Did not get it. E/E VG/VG E/E. A little disappointed. But like we all know this is like winning the lottery sometimes.

I really hope it is tonight. But on the other hand I am on my way up to DC for orientation for the NSF EAPSI fellowship, so I would rather not be in the presence of NSF when I get the news (good or bad). I will definitely be attempting to sleep through the night, but knowing me my body will keep me from sleeping soundly.

For Taiwan, Elena sent us an email with the official acceptance letter attached from MOST, which is the science governing body over there. The email was sent on March 11th. But the acceptance letter was signed on March 8th.

I just got my official acceptance from Ministry of Science and Technology of Taiwan. So hopefully more official acceptances are coming soon.

I applied to Academia Sinica. We would both be in Taipei! Though in reality the country is not that big to begin with.

Has anyone else besides @bhub received forms about making travel plans? I was in the first round of people that received a tentative acceptance e-mail. Wondering if I should send them an e-mail, or work on my patience?

Still haven't gotten anything about making travel plans. My field is Marine Science.

So. I e-mailed them yesterday morning, to ask some questions about the stipend. And they responded pretty quickly to my questions (within the hour). I e-mailed them my acceptance yesterday afternoon, and didn't receive a response. I feel like they are just waiting for the deadline to pass today, and then sending out a mass e-mail to us all as a whole. But hey, I could be completely wrong.

@GBinAZ For me, my status on Fastlane still says 'pending' so the only way that I was notified was via the e-mail from Elena. The e-mail went to my regular inbox, and was also listed as important due to the wording inside the e-mail. Good luck!

Just got a tentative offer for Taiwan!

No. But if you look at last year's thread. Japan was the first to hear back at the end of January, and the others follows through the beginning of March. Dates of Tentative Offer from last year: Japan - January 29th Australia - February 10th New Zealand - February 24th China - February 26th Singapore - February 27th Korea - March 2nd Taiwan - March 2nd

Just submitted as well... Starting the waiting game.

Just got my rejection for the E2 category with an overall score of very good. Good feedback for the NSF GRFP at least hahahah. Good luck to those still waiting.
