For those of us that were rejected, does anyone know if we'll be told what round we got cut in? Last year it was on the application portal. Though I suppose I can make an educated guess from my last update time...

Welp RIP. Congrats if you got selected though

Haha, I have been amused at your constant attempts to make decembergang a thing. I appreciate the invite, but I'm gonna have to pass. Best of luck though. I hope meeting up works out and everything!

I did my undergrad in socal (Harvey Mudd), does that qualify me for the socal gang? #decembergangsocalgang?

I collaborated with 6 other people on our NSF applications. 4 of then got the fellowship and 2 got HM, but I got nothing. I am the black sheep already, and I'm just scrambling for something to un-black-sheepify me...

I would not agree with this, except for the fact that there are so many CS people that just like... got cut the first round (according to the most common theorized significance of the dates). I don't think they'd do that, and I don't think our sample is that bad, right...? Or maybe the updates mean nothing. I don't know. DoD please put me out of my misery

Decided to un-lurk myself. Watching this thread has been super great. Thanks to everyone in the #decembergang, and special shout out to all the CS people in the #decembergang, because it feels like there are so many of us ? Whatever happens today, I appreciate y'all/yins, rejected, accepted, or otherwise!
