you were rejected from schools, just like you will be rejected from the NSF. Expect it. Doesn't mean that you won't go on to do great things. It just means you wont have that badge of prestige. Have a good day sir.
Yeah. The odds are against you. There will be approximately 10,000 sad people the day they post. All the applications are high caliber. Just depends on luck. How lucky are you? Now ask yourself. Do you really think you are so special that you are better than many other good scientist applying? Don't be selfish and conceited. Every single person that applied has just a good a chance as you. My friend that won last year only filled out 1 page for the proposal and one page for the personal statement and somehow won. =/ Bet the judges just liked that he was simple and down to the point. O.o
LOL, All i know if that I have a acceptance notification and you all do not ( besides a select few)
They prolly told you that to spare your feelings until the bulk of the notifications are released
Think about it, they want to retain the really good applicants
because the more days that pass, we could accept other fellowships
so to all who disliked
keep hating
The first round of emails sent out at 5:30 P.M (central time today)
I just got my acceptance letter! Thank you GOD!
So blessed
"Dear fellow" OMG screamed out loud
I feel like i just won the lottery
Good luck guys/gals
