I think you should be fine. It would be silly to just have documents uploaded all to one place, for all of them to sort out later into a database. It makes more sense that the database is filled dynamically.

A fun puzzle nonethess

you got updated? damn. Still not updated here. RIP

ITS THE FINAL COUNTDOWN !!! *cue music*

Let's create a zoom meeting later when the results come out to vent about not getting the fellowship ?

#ForeverDecember

you could write a script in tampermonkey that refreshes the page automatically until one of the elements change. If it changes, then play loud sound

Are you #DecemberGang ?

@ December gang In the event of the marginal chance we get it, will we have a meet up party?

we should make a remix of this:

It means that you will win free bitcoins at a cryptocasino ! But seriously, don't worry about it. All it means is that they are hard at work. They will get the results in a few days. We've waited too long. We can wait a few more days. This thread has taught me that reading into something with half baked knowledge is never a good idea. Edit: And no, my date is still 12/24

I just realized something crazy ! Even if the dates do matter, it's not going to change the final decision. And if I even interpret something from the dates, the final decision still trumps whatever extrapolation I came up with ! So who cares ? We already know the decisions come out Friday.

Sure. I get this. But there was a guy who had *20 publications*. And there were people with near perfect gpas and GRE scores. If the first round is a result of looking at primarily GRE and GPA, and those kinds of candidates didn't make it past the first round, then WHO did??

Doesn't this reinforce the claim that the woman said it just to make people feel better?

If that's the case, then I'm outta here

Dumb question: how would you all react if there was an NDSEG reviewer/sysplus admin participating on this thread?

My application update date is still the same

kek

Probably the other divisions

lol, I'm not gunna lie, I'm a bit jelly of you. You got an April 6th update !

He might be going back to school though after being in the industry/workforce for many years. And even if the publications were a red flag, he has a pretty high GPA. Not sure about his GRE scores however, but I'd imagine they were high as well.

If this guy doesn't get it, then it's a rigged game. I won't feel bad for getting rejected then.

Based on the new data I compiled, yes. There were 35 people in total, of which 4 people got most recent update. That's about 12%. The acceptance rate is about 5%. Given this is GradCafe, this would be much higher, maybe twice? So yeah. If you have a December update (me included), take the black pill. You didn't get the fellowship. 16/35 people had a December update. That's a little less than 50%. But a significant portion. And they don't tell you why you didn't make it past the first cut.
