I didn’t get the fellowship
I’m really sad because the professor whose lab I wanted to join at one school that I could really see myself at isn’t recruiting students next year and I was hoping that he might have been willing to take me if I got the fellowship. Now my grad school decision became that much harder. I so wish that this person was recruiting...
I guess I have to tell my lab mates that helped me with my application too, I so wanted to tell them that I had been successful...
I see where you're coming from. I had so many people helping me on this from across the country such as postdocs of my PIs collaborators but I've learned a great deal. Are you able to accept an offer with funding at least?

I got VG/G, VG/VG, VG/VG, not recommended. I was praised in reviews but received some valid criticism mainly on intellectual merit. My proposal combined sex selection and molecular physiology in bats and they wanted to see more integration of evolutionary approaches to solidify my hypotheses.

Just wanted to say thanks to everyone for commiserating with me these couple of few weeks. I genuinely hope each of you get the fellowship!
Yes! and it would be cool if we stayed on here to address our comments by reviewers. It might suck if it's less than great feedback but we can give each other tips.

There still might be a shot that it's tonight. PLEASE!!

Wait, but isn’t this suggesting that at lower page counts that the results are released earlier? So we should all stop posting if we want the results? ?
Technically that just means the more time it takes to release results = more time to post and speculate lol. But I'm down to quit speculating so I can stop wasting my time worrying about this ?

LOL same. I missed a delta... but oops.
I said 'lectin' microarray instead of 'leptin'. I honestly don't know where that came from.

I'm honestly excited to see what happens. If anything it was a good exercise as an undergrad! I did just notice a typo in one of my methods on mine so there's that ? It'll be nice to finally be able to focus at work though. I highly doubt it's tonight but I'm still on edge.

clarification/asked question
It seems like my reviewers really liked my application too, but I think they fixated a little on my lower GPA(3.25)/change of major. I did manage a 360 and even have a publication that's been accepted first semester out of undergrad, so I will keep on trying and reapply for my second year of grad school! The new institution I'm going to for my PhD will give me many opportunities.
*Edit
I want to clarify that I applied as an undergrad and will be starting grad this fall. Is it a good idea to wait until 2023 to start my next application? By then I believe I'll have a good grasp on my project.
