Rejection email here as well. This was my first fellowship experience and has taught me that I need to do much better on my application next year. I have been told (not sure of the reliability of the sources) that a large portion of each application is GPA. I currently have a 3.6 and am curious to know if any winners had equal or lower GPA's...any comments on this would be helpful. In short, does anyone REALLY know the breakdown between GPA, letters, and essays?
