Long long process. Be patient.
The first step was to submit the application through my university followed by university interview. When the university decides to recommend you to fulbright they then submitted to Fulbright (October). Next step... WAIT. I waited 3 months to hear I'd been recommended by the US to the country, then another 3-4 months to hear I'd been awarded the grant. Total process started in August and I was informed I received the grant late March.
Next was a full orientation in DC in the summer, and the grant commenced in January. Talk about a long time coming...
Envié una solicitud electrónica. Acudí a una entrevista en Fulbright Association (Hanói) en mar 2015
Entrevista
I moved on to the final round and got an interview for an ETA in Vietnam. Unfortunately, the internet connection was not great. It kept cutting off and I was worrying about what I was saying and how it was coming across. Questions were pretty general, such as what you have to offer, etc. It was a short interview.
Solicité el puesto a través de la escuela superior o la universidad. El proceso duró 2 días. Acudí a una entrevista en Fulbright Association (Waco, TX) en oct 2013
Entrevista
The application was essay heavy and also required several letters of recommendation. Fulbright obviously cares a lot about your communication skills. I had two interviews, the first was fairly informal and one-on-one, the second with three on-campus Fulbright representatives and more formal. I am sure that the interview process varies from school to school, however, and Waco, Texas is probably one of the more laid-back regions of the country.
