TONIGHT'S THE NIGHT!

( @Palito: Hope you don't mind that I'm essentially rehashing what you've written above ) Echoing above sentiments, congrats to all those that have received encouraging news about their graduate school futures. I'm a current student at Indiana University and would be happy to chat with those who have questions about the program. Feel free to PM. Cheers!

So did she pull through?! hahah

Whoops, sorry completely misread. Also realizing you said references. They seem to be more flexible with those.

Hate to be the second bearer of bad news on this thread but I do think it is likely that your application will be DQ'd. Formatting is one of the first criteria used to weed out applications, especially when you have thousands. Also, the extra space (as little or non-significant as it may be) constitutes an unfair advantage. You can hope it won't be noticed but my guess would be that after seeing hundreds of applications formatted in 1' margins, 0.7' margins might be easier to spot than one might think.

Hang on dear waitlisters. If my experience is anything UMN's waitlist is a bit all over the place. Last year it seemed they had me on an unofficial waitlist, as I didn't hear anything well into March. I was then sent an "official" rejection via email first week of April. But wouldn't you know, a week before the april 15th deadline I was sent another email saying that, in fact, I was now being offered admission. So it goes sometimes.

What exactly does the "HM upgrade" process look like? You just get an email saying you've been upgraded? What an amazing feeling that must be..

Check spam folders. That's where I found mine

Honorable mention. Shoul I i be happy or sad about this? Torn up about it but I do have a year of eligibility left.

I think I can make it to Tuesday. But until next Friday seems like an eternity.

Right there with you Trantorian. On that note--Ladies and Gentleman, your 2013 NSF GRFP applicants!!

Just so I can prod even further, does anyone know around when the site goes down on the night the awards are announced? Is it exactly 11p EST? Or sometime earlier in the evening?

How convinced are we about this Tuesday/Friday announcement date? ARE WE SURE!? HOW SURE DAMMIT!!!!!!! hahahahah

Starting to get to that point of checking this thread way more than anyone should be...

Anybody know when the ASA honors program decisions come out? Or around when they have usually come out in the past? Thanks!
