Thus far, 20 have been accepted.

I would argue that this is like photoelectric effect: if it is below a quanta, it doesn't matter how much "honor" one gets. In either case, let's see if there is a chance to tunnel through the waitlist barrier >_<

Similar here; they did say that I should put HM on my CV. In addition, there is an explicit note that I am on the waitlist, in case more funding shall become available. Did you guys get the note about the waitlist as well? I am 1st year grad, hence won't be able to reapply

I am pretty certain that I heard them correctly last time, but yea...maybe. If we had no chance, we would have been rejected already, during the main waves. Hence, it is not a bad idea to leave a bit of hope in your pocket

Welp, I guess they miscalculated when they told me they would be done by this Friday... On the positive side, that would probably mean they are trying to figure out their funding to offer more awards. Now, considering Easter, we might not hear until Tuesday. Let's try to have some peace of mind and enjoy the weekend!

Did anyone hear anything from Krell? Nothing on my side..................

Surprisingly, I did meet a guy who got both CSGF and NNSA fellowships last year, and chose to go with NNSA, freeing up a CSGF spot. However, I think the main purpose of a waitlist is not to see if anybody rejects, but rather in case more funding will become available (they have done it in the past). All in all, they wouldn't just keep us in the dark for 1.5 weeks for nothing In either case, ~3 hrs left. Good luck, comrades!

I just called them, which shed some light on the situation. Krell doesn't typically send out waitlist notification (though they do sometimes), hence that's the position we might be in. In addition, I was told that they are working on getting the rest of the notifications out right now, and should finalize everything by this Friday. "It ain't over 'til it's over"

Same here, dead silent. It seems from last years that they did send out waitlist notifications before the responses were due. Since we haven't received anything, I am lost of where we stand (another wave of calls/letters coming? waitlist? our apps were eaten by a wild animal?)...guess we just have to wait and see.

That comment made me chuckle as well, haha. I think the reason for less engagement last year is due to Krell being on top of their funding game, and releasing all of the decisions early. As it currently stands, that's not the case this year, hence the delay... The past couple of days have been quiet, and now we have to wait until next week. That being said, I still doubt that those of us who haven't heard anything yet are necessarily on the waitlist/honorable mention, because this thread is still actively viewed (>100 views just today). This leads me to believe there is still a big chunk of us (too big for waitlist) being left out behind the iron curtain by Krell. To pass the time, it might be nice, for those who are waiting, to share their field of research. This can give some insight of whether or not Krell is giving out decisions by category/field. (I am doing Astronomy)

I haven't heard anything either. I think it is too early to say if we are on the waitlist or not. We certainly weren't rejected in the waves of rejection letters of the past few days, which is a good thing. Krell also showed that they don't do all acceptance calls in one day, hence more might be coming. I am wondering if they roll out decisions based on category/field....in either case, I would give them at least until the end of Friday >_<

Huh, it seems there is a good chance most of us will hear from Krell, in one form or the other, by the end of this week (unless waitlisted?)

That's nice to know. Thanks, pterosaur!

Yea...and judging from the views this thread is getting (more than doubled in the last week), there are a lot of people waiting... I wonder if proposed DOE budget cuts under new administration (esp for scientific computing) have anything to do with this delay >_<

Welcome to the club, qmoore All I know is that last year they send out a bunch of rejections a few days before they started sending acceptances, which also happened over the course of a few days (might be longer). Hope is somewhere out there haha

Gotcha, then it certainly wasn't from them haha I wish more people would reply in this thread in case anyone got a response or is waiting for one, like us. It would allow to build some stats :/

Based on previous years, they send majority of rejections first, and then take their time with acceptance calls. This is not much, but I think it is not such a bad thing that we haven't heard anything from them yet.

Good catch! I certainly did not expect for it to be this early. Funny enough, I did miss a call yesterday, with unidentified number...though I doubt they wouldn't call back, if there would be any positive news...time to start freaking out lol

Right, but the years prior to that they seem to respond only by ~mid April. Thus, let's not get our hopes up just yet. Oh the wait... >_<
