I haven't gotten any update since 12/1/2023... Still holding out that those updates mentioned were just people getting assigned to reviewers and hopefully mine will be updated soon. Really hope they don't just do desk rejections...

I am pretty sure reviews are probably just starting or haven’t even started yet. On the panelist tab it says: Panelist review approximately 20 applications via the DoD NDSEG FM Web Application in late January to early February. The application consists of the basic application-contact information along with a 3-page proposal, a 1-page personal statement, 3 references, transcripts, and GRE scores. My guess would be the December updates were after checking all the PII requirements.

I wouldn’t bank on anything from last years thread being a useful or accurate timeline. They have switched back to a different system they haven’t used in the past two application cycles. The email I got after I submitted my app said they will release results on March 31, 2024.

I did SMART as an undergrad. I wouldn’t recommend it for a PhD… google SMART scholarship forum and you’ll find a lot of info about people’s experiences.

Anyone hear back from emailing NDSEG? I saw NSF GRFP came out today. Good luck to all those who applied 🥰

I think we will probably hear by the end of next week! Results were all out by the 31st last year. I think I got my rejection on April 1 but it came late.

This is also what I have

I also have the 93.75% thing. Lol

Just got the update that I moved onto the second round today.

Just got another update: Jan 12

I meant to reference this comment in my last post. I don't know why NDSEG always has such a hard time communicating with applicants. I didn't even find out I was rejected last year until well after everyone else had received information.

I got this email. I am so confused. Everything I turned in was anonymized.

Mine says the same.

Just kidding: found it. VG/E E/E G/G - not awarded. Why did reviewer 3 come for me like this?

Am I dumb? How to I see the reviews?

According to past years data seems like it could really be like any time: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1LaF7o1oBPHAbVkxuHtAH7MeGDs7qsc_xZoB-Kijn4II/edit?usp=sharing From other comments here it seems like the emails with results get sent later.

I did this last week… gave me too much trauma. Never again.

Why did I open this thread I was having such a peaceful anxiety free weekend!

I'm wondering the same.... Did they just not take any physics people?

Damn I must be really being ignored because I haven't even gotten the rejection. Lmao

Anyone receive the rejection note yet?

Seriously! I don't know if it's because of the new folks running the program or if it's just the government being the government but it's taking forever.

You’re a king/queen ❤️
