Anyone have any insights into how the waitlist works?
I would like to know too. I emailed the PMO but didn't get any response. I think we will just have to wait until the deadline of April 29 and see what happens from there.

People on a wait list, does it note this status on the application site? Mine says 'not selected' which I assume means I'm not on the wait list, although I haven't received my email yetYes, my status says "(Status: Wait List)"

Looking at the spreadsheet, it looks like there are a ton of waitlisted people (myself included). If the spreadsheet is representative and all 4/16 and 4/17 updates represent all the accepted and waitlisted people, 25% of applicants were waitlisted or accepted. If the acceptance rate is about 5% as expected, this means there are 4x as many waitlistees as acceptances. I think a waitlist is more like a fancy rejection than anything--the chances you get off the waitlist seem pretty low.

the size of ~December Gang~ makes it seem like this may not necessarily be the case.
To me the size of December and February gang actually is in line with this theory. Slide 36 of the oft-cited http://www.oasdre-hbcumiworkshop.com/2019_presentations/07-Wisecarver_Robinson_HBCU_Workshop_with_AFOSR_overview.pdf notes that 30% of the top candidates move on to the DoD for selection. Right now about 66% of people in our spreadsheet have December thru February last updates, which is in line with the idea that anyone with an April update was being evaluated by the DoD.

So for what it's worth, I've been on Rob's end of doing something like this for a set of competitive HS summer programs. (The application is literally like a college app).
Reviewers, recommenders and applicants have access to the same webpage, but get assigned different permissions which changes what they see. We also have 3 stages of reviews before results. >GPA/Test Scores etc etc. > selection committee ranking > final selections > results are out.
Because different people along the process have different permissions, the applicant's last update date does change as they are moved from one bucket to the next so that their info can be seen by the person in the next stage. But dates change a lot and multiple times between one stage and the next because sometimes if we want to try out new layouts or change the interface for a specific category of user we'll go in and assume their "role" which also changes the date for last update.... sometimes a lot if we want to mock going through all the ways a user can interact with the page. All ranking, commenting on apps, and evals happens in the same portal.
The last stage before the results come out is the tricky one because we basically have the rosters ready and made but are waiting for the official release from the University to go live. My guess is that this is where we're at right now.This makes a lot of sense. If this were the case, the 4/13 people are the winners. We will see if this turns out to be true.

Doing some minor hacking. It looks like this is what those awarded will have shown. They already have all the appropriate elements in the HTML, but commented out. I'm guessing you only get access to those pages "/Fellow/PostAwardDashboard.aspx" if you've actually been awarded, which is totally a backend thing
I've looked at this too. At least for me going to that URL just redirects to the login page. I think it's likely that there's no "hidden information" in Sysplus' system, they literally just don't have the info from the DoD, so they wouldn't really have anything to hide.

Guys this is insanity. Yes if you get the fellowship, that certainly makes your life much easier and is a wonderful feather in your cap. This achievement should not be diminished. This does not, however, mean that if you win this fellowship, that you're done. How you execute over the next several years is ultimately what determines your success. I'm certain if a modicum of the enthusiasm over the dates in this thread were to be applied to your research work, you career dreams would be realized.
Don't worry, I have the same neuroticism about my research too

Mine just changed from 4/3 --> 4/7
Same.

I had a 4/3 update, but no 4/6 update (I think I'm the first one on this thread with this?) Hope this doesn't mean I'm out... This is so intense. It better not take till Friday.

For those who've received an update for 4/3, does it still say "Under Evaluation" ?
Yep

Here to add another datapoint.
Electrical Engineering, ARO. Originally had 2/28 as my last updated date but like so many others it changed to 4/3 yesterday.
Is there anyone who had a 2/28 who did not have a 4/3 update? Or anyone who did not have a 2/28 update who had a 4/3 one? Just trying to figure out what these updates might represent.

I received an acceptance and I am in EE (signal processing/optimization). I had an interview and another prof reached out to me today saying they wanted to talk to me and encouraging to visit. I am not sure about all candidates, maybe hardware people haven't heard back yet.

Happy to add to that neuroticism. Based on this thread from three years ago, people seem to have gotten off the waitlist from May 10 through sometime in early June, in waves (probably due to those who got off the waitlist but didn't accept their offer). The deadline for awardees to accept that year was April 25, so I figure we'll probably see a similar timeline.
