First, congrats to all that received the award and good luck to those who have another chance at itnext year!
This is my second and final year to apply for the fellowship. Received the Honorable Mention.. ugh. I am a bit perplexed as I only received comments from two reviewers. What is especially weird is that there is a page for Reviewer #2, however all of the comment fields are blank.
My reviews read like this:
1) VG, VG
2) IM and BI fields are present but no comments are present
3) VG, E
I am wishfully holding out for the slim chance that there was an error and that my application will be fairly reevaluated by a third reviewer who gives me an E/E. This will thereby secure my award and I will profit.
Slightly more likely is that Reviewer #2's recommendations were considered, but didn't make it into the pdf. Hopefully they could at least send me the review as it may contain more informative feedback than the dearth of helpful comments reviewers 1 and 3 offered.
I dread that most likely they either made an error and won't do anything about it, or that they actually meant to give my high-caliber application only two reviews before mentioning my honorable effort.
Anyone know what is up with this? Has anyone received an honorable mention with only two reviewers? Any chance for reevaluation if there was indeed an error?
Thanks for your input!
