E1 (Global Change) - received my rejection package yesterday. I am in Indiana, but my home state is Pennsylvania. The letter was dated April 22 and had the evaluation by 3 reviewers. Overall scores were 2 "very good" and 1 "good". Two of the reviewers had mostly positive comments with some constructive criticism (I even got an "excellent" on one of the criteria). The third reviewer, however (the one who gave me an overall score of "good"), just trashed my entire proposal. I'm OK with that because it gives me a direction in which to improve my proposal and project for the future, but I was kind of upset because some of the suggestions he/she made and the things I apparently should've mentioned were actually covered in my proposal. That makes me wonder how thoroughly the reviewers read it... It's all good, though, because I got the NSF-GRFP fellowship Good luck everyone! I hope you guys receive that special phone call!!

I applied in that category and I haven't received anything yet!

That's a good point. Thanks! And congrats to you, too!!

I just found out that I was selected to receive the NSF fellowship, which I'm supposed to accept or decline by May 1. I also applied for the EPA STAR fellowship. So if the results of that one won't be announced until May 30, what should I do about NSF (I know that the chances of me getting both fellowships are very very very close to zero...but I still thought I'd ask)

Haha, same here!! I have to be in lab by 9...I don't think I'll be able to fall asleep tonight, haha :)It's alright, though - I have enough adrenaline running through me to keep me awake for the next week!! I already called my fiance, my mom, and texted my advisor about it, haha!!!

I just got the e-mail, too!

I couldn't see the list, but when I logged into my account, I saw my official acceptance letter!!! OMG!!!!! I'm shaking!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I agree!!! They should do it during regular business hours.

Hahahaha! This literally made me laugh out loud!!

They're probably all sound asleep in their warm beds right now, laughing at us in their dreams!

Hmmm....I don't think I've ever played either one of the games! Good luck with the power - I hope it gets turned back on before your laptop dies! I should probably try to get some work done. Must....stop....refreshing....this....page.....

Haha, what a coincidence - that's MY "most desirable" option at the moment, as well! The only difference would be playing spider solitaire instead of the regular one

Ugh, that's not good. Can you go back to your lab/office to finish your work tonight?

Smart phone?

Born and raised in Russia (until I was 9). High school and undergrad in PA and now grad school in IN. This is my first and last time applying, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed!

I would probably to do the same. And then I would celebrate with my labbies by drinking...a lot...because that's something I haven't done since I started grad school!

That's why smartphones were made

Haha, they probably do.

Haha, I did after reading your post
