All the wacky dates this year gives me some hope that its a random thing in their system and not necessarily an indication of who will get the fellowship

Yeah I have the same dates as you. I was waitlisted last year and I thought my application got better so I'm not sure what to think of the dates. I have hope still haha

For anyone who is curious about what the dates mean I accidentally checked my application status from last year and it has a 2/1/21 update. Maybe they are reconsidering or the dates really don't mean anything ?

Haven't heard anything either. I sent an email asking for a general time we can expect to know for sure that we did or didn't get it but haven't gotten a response.

My guess is that we will find out on Friday. They'll know who accepted on Wednesday and then they will go through and pick from the wait list. But that's just my guess it could be mid May for all I know.

Long time lurker. Applied for ONR in EE and had a 2/28 and 4/16 update that I added to the google sheet. My best guess is the 4/16 update are the decisions being updated on each profile and that most of us will have a 4/16 update before the end of the day.
