Thanks so much! I got the schorlarship. Your advices were really helpful (I'm from Mexico). Basically, in my case the interviewers wanted to check that everything in the statements were in accordance with the candidate's profile. They asked me why I chose my careeer, future plans after graduating, 1 important challenge in my country of residence, and to briefly describe why my career is important to the development of Mexico. Again, thanks for this video! Surely it will continue being helpful to other future Fulbrighters!

But the summary was definitely a good idea, as I was nervous and these notes helped me 2-3 times. As for the additional questions, they asked me what university I'd like to study at, and what subjects I want to study there. But overall, the questions were absolutely the same as in the video.

Bey Sarah thank you for your feedback! Good question... Although outstanding achievements in academia would be better to brag about, I would say tell whatever will “sell” you better. For example, if you are applying for an engineer degree, talking about raising 3 kids as a single parent probably won’t help much, but for something like early childhood development or counseling can be a win. Use something that can be concluded as “this is my the greatest achievement and this is The experience that made ME The best candidate for your program”.

@fulbrighterfromukraine3013

Although, I’ve been thinking about your question and you know, if you can explain how even the example with kids impacted your life and career in engineering (didn’t give up, want to show other women that they can also rock in STEM majors no matter what stereotypes say) - why not? So the main tip is - whatever “sells” you better!

You can improve language in few month/a year but not always you can improve your academic and professional experience in a year. So it doesn’t make sense to disqualify you forever because of your English 😁 I hope you have more luck this year ❤️

Thanks so much. Do you know the approximate rate of people from the interviews, that get accepted? In my case, I adjusted my study objective since I applied. I switched the priorities between two fields of research, making me specialize in something else while also visiting classes in what I originally planned. Should I be open about this? On one hand, I have good reasons for that change. On the other hand my application is only 2 months old an I don't want to have them doubt my overall determination in my study objective.

Depends on the country. In Ukraine we took it after Fulbright interview and before the university applications. Some countries require you to have a TOEFL score before you apply for Fulbright. But definitely you have to take it before university admission.

At which point in time during your application did you do your gre and toefl test? Is it necessary before interviews? I am worried because the appication deadline for my universities is already on about a month and interviews are still in a few weeks. The preselection also isn't out yet.

What is incidentals? Fulbright pays you at minimum wage level in the region, usually that’s enough. It’s always a good idea to bring some money for the first week until you set up your bank account. Sometimes you have to pay rent for the first month out of your own pocket so I’d say bring $$ for rent + $300-500 for food and transport. But you will get that reimbursed almost right away.

I will have an interview next Monday for teachers do you what r the questions?

Hello, how are you? Thank you for you tips. They really helped me prepare myself for the interview and, fortunately, everything went great at the time of doing the interview. Almost 60% of the questions they asked me, were question that they also ask you. The other 40% of questions were based on my work experience, my professional career and plans for the future, especially after finishing the master's program. I have a question regarding the status of your visa: after finishing your program, did you go from J1 to J2? As your husband's dependent until he finished his PhD program? Was it necessary for you to leave the USA to make the change of status?

Do you get to pick the university you will attend, or does the Fulbright committee tell you where you will be going?

@fulbrighterfromukraine3013

Both. You write a list of universities you want to study at. Fulbright reviews it and suggested their list - in my case it didn’t include any of my preferences. You can argue with them but in that case you may have lower chances to get admitted and funded. Fulbright usually picks universities where they think you’ll have better chances and they can afford.

Hello Dear.. I was shortlisted in Fulbright Sch Application, and yesterday I had an interview virtually (over zoom). My interview was around 5 minutes, and I spoke too fast and was too precise.
