I say there's no way results get posted today. Maybe next week if we're lucky.

I'm 12/5. It's interesting how some people have their last update around 12/20-23. while some like us have our last updates before the due date. If the dates meant selection rounds, then it makes sense that there'd be an initial cutoff for GPA screening and such. But what does it mean for us? Did we just screw up our applications somehow and we didn't even make it to an initial round? Were our BAAs/disciplines just not up for funding? It's a mystery.

Darn it Rob. As someone who has his last updated on 12/5, it would be kind of aggravating if it meant my application wasn't even looked at. I know I'm not the only one with a last updated before the due date. Maybe I made a mistake or something with the app, or maybe the agency/BAA I picked wasn't interested at all in my discipline? Idk.

There's no consensus on what the dates mean, but this forum has sure thought a lot about them.

Hey everyone, I just emailed DoD to see whether they will be releasing the NDSEG results today. They did send me a detailed video explaining the current status of the Fellowship: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHg5SJYRHA0

I'm still at 12/05, applied for AFRL. I wonder what it all means...

Does anyone else think that Honorable Mention is pretty worthless for the GRFP? They say you could put it on your CV, but isn't it basically announcing you weren't good enough for the actual award? I guess I don't understand the point, as we're applying to be a GRFP fellow, not for some strange pat on the back from the NSF. Full disclosure: got HM and was pretty excited reading half of the first sentence of the NSF email, only to be pretty disappointed by reading on. ?
