I had that same thing. I had two reviewers and one marked me quite high. The other went the opposite in some cases! Oh well.

One reviewer left no comments and seemed to mark everything in the realm of "good" on my rubric while the other reviewer marked most elements as "excellent" and thought my background was "compelling" and my understanding of the topics as "sophisticated." I know they don't attribute the check marks to the reviewers on the rubric, but based on feedback I'm just assuming who graded what.
What a discrepancy! It's as if they were reading different docs. ha. I wonder if my politically-laden research threw reviewer one. Of course I tried to water that down. Oh well - such is the nature of the beast
I'm happy reviewer two could pick up what I was putting down. Ha!
Same, I received honorable mention and had 2 reviewers total; one reviewer that tended to rate me as "excellent" and another reviewer who rated most of my stuff as "good." And my 2 reviewers did not leave any comments to supplement the ratings *sigh*

My portal has definitely changed. It takes me to a page that allows access to "Applicant Module 2.0." This has never happened before. Hopefully this means decisions soon.

Not real sure what it means, but maybe they've made their decisions...
interesting, when I log in I see what you all are talking about, but when I click "Ford Applicant 2.0 Module" it takes me to the same old application page where we typed in all our info. Judging by the time of day it is now, I guess we have to wait another day *sigh* can't wait for them to put all our minds at ease

I was a 2017 Ford Fellow winner and I checked my portal every day. One of the days I noticed that instead of the application page, that it said FELLOW MODULE but it didn't say anything about me winning. A few hours later I got an e-mail saying I got the fellowship. From I gleaned about freaking out over the change in website is that they set up the site in stages and wait until they sent out the acceptances for you to actually access the portal. I'm wishing all you guys luck!!!
I think they're makin moves! noticed a change in my online portal. Hopefully we find out soon...

Has anyone heard back from FORD yet?? Wondering if the acceptances/offers come in waves like some school offers do. The end of March is swiftly approaching!
Nope I still haven't heard from Ford; I thought this morning was going to be the day, but I guess not. I wish they gave us a date rather than a "before the end of the month" time range, as for a day we could count down and be patient, but for an any moment time range release we are constantly excited and looking lol
-
yeah I keep checking this thread too, and my email lol. I think/hope we will hear back tomorrow morning

From my understanding, we should be hearing back in 3 to 4 weeks! How is everyone feeling?
I'm getting so impatient/excited, can't wait to hear back about where I stand :)!

Ughh my 4th LOR is MIA meaning only 3 for me. Just need to finish the verification form and wait till march (is it march?). Fingers crossed.
Yep the Ford website says March; based on what I saw on here from people who applied last year, it will be at the end of March

Feeling grateful and relieved that my 4th (and final) recommender got her LoR uploaded. I'm reading through my essays again and realizing that I could've said some things a little differently, but what's done is done. I just have to sit back, pray that the reviewers take interest in my application, and hope for the best! Best of luck to everyone.
Same for me! word for word lol, my last LoR got uploaded yesterday, and I feel like there are little things in my essays that I could've re-worded, but I'm praying the reviewers still like my app.

tomorrows our final deadline, how is everyone feeling? Then it's the long waiting game till March

Wow this post was hidden to me, just now finding it too thanks to poster "Csot". I created my own thread on here a couple weeks ago for psychology applicants and was wondering why no one had posted before me lol, given the fellowship has been a popular topic on here last year and previous award years.
I submitted the supplemental stuff including the verification of predoctoral status (yeah I just wrote what classes I'm supposed to take each year in it), only problem is I'm still waiting for 3 of 4 recommenders to upload. They say students are last minute, but professors are too I guess >.< lol.
Good luck everyone!

oh my goodness lol, thanks!! for some reason that post never popped up when I searched. I will follow that one now haha

Anyone apply for the 2018 Pre-doctoral Fellowship?
