Needless to say, I don't really buy SysPlus' argument. I called them a little over a week ago and they said that all of the agencies made their decisions following the timeline they set in September (i.e. COVID had not affected anything). Furthermore, earlier in the thread someone posted that AFRL had made all of their decisions in March. What a mess.

He made it sound like on Friday. But he also said it could be earlier. Could be later. He said it depends on when they're notified or something. Given the previous post which said that all of the decisions were already made (which makes sense), it doesn't make sense to me why they don't know the exact date. Btw, he mentioned that they have received several hundred calls over the past few days. I mentioned the application dates, but he didn't give me any info (also remember @Physicsisphysicsasked before and they said they were meaningless).

Pray its not like 2011 or 2018.. I looked at the previous years recently in my anxiety.. FWIW I called sys-plus and the project manager said he was highly confident it would be this Friday, but at the latest before the 15th. Year Date Released 2019 29-Mar Friday 2018 13-Apr Friday 2017 11-Apr Tuesday 2016 1-Apr Friday 2015 1-Apr Wednesday 2014 10-Apr Thursday 2013 3-Apr Wednesday 2012 13-Apr Friday 2011 16-Apr Satruday 2010 12-Apr Monday

Right.. but their application has been updated now twice in April alone. I highly doubt there has been a round of cuts between Friday and today. I can't envision a scenario which makes sense for the timings given the variety of oddities. Maybe we'll figure something out at the end which can help next year, though.

Hmmm but previously, @fishandfreckles application had been updated April 3... What could this mean?

Another data point: Application last updated 12/20/19. Applied under physics (including optics), with AFOSR BAA. P.S. @Physicsisphysics , you the real MVP for putting in all this work calling, etc.!
