  1. I think it'll say "welcome fellows" or something like that. Someone was digging in the HTML code and stumbled on it. I'm guessing if you're rejected it will still say "welcome applicants"
  2. I don't know if that was their intention-- probably just an artifact of the web design. But still really interesting, and you can check out the officials' version of the site too!
  3. Already doing my PhD elsewhere...
  4. I'm sure you'd be happy at either! I love UCSC and that whole part of California. It's my dream job to be a faculty member (or at least lecturer) at UCSC or CSU Monterey Bay.
  5. My friend did that in Florida, and is now in a marine ecology program! Where did you apply/ where are you going?
  6. It really is crazy how much you learn. Looking back at my application, there are definitely a few things I would have worded differently. Honestly, I'm not too worried about it. I think it's okay to have a couple minor flaws, as long as they don't compromise the integrity of the entire project. At least the reviewers will know that we wrote it, not our mentors!
  7. I've heard they aren't very good at keeping track of this. I think the proposal is more of an exercise to show that you can write a proposal. A department change might raise eyebrows, but I don't know if they'd rescind the fellowship (or even notice).
  8. Soo I removed my name from the alternate list. A weight has been lifted! Once again I feel that my destiny is in mine own hands! Here's to a postdoc abroad
  9. That is such a bummer, I was pulling for you! Best of luck and indeed, there is always next year.
  10. Aw crystaldee! I hope you get promoted! In other news, since apparently norway is staying underfunded, I think I'm going to remove my name from the alternate list on Monday. Yay for actually knowing where ill be 5 months from now!
  11. Thanks guys; to be completely honest, I am not that disappointed! I'm excited to move to Oregon to start a PhD and use my scholarship money to buy homebrewing equipment and a fancy new laptop . I would have preferred to travel now (before I settle down) but a lot of people go abroad for postdocs, so there's always that! I'll be checking in every once in awhile, but I think this is probably it for me; I think I'll remove my name from the alternate list if I don't hear by ~May 20th.
  12. Thanks, that helps a lot! So if you get alternate then I will assume that my alternate status = rejection.
  13. I DON'T UNDERSTAND. Does this mean alternates have a decent chance of being promoted if they find more funding? Or does it mean that perhaps you're an uber-alternate which means you'll probably get it if funding's there and worst case you'll be an alternate? This is so confusing.
  14. You know it's super cold right? And it gets sooo dark in the winter. Maybe you shouldn't accept
  15. Congrats to everyone who got it! Gosh it really caught me off guard getting the email so late.
