YYYEEEESSSSS!!!!!!!!!! I was 4/17 and selected!!!! Thanks to everyone in the chat it was very entertaining and kept me from doing anything else besides hitting refresh the past few days. To those who didn't get it best of luck in the future. There were obviously many qualified people on the google doc who had higher GRE and GPAs that did not get it. My advice is keep working hard and it will eventually work out. I was rejected my first round of grad school and got into a master's by a fluke at the last second, two years later I got into the grad school I was rejected from. I applied to multiple fellowships along the way and never got any until now. Ahhhhh I am super excited, I've been TAing for the last 4 years (2 in masters and 2 in PhD) so this was a huge relief especially since my adviser emailed me yesterday saying that he didn't have the money and I would have to TA another year.

When do the NSF GRFP people need to accept the award by?

ARO

Mine was also just updated today 4/16. On this Bob Ross guy I think it is safe to say he is either a huge Bob Ross fan and is using it as a pseudo name or he hates Bob Ross because people probably tell him everyday "Oh my gosh your name is Bob Ross just like the painter on TV"

Long time lurker here been following this thread for a while now. Will no notification yesterday could that just be the DoD selecting awardees and now sysplus has 14 days more to notify us. Sorry for the possible bad news.
