  1. From my experience so far in an engineering graduate program, you won't hinder your chances of landing a job in industry by pursuing a PhD. The degree itself makes you very versatile even if you don't work on your dissertation topic after you graduate. While it may make you overqualified for typical BS/MS type jobs, but you're opening a lot of other doors in startups and management positions. You don't really sacrifice much by pursuing a PhD as opposed to a masters, a few of my labmates have families and young children, you have to really focused financial planning and spouse income helps a bit but it is doable.
  2. This is a broad fellowship so committee meeting dates might be variable depending on which discipline you applied to but I thought it'd be nice to have a place for people to discuss their application process, how they did (score), and whether they received it or not. I applied during the last cycle, December 8th 2013 on an HIV based project and my committee isn't meeting until March 28th 2014. Has anybody else applied or received this fellowship?
