    Oh I didn't get it in my dream either. But I remember feeling relieved that the wait was over if nothing else.

    just called NSF HQ. Operator said: "The results will be released within the next 2 days". 
     
    Also, this page, once live, is where you'll be able to read your reviews: www.nsfgrfp.org/ratingsheets/

    Looking to procrastinate. I've been having fun looking up my last name and others in my lab group in the award offers and honorable mentions list, you can search all years at once going back to 52'. Someone with my last name and the same initials won in 2006, obviously this is a sign from the gods. I have yet to find any celebrity names.

    After weeks of biting my nails and debating the options, I have also made a decision! It was great to meet many of you at interviews. Hope everything works out for everyone!

    I did email a few PIs to verify whether they anticipate taking new students. More so, though, I emailed a bunch of students (some didn't respond) and asked about things I forgot to ask during the interviews. I also became concerned about how stipends are taxed in various states -- like if they count as taxable income, and if so, what is the income tax rate in those states -- and I couldn't figure it out online so I just asked students directly if they faced any unpleasant tax surprises. I didn't like that it came down to cost of living, but it does matter... The students were really forthcoming, though, so you might get more honest responses out of them.
     
    I ended up accepting at the place that I liked the most going in to this process -- you know where that is. I'm nervous about posting it online.
     
    Congrats on your offers!
