I didn't get the fellowship; however, I feel good about my work. I am an undergrad from a marginalized background (POC, woman, LGBT, low-income, first gen), so I feel so happy to have submitted an application. I received scores of excellent for my research plan and was told that I had solid experience and the ability to do the proposed work, which feels really good. 
I wish everyone who did not receive the fellowship peace and those that did congratulations! 
 

Please allow yourself to feel however that is right now! Yet, this does not determine the greatness of your scholarship! I wish you luck on everything else in your journey

Yeah, it hurts a lot, especially since they have all but confirmed that we cannot apply again. However, it is very hard to put yourself out there in the first place, so you have to at least commend yourself for making the effort to apply despite the fear of rejection.
Best of luck on your future endeavors!

An honorable mention is still incredible so congratulations!! That's amazing and I hope schools recognize that. 

@Sunshine04 I'm sorry about UCI but UCF is amazing and that's a huge accomplishment ? congratulations!!

Well I didn’t get accepted into UCI but that’s okay. I will be attending UCF in the fall. Congratulations to everyone

Hi everyone! I posted on the other thread as well but I figured I'd contribute to this one as well! 
So far I've been accepted with funding to University of Cincinnati, ASU, FSU, USF, and Rutgers!!! I didn't get funding from George Mason but I did get accepted. I was waitlisted at SHSU but I withdrew my application today because it was my last choice and hopefully I can give my spot on the waitlist to someone else. I'm not waiting to hear back from anyone else so now it's decision making time on my end. 
GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE!!!!! 

I didn't get in to JJ PhD program, which is a let down, but that was a stretch and one of my professors for the LoR went MIA, but I got into University of Maryland! So now it's decision time between Northeastern University and University of Maryland! I hope everyone gets decisions soon!

Hey guys! Thought I would pitch in 
Applied: University of Cincinnati, ASU, Rutgers, FSU, USF, George Mason, SHSU
Accepted with funding: University of Cincinnati, ASU, Rutgers, FSU, USF
Accepted no funding: George Mason
Haven't heard back: SHSU

I just heard back from the University of Central Florida, and was accepted with funding. 

I have my interviews for JJ lined up for next week! However, I was just notified that I was rejected from Florida State University which was my dream school :( That's alright, everything happens for a reason! Will most likely be attending University of South Carolina's program!
 
Good luck to everyone else waiting for decisions and congrats to everyone who got into schools so far!!!

thank you @nerdyjilly !!!! and you never know about JJ honestly,I had a feeling they were gonna send the emails out not at once since 4 different people need to coordinate interviews and it's not as straightforward as having everyone come down for a weekend. Good luck and I'm so happy they reached out to you!!!
 
and good luck @Sunshine04! I really hope UCIrvine gets back to you with good news :))
