 Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Okay, survey sent!! It was so hard (maybe just for me, but hopefully not) to keep to the 5 sentence maximum. Especially for the lesson plan part, but that could be the teacher in me. I used to have to submit like 30 page lesson plans. I don't know how the rest of y'all Czech semi-finalists are feeling but I'm glad that's over with! Now back to the waiting game (but also I guess we never stopped since the US IIE hasn't told us anything)... Whew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imagata Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 (edited) Sorry to ask but are there any Czech applicants who did not get the semifinalist email? Edited January 19, 2018 by imagata Samye23 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there was atleast one Czech applicant who didn't get the email, they mentioned it over on the Google spreadsheet chat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
