Hi Karolinka:

I'm so glad I found your blog. I, too, applied for a Fulbright my senior year of college and was rejected.  It was an ETA, I went on to get a Master's in Education but have stayed on working at my university for the past 2 years in an administrative post.  I'm looking to apply for another ETA this year to a different country, and would love to talk to you.

I'm worried the odds are against me because I'm not senior in college, nor do I have experience in the country I'm applying to.  But your story gives me hope!  Please e-mail me, I'd really like to talk with you: sherrismooth at gmail dot com.
