  1. you guys are doing it all wrong. for example, it doesn't matter if you have .mil and 202 recommendations. i can't believe this isn't obvious to everyone

    That was a *JOKE* from much earlier in the forum....

  2. oh no! Don't bring back the hope of more awards!

    I was making progress through the various stages of grief...

    That being said, you make a good point.

    Yah...I'm gonna need to hear of at least one person getting an offer from EE if I'm going to successfully give up all hope. I am still hanging by one thread..... so annoying...

  3. What subjects have heard anything?

    Yeses from:

    -CS (fluffy, dude from link at WashU, 2006)

    -cogsci (neurojoeb)

    -Materials (dude from link at Drexel )

    -aerospace (fortytwo)

    -chemE (ifiwuzabear)

    Unknown field:

    ecbbce, kala tim

    Has anyone gotten accepted from:

    Math?

    EE?

    Bio?

    Physics?

    Chem?

    Civil?

    Maybe our sample size is too small...but I feel like there is some significant award notifications missing. But if there were ~3000 applicants and we have about 158 applicants here on the forum, then yah, not a big enough sample size to tell anything from this if there are only 200 awards

  4. I am starting to regret even checking this forum again for this thread. I probably should have just waited it out in ignorant bliss because waiting like this, regardless of the outcome, is worse.

    I tried to give you a +1, but I'm apparently out for today.

    I could not agree more! :)

  5. Exactly how I feel right now...

    Uck, me too.

    Hahah, I bet ASEE did not foresee this forum in which we discuss minute-by-minute actions when they chose to release these as slowwwlllyyy-annndd-paaainnnffullly-as-posssibllleeee....

  6. tried logging into "awards" page and got:

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The change you wanted was rejected.

    Maybe you tried to change something you didn't have access to.

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    this is different than before anyways

    I got that too...then I tried again a minute later and was back to the same old thing.

  7. This is really strange, but I was just catching up on all the insanity on the thread from this weekend (I hadn't checked it since Friday afternoon), and then I saw the old posts about logging in online. So I logged in online and saw that I had received an award. Then I was really confused that I hadn't received an email notification, so I went back to my email, and realized I had received an email about 10 minutes ago (before I logged into the website).

    Actually, I received two emails, one at 1:16 pm EST (award notification, which exactly matched the text posted earlier by the other awardee), and one at 1:26 pm EST (award package).

    I don't know if this means everyone will start to receive the notifications now, or if the letters are still straggling out, but since I've been stalking this page, I thought I would let everyone know... theorize away!

    what field?

    congrats btw!

  8. The worst part is that once I start this interview at 1, I'm pretty much not gonna be able to see if we get the email until like 4. Anxiety!

    Think of it as a * positive* thing! Hahah, you actually at least have a chance of doing something productive, while several of us sit here hitting F5 in vain.

    Then when you check at 4, it may/may not be there, but it will be like you skipped ahead to nearly the end of the business day. :)

  9. I agree with you in principle, it's just easier said than done.

    I tried to delete my account and cleared my history and vowed never to return...to block all of this out of my mind and focus on this boring paper I'm reading.

    However...you apparently have to ask a moderator to "disable" your account (can't actually delete it), and...this forum remains here....so....sadly...I remain here.

    Also this unread paper remains on my desk. :-P

  10. Do we know whether they send them out at the same general time or whether it takes place over the course of the day?

    Well...does anyone else have a rejection timestamp from last year? Probably on last year's forums...

  11. Let's see...my 2 *previous* rejections came at these times during the day:

    Date: April 12, 2010 3:42:27 PM UTC-4

    Date: April 18, 2006 8:58:34 AM UTC-4

    So, both morning and afternoon. Can't wait to see what time this years comes!!

    I love it how they just tell it straight up old school "we regret to inform..." it was the exact same letter 4 years apart....maybe they'll shake it up this year!!

  12. ill call her at like 3/4....definately before she could leave for the day, but after lunch......if they are going to have it by today, they will have it by 4 pm lol

    Didja call yet?? Hehehe

  13. This forum is so much less energetic that GRFP. Granted we're a smaller bunch...and probably have been been rejected recently (or else why would you still care about NDSEG because you can't have NDSEG and GRFP both).... But...stay strong people!! Only a few more days....hopefully.....

  14. How important is gpa???

    I heard from another student who claims to know someone who judged once said that (GPA + GRE) = 25% of the total score. I can't claim that it's reliable info, but it sounds about right. *shrug*

  15. 4/8/11 7:58 AM EDT

    When closing the floor late Thursday night, No. 2 Senate Democrat Dick Durbin placed the House-approved bill that funds the government for a week and the Department of Defense for a year on the Senate calendar.

    http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0411/52794.html

    So hopefully that happens. I like the part where DoD is will be funded for a year, and worst case the shutdown will be pushed back a week (to April 15th), which is when we're supposed to hear results. Also, maybe they'll avoid a shutdown all together? But...probably not.
