geographyrocks Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 I will probably end up applying, but I haven't even read over everything yet since my focus has been on NSF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Munashi Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Well now that NSF is in, time to focus on this guy! Anyone else planning to toss their hat into the ring? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Domino Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 Me! Almost zero chance for the NSF or NDSEG, but figured I might as well apply anyway. At least then my chances are almost zero, as opposed to definitely zero. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poly Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Hi! Is anyone applying to NDSEG with chemistry? My advisor wants me to apply. Any helpful websites or sample essays you guys have found? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Munashi Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Blah, has anyone had success submitting their GRE scores? I had mine sent Oct 31, and they still show as "incomplete". I'm wondering if I did something wrong, but I'm fairly sure I gave them the right registration number and gave ETS the correct code.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Munashi Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Never mind, I figured it out. I had to call ETS to get the registration number for my general scores. The registration number listed online was from the most recent test, which was actually a subject test. Hopefully anyone else having this issue will find this useful.

doctordestiny Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Man, the statement is 3000 characters? So/too short. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashikunta Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 (edited) Would mentoring a college student for a summer research experience program fall under teamwork or leadership? Also, should work experiences in general (industry internships, instructional lab assistant gigs) go under teamwork?

laulipop Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 I recently submitted a first-author article but I haven't heard back from the journal yet. Is there a way I can include this in the Publications section if it's not published or accepted? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warbrain Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Uhh, I like only just now sent my GRE scores, am I screwed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mutualimpedancewaffle Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 How is everyone else including work experiences, like internships? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doomination Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 How is everyone else including work experiences, like internships? all of my internships were research internships, so they went into "research experience" if they were not research oriented, then maybe they should go in group/leadership experience. Uhh, I like only just now sent my GRE scores, am I screwed? I sent mine in the day after you, and my scores were delivered on Dec 3. I'd say you're probably fine. I recently submitted a first-author article but I haven't heard back from the journal yet. Is there a way I can include this in the Publications section if it's not published or accepted? Just make sure to clarify that it is a submitted paper. I have one paper that is being written now, and I included it as "in preparation" - this is common practice afaik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IonChannel Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 So the application requires a reference/supervisor for all the work/research/leadership experiences. Does anyone know if they actually contact these references? Some of these experiences are from several years ago and I don't know even know if that reference is still there, or if they would remember me. Also, for experiences in student-run organizations, does anyone have any advice on what to put down for the "supervisor"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Munashi Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 How are things going, guys? I just submitted my app today. GRE scores and letters are in too. Good luck everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geographyrocks Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 400 character limits are just plain evil. The titles of my research almost take up half of that. Am I doing this wrong? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, for experiences in student-run organizations, does anyone have any advice on what to put down for the "supervisor"? From what I've heard (and read), the answer is no. Could you imagine contacting every person that is listed on these applications? It would just be impossible! As for student-run organizations, you still typically need a faculty sponsor (at least we did at my school). So I listed their name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_intrigue_ Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 the 400 character limits were tough, but the 3000 character limit on the goals statement is driving me nuts. it isn't worth hours of my time just so they have 50 fewer words to read :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pppyppy Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Question: I'm an author on a paper that is currently under review. Is it appropriate to list this under "publications"? If yes, how would I list it? If no, where would be a good place to mention it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_intrigue_ Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Did anyone else get a confusing e-mail saying the GRE registration number they provided was linked to a subject test? I've never even taken a subject test, and have only taken the general GRE once. Obviously I've emailed the NDSEG folks, but I'm wondering if it was a mass email error.

I have also never taken a subject test and only took the GRE once. I contacted ETS and they said that my registration number was correct. I emailed the NDSEG people and they told me that the problem is that I changed my name since I took the test. I went back in and changed my name for my GRE scores and that fixed it.

Hmm, must be something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mutualimpedancewaffle Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 I received that email as well. After calling ETS and emailing NDSEG, I received the following response: "It appears you received yesterday’s notice in error. We apologize for any confusion caused and can confirm that your general GRE test scores have been successfully received and attached to you application." Well that was a lot of unnecessary frustration...anyways, time to buckle down and finish some last 400 character responses! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
