I wouldn't focus on it until after May 7 (the deadline to accept/decline an award). Having looked through this thread previously, I know that I and a couple of other people are declining our awards, so there is definitely still hope! Please don't stress over it though for the time being, it'll make you go crazy (and we need you functioning on all gears so that you can do your amazing research )

Thanks so much, I really appreciate it! I'm actually quite surprised myself with the ranking, I kinda feel like these awards just judge you based off of how many prior publications you have, which is tough when you're trying to get your foot in the door. I remember when I applied for CGS-M in 2015, with no publications, 1st year of my Master's and fresh out of undergrad and was rejected outright. Took a lot to get the publications that gave me the boost. To those who didn't get it, please don't give up!

Received CGS-D from 187 about an hour ago (only checked an hour ago, could have been earlier). Ranked 2/227. Will have to decline unfortunately for personal reasons, hopefully it goes to someone else who can do some awesome molbio research with it! Good luck everyone!
