I'm surprised by this given how many students got their acceptance notifications at the same time, it doesn't seem to be on an app by app basis?

is there any chance the acceptances are going out in two batches?

@indy101, I do, that means we did not get awarded

I'm fairly confident those with the Start button have been awarded the fellowship, as its the same exact layout that awardees last year had, but still holding hope I guess

well, congrats @fellowshipstress!!!! the rest of us who didn't get the start button, we will try again next year I guess!

for those of us who don't have the Start Button, I guess it means we didn't get ndseg

that means you got it, I think! from last year, that is what accepted fellows portal looked like. (

oh wow @coughcoughcoffeethat's SO low ... keeping hopes super low then I guess

What percentage of those who make it to 2nd Round Reviews DOD Panel usually get the fellowship? DO people know or have statistics?

Have people gotten that Status: 2nd Round Reviews update yet?

It does? Where does it say this? And what does end of review period mean? I thought they don't find out who the fellowship winners are until like march

another update -Jan 4 2023 05:17 PM (EST) that means, in summary ... Dec 19 2022 08:02 PM --> Dec 20 2022 07:29 PM (EST) --> Jan 1 2023 12:00 PM (EST) --> Jan 4 2023 05:17 PM (EST)

my Jan 1 update was at exactly 12:00 which makes me think it was automated somehow

I just got a new update - Jan 1 2023 12:00 PM (EST) ... overall: Dec 19 2022 08:02 PM, Dec 20 2022 07:29 PM (EST), Jan 1 2023 12:00 PM (EST) I don't know what this means or implies? Did anyone else get a Jan1 update?

Where do you see what stage you are at?

After previously saying mine was edited Monday at Last edited: Dec 19 2022 08:02 PM (EST). , it now says it was edited Tuesday Last edited: Dec 20 2022 07:29 PM (EST) ... twice in two days? this feels like a bad sign according to the whole "December gang" thing people are writing about

I'm sure they're just doing it on a rolling basis by which DoD branch you applied to (I did AFOSR) - mine was edited at 8 PM last night, so I'm guessing there's someone working from home who's just slowly chugging through it lol

are you guys seeing this last edited date on the Activity Pane? Nothing has been edited on my Activity Pane, but when you go to "Preview Application", it says Last edited: Dec 19 2022 08:02 PM (EST). Not sure if this is the same? (I applied for AFOSR Computer Science - @dirichletpriordid yours change too?)

applied to mit eecs phd this cycle! Figured I'd make a thread so people can post interviews, notifications, etc.
