So I'm confused then. I applied miramar and coast (which i obvi won't get). I will be guaranteed housing by the time I need to move-in, right? Or am I wrong? Also, they had told me that they randomly assign me a roommate unless I know of someone and we go in together? Is this also correct?

I just emailed them regarding my status, and they just hit me with a flat out rejection... wtf. :oops:

Anyone else call this afternoon/evening?

I don't see this "Follow Stats" thing... Is that bad? I wonder if they have even looked at it. Did any of the in-Limbo-ers get an email or anything saying they were still reviewing your application?

That's what we've been discussing for the last 10 pages.... I have gotten NO emails whatsoever regarding the NSF

Sounds like, by my gut instinct, that there rest of us in limbo will be getting HMs... Sucks.

After like 5 months after submitting my app, I am still waiting - and what the hell does an HM give you anyway?

I agree... They haven't granted any honorable mentions - chances are that we all fall into that category.

I'm too scared to call the number, anyone want to pretend they are me and call for me? :mrgreen:

Honestly, do they really have the funding to almost double the amount of awardees? That doesn't seem right...?

I never received an "in limbo" notice... Also, they haven't awarded any Honorable Mentions... Don't you think due to the shear number of those awarded HM's, that most of them will come in this second pool and very few actual full awards will be in this second pool? They've already given 950.... I can't imagine they'd add many more.

I'm doing graduate housing... Anyone worried about how to get a roommate blindly placed in your room (if you're doing 2-br)?

Hi, so here's my deal, and i may have acted to hastily... I'm pretty sure i'm going to UCSD. I will be bringing my car. I already applied for Miramar as my first choice, coast for my second and third. That said, which is the best location for someone who wants easy access to campus and other social activities. Additionally, is it a bad idea to put yourself in a 2-bedroom if you're going in blind for a roommate? I don't know anyone else going to UCSD but want to pay cheaper rent. Is this a bad idea? Lastly, should I consider another alternative knowing I do have a car?

Are there currently any fellowships for incoming graduate students whose deadlines haven't passed? Seems like most were in January, but are there any currently open?

I am 99% sure I will be attending for Bioengineering PhD Program... Can't wait for the so-cal weather!
