Is anyone else as sad as I am? I know other more deserving people won and I'm happy for them, but still very sad. I've never really won or been recognized for anything, and winning this would have been the solution to my financial problems (my TA stipend is not something I can live on) and a solution to how much I dislike teaching. Most of my comments were about how I haven't published enough to be competitive with other 2nd year grad students. I've done what I can with the resources available to me in my program, but I can't compete with people at wealthy universities on research grants.

That sucks! I am sorry. Did the last reviewer not read your statements carefully? So much of it comes down to getting the right reviewers

The noise from my email woke me up. But nope, not even close for me. G/E G/G G/VG Congrats to those of you who won!

FastLane is down!

That might be for the best! Probably time for me to stop looking for things to obsess over and go to sleep

I was actually wondering more about the total number of people who apply in a certain discipline. Is it that the top 10% of applicants win it regardless of discipline, or do they aim for the top 10% of each discipline?

Ok finally de-lurking to join the waiting game. Good luck everybody! I'm 2nd year grad so this is my last (and first) shot. Do we have any data from previous years about # of applicants per discipline?
