  1. That's really up to you. I would personally go with the professor who wrote you recommendations for grad school. His letter had a part in getting you into grad school, so it must be favorable.
  2. I would go for the more senior professor personally. Yes, you may have a better relationship with the first one, but it will look better to have a full professor writing a recommendation. I would write up your proposal and personal statement (whatever NSF calls it) and give it to the second professor so that he can write a strong LOR, as one of the questions that the recommendations ask includes: "Is the student capable of carrying out the proposed project?" (Not verbatim, but something along those lines)
  3. I got a GRFP last year, and I had my 1). current advisor, 2). my undergrad advisor, and 3). one of my favorite professors from undergrad. The reason I put him as my primary reference is because I knew that he would write me an outstanding letter. PI's want NSF fellows in their groups because they don't have to pay an extra student as a research assistant, and it's a prestigious award, which makes them look good.
  4. I was awarded!! E/E E/E E/E I was surprised because I had a big 0 publications. I did have 7 presentations though (some even award winning). I also had a 4.0 GPA from undergrad and a lot of "broader impact" activities (mentoring underprivileged kids, mentoring freshman, mentoring minority students in the Summer Bridge program, serving on graduate panels, helping recruit students into the sciences, outreach activities). I think that helped a lot. Also, my recommendations were apparently outstanding, even though I have never seen them. Anyways, I'm so excited! It's been quite a journey with you guys the past few weeks. I just need a nap right now.
  5. Where? I can't see anything for any other GRFP's. I'm just curious
