congrats to the winners! I got the same email. Too bad I can't reapply, this fellowship is much better than the nsf...

[DOE CSGF]

Sooo, if the process is in-line with last year's, we should get rejected today (since Gray28's husband has till tomorrow to accept / reject)...

 

If the process was in line with last year, we would have heard back three weeks ago.... =P

[DOE CSGF]

Can I ask what email you sent it to? Csgf@ or directly to Lindsey?

 

Originally I sent it to csgf@ but Lindsey responded from her email, and then proceeded from there.

[DOE CSGF]

Oh..that sucks, but it's actually a bit relieving to give up..

 

That would be true but I don't think that I can lose hope (although I wish I could) until I get the official rejection.

[DOE CSGF]

She responded to an email I had, and it doesn't sound too bright for us that haven't heard:

 

"Honestly, this is quite a weird year for us and I am not sure we will be offering anymore fellowships at this point. Although we may be. I know this is a super vague answer and I am so sorry for that. I can't imagine how frustrating this must be for you and for that I feel absolutely terrible."

[DOE CSGF]

Did you update your app with new publications or something? I had no idea we were allowed to do that! I guess it gives me another excuse to call

 

Yeah pub went from 'in preparation for submission' to 'submitted' haha. Also she wanted me to let her know 'asap' if I got any other fellowships, and I got the nsf last week... doesn't seem like it has hurried my decision for the csgf yet though.

 

Did anyone else have her urging them to tell her about other fellowships? I assume she was asking because of the ndseg but it's hard to get a good read...

I, too, haven't heard back yet. I'm not sure what to think this means. My guess is that the winners have been notified by now and the rest of us are on some sort of wait list and will find out in the next week or later. I'm curious to know how long people have to accept/decline the offer. I would assume a week, or two, or three?

 

I figure the late notification is a good thing, regardless. We must be close to winning if we haven't been rejected yet, right? Since I haven't started grad school yet I can apply next year too, but I really don't want to reapply!

 

I'm also waiting eagerly to hear back... I emailed the coordinator on Wednesday to update my application and she said, "I am hoping to send out notifications within the next day or two!"

 

Which sounds like she will tell both the remaining sucessful and unsucessful applicants soon, and not drag it out for weeks. It looks like, however, I'm not going to get a notification before next week.... It's hard to discern whats going on at her end....
