Hats off to all of us for even applying--don't listen to all the negativity. Just that says a lot about your motivation, credentials, and whatever support system encouraged you to apply. There were 16,000 applicants out of I don't even know how many eligible students who didn't even try. Yes, the majority of us will awfully disappointed, possibly even tired and angry if we stay up all night to see the results, but just think of what good things can come--feedback on making your future proposals better, showing you have the initiative to try for something big, possibly getting recognized as an honorable mention, and the big "pot of gold" of actually getting the grant!
Very true. According to http://www.cgsnet.org/us-graduate-schools-report-slight-growth-new-students-fall-2012about 461,000 graduate students enrolled in 2012. Assuming that enrollment rate is fairly constant through the years and knowing the following stats:
- About 40% of grad students are "national" students and hence eligible. https://www.insidehighered.com/news/2013/07/12/new-report-shows-dependence-us-graduate-programs-foreign-students
- Around 50% of us are enrolled in STEM fields (see cgsnet link above)
- 3 "generations" of us are applying (Entering students, 1st year and 2nd year) (let us use 2.5 considering there may be some fallout)
We come to an estimate of 230,500 eligible students....
of which only we 16,000 applied
Hence from the total pool of eligible students only about 7% of us applied......
....all of a sudden 12% looks a lot better than a 0.8% chance no?

Webpage is sufficient. I submitted that last year and it was accepted without any problem.

Just turn it in!

What if at one point all applicants have at least visited gradcafe "once"? ... and only the ones who actually did good posted
....hence "publication bias" O_O
In honor of "anti-publication bias":
VG/E G/G VG/VG - not awarded
.... The blood loss is not that severe because of the helpful feedback - but =\
TILL NEXT YEAR!!!! (。^_・)ノ

Anybody obsessive enough to figure out if gradcafe users have a higher or lower awarding rate based off previous years results?
