Has this happened to anyone where you got an HM in undergrad but nothing (not recommended, not even HM) in grad school? I had a crappy application (it's cringeworthy) from undergrad prepared in a few weeks whereas in grad school I worked months on it for a more polished app and didn't get anything because I was tanked by a reviewer who clearly didn't read my proposal/misinterpreted it. (Like stringing words from my app together in ways that don't make sense...). My first two reviews were awesome (they wrote lengthy paragraphs with positive and honest critical feedback which I didn't expect at all) and I had a comment that highly recommended me for the fellowship from one reviewer, but my overall app was tanked by the last reviewer who clearly didn't read my proposal ☹️.
I wish they had a better system to remove reviewers who clearly aren't reading the proposal because it ruins the competition. Or a better way to efficiently go through the apps, perhaps they could have 2 reviewers give one review to an app collectively instead of doing things individually? At least just write little if you don't care but don't just write falsified made-up nonsense.
