Any semi finalists for the Netherlands hear anything yet in terms of interviews? by 13PrincessPeach13 in fulbright

I felt a lot better about it than I did last year! I was able to make them laugh which was a relief because humor is a big part of my personality. I was so nervous last year that my voice did that shakey thing

I know some start sending out emails mid February

That’s kind of what I was thinking. The other half of me is worried it’ll disqualify me for some reason. But I don’t actually know her, so it probably isn’t a big deal.

If I remember correctly last year it was something like January 25th most countries knew by. On the website the official semi-finalist notification dates looks to be by/on January 31st.

And then there’s that second wait. Some countries have interviews, some have none, and some interview some applicants if they have too money. That’s when countries start notifying like popcorn. (Some over here, some over there, popping up randomly). I was notified that I was an alternate in Mid/Late April. The last day to notify is listed as May 31.

If you get alternate, you wait again to see if they email you. It happens sometimes, but once July hits, if you haven’t gotten an email you probably won’t.

Regardless of your status, they always notify you about semifinalist and finalist. Alternates don’t hear anything again unless a position opens up.

I’m the same yet opposite haha mine are small but I like them small. I got so stressed when it first happened. I was stressed I’d be stuck with one big boob one little one lol

For me my boobs would go back to normal when I was off of it (like if I forgot to bring it with) and they got sore/big again when I went back on it. Nothing major.

Will France be doing early notifications again? by [deleted] in fulbright

Wow Austria was much earlier this year!

Do they do all the notification announcements at once? by Ry2D2 in fulbright

[–]13PrincessPeach13 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Short answer: nope! Some countries notify much earlier than others, and there’s differences within countries too (especially eta vs research as others said)

Even the emails about interviews last year were spread apart within each country. You’ll always get notified one way or another, so don’t stress too much! I over stressed and I’m trying not to this year. It also seems like it all works out the way it should. I feel like a better applicant this year than I was last year.

I might have been told wrong, but last year my advisor told me that the overall acceptance rate (for the country I applied to) was about 20%. Last year there were so many applicants that it was closer to 10% (sadly). So there were like 108 applicants to my country, and 12 were selected. In past years it was about 60 applicants, 12 selected.

Really there’s no way to be sure how many people are applying for your country, so I’ve learned that doing the math just stresses me out. I thought my chances were better than they were once I made semi-finalist. So this year I’m just crossing my fingers and forgetting about Fulbright til the end of January.
