Hey, The award page currently says: "There is no information about your award status at this moment." But I'm assuming they didn't send the email by mistake haha, so no hope here. Cheers!

Just got a rejection email... boohoo Luckily I got NSF and Nasa STRF. I sincerely hope my lab colleagues got NDSEG

Pretty much where I'm at. I'm finishing up my 2nd year, which was funded. That's why NDSEG is not off limits... Any idea when funding begins? If it's in the Fall, then I'll have a unfunded Summer if I accept NDSEG (since NSF GRFP starts June 1st.)

Would anyone here take NDSEG over NSF? Is there any reason to do so? For my institution, NDSEG covers everything, whereas NSF's maximum salary is a few thousand under what grad students get paid here.

I'm a 2nd year here. Got it as well E/VG VG/E VG/VG I think it's even more nuts when you actually FEEL the pressure of needing money, and then you get awarded NSF!! I'm still in shock lol Crossing my fingers for NDSEG though! They actually finance me 100%, whereas NSF gets me at ~90% (for the stipend... and even less for tuition).

What program did you get accepted to? I know that in ECE, the summers pay much more, and the yearly salary ends up to be around 30K

I got accepted to the ECE department just over a week ago

I got in!!!! First three quarters funded

Is CS and EE the same dept? I haven't gotten an email with details.. I just know the visit days are March 15-16

Going to Caltech this Wedn - Friday for MSE PhD visit!

I'm in a similar position (except I have no child). I can use some advice as well. My fiancée (who is south american) will be immigrating to the US around next Feb/March 2016. I'm deciding between UCB and Stanford (EE PhD, F15). It will take a few weeks, and probably a few months, before she can get a job. Thus, initially our only source of income will be what I get from UCB/Stanford. Which city has the cheapest salary to living cost ratio? Both universities have a salary of around $30K I believe... (that's not including summer salaries). Any help would be awesome!

Talk about it.. I'm about to go visit a potential PhD program (with paid hotel+flight). My hotel roommate is an Ivy league undergrad (at the same ivy league where both of his parents are well known professors). He has multiple pubs and went to the most expensive private high school in the US. And here I am at a no-name university, lol

Perhaps from the 23 years of living in Phoenix and not once did I get bitten by a scorpion, snake, centipede, etc. has something to do with it.

Caution to OP, ^ this is an extreme over-generalization. Turning down an opportunity because of you believe you'll be affected by "venomous tarantulas, giant centipedes, rattle snakes, and scorpions" is idiotic.
