I agree with all this. My only hope is that it doesn't look like anyone has gotten accepted since May 30th, and there does appear to be whole FONs with nobody reporting having gotten a fellowship. I might be grasping at straws, but maybe some FONs were a bit late in making decisions, and as such offer notifications haven't been sent out yet. Has anyone gotten an offer in E1 (Global Change)? Congrats to all that have gotten the fellowship, and hope there are still a few more acceptances!

Last year I was one of those candidates - I made it to the final stage, but didn't get awarded. I was told last year that there were over 1300 applicants, 161 finalists, and according to the website, 138 awarded (darn so close). This year there are 214 finalists for 150 spots, so I imagine there will be a number of rejections still to come (probably not until mid- to late June). I don't know what the rate of acceptance of an offerred fellowship, I imagine it's pretty high. I think there are more than enough backup finalists, so, unfortunately I agree with 'itsavailable' and wouldn't expect an EPA change of heart if you've been rejected. Anybody getting notices today? I thought there would be a lot of phone calls and emails going out today. Anybody get offerred E1 (Global Change) yet?

Evolve--- I was just curious when you got the rejection letter for Global Change. Seems some went out in mid-Aprilish, wondering if they are putting out another round on rejections before they begin offering Sounds like you had a strong proposal. Congrats on the NSF!

It seems like decisions are still being made. I'm in the global change FON, and hadn't heard anything. I finally got ahold of someone today, and I said I was still in the running, and expect to hear something in the next week. So good luck to those who haven't heard, except those competing with me.
