Ya, you're right, looks like 12k. http://www.nsfgrfp.org/assets/File/2011%20NSF%20GRFP%20Presentation.pdf

Combined with the 8k applicants figure, does it seem odd that 25% of applicants are awarded a fellowship?

Any care to venture a guess as to when we'll hear or how many awards?

PhD or masters?

Why do you say they're so rigid? Personal experience? Is there information readily available on this?

Darn, still waiting on Phd...

I don't understand why they'd decide who they'll accept and invite to the open house, and then not tell us anything for a further two weeks.

I've been told that once you have funding you can essentially pick where you go, since you are basically free labor. I'm guessing you just email the schools and tell them the good news?

Is hope lost yet? I tried contacting them and haven't received a response...

These decisions might not be the acceptances.

Judging from last year's results, there were a few acceptances by email in February followed by lots of rejects by post in March.

What is it with letters? Email us, it's faster and cheaper!

Hahvahd, y u so slow?
