Waaagh?

Guess I stand corrected.

wait a minute...

Would be surprising if he were trolling considering his past level of participation.

Their retroactive disclaimer to losing your application because of a clunky system.

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.

Anyone got any jokes? Here is a good one: I don't like stairs. They're always up to something! Ha!

Okay im not going to lie, I swear it changed from red to bright gold too.

I think the dates mean nothing. I had trouble with the application deleting half my stuff very very early on. So I emailed them and some guy told me the software does bizarre stuff and to get used to it. I know someone else in my position who won the GRFP with an october update and nothing else so I'm inclined to believe that this is a Rorschach test for the unsuspecting.

Everyone seems to have glossed over my October 22 update....October gang anyone?

I submitted my application way back in october, never got a validation email only the initial one, and was a finalist last year. The date indeed has not changed from 10/22. So either they lost my application behind a dumpster or I didnt make. Or option 3, this website has already been doing bizarre things and perhaps the dates are yet another.
