79th-93rd percentile got in on first round anyone make it to the 93rd to 99th percentile?

Just to help with the stats: intellectual merit/broader impacts vg/e e/e vg/vg (Life Sciences - Ecology) The vg/vg reviewer was the most critical and helpful with feedback; the e/e not at all. I still got in on the first round; as with most scholarships (as most who have been reviewers say), it seems like there's a good deal of chance and institutional constraints (equity in geographical and reputational representation, perhaps?) involved as to who gets it, once you get to the top 10-20% of applicants. Congrats to all.
