Hi, late to the game here! Just want to add that Oviedo is really great. I love Winter Park, but I would strongly warn you about the traffic. If you live there your commute time could be a half hour at least each way. That's the only reason I'd avoid it, as there is much more to do in Winter Park than Oviedo.

I am in my 2nd year, I was funded with my letters coming from my advisor, followed by two people I worked for during undergrad and my year off on their grants. I had a fourth letter from a grad professor, but I doubt they read it.

Thanks anyways closetchem!!

Does anyone know if it's possible to see numbers about how many applicants there were per field, or better, sub-field?

So true, the only option really is to go to bed and see the results in the am.

Yes. Yes to that.

This is my last application, so my last time creeping the GRFP forum. Good luck everyone, and thanks for sharing in the crazy and anxiety-ridden experience.

That's enough to make me hope, let the anxiety begin (again)!

Ha, literal LOL. I think I need to make a sign of this and hang it up at my desk. It's that time again, starting to check multiple times a day.... Was it confirmed that people didn't get requests for an additional page?

There were PowerPoints about the whole program. I have them still if anyone wants them, but I have no recollection of where I found them. If you did STEM education, you have an advantage in my opinion. NSF looks favorably upon research which improves our society. What better field than improving scientific education!?

Well if more engineers apply than other fields (psychology), the rate of award per field is based on total applicants, and the graph you are referring to shows the previous awards per field out of the total amount of awards... Then this graph may seem like engineers have a better chance because they are at 30% but their chances are still the same because overall they had more people applying for awards. It's more nerve wrecking knowing that only 10 people received awards in my area last year...

I'm psychology as well, it seems so hopeless to get my hopes up. The statistics does not favor the odds for psychology... Seems so illogical to get nervous or getting my hopes up. Any information still helps, gives us something to grasp at

How much earlier did you find out, an hour?

I am getting sick from the nerves, so much for sleep!!

Viewer count just keeps going up and up! I'll be distracting myself with data analysis
