Help! I am a senior undergrad who has received the award, E/E, E/E, VG/G, but I haven't gained admission to any of the PhD programs to which I applied. Foolishly, I only applied to a few and was rejected from all of them. Does anyone know any specific loopholes for GRF deferment or has encountered a situation like this before? I know there has to be a way around this, jumping out of a third story window (medical deferment) joining the Army (military deferment). I know the GRF also funds research-based Master's but those deadlines have passed as well. The other Q&A forums were a little vague, so I would be very thankful if anyone could provide insight/advice. I've contacted my top choice to relate to them the good news, but they responded with a metaphorical door slam in my face.
