  1. Congrats isanewton! I just got the rejection letter 20 min ago (8:30am PST)
  2. Yeah they were using a non-Embark system then so it must have been hard to keep track of everything. Good luck to everyone!!
  3. @TallLatte, I applied and haven't received any confirmation email. I've applied to this one before, and I got the rejection email Jan 4th 2013 for last year's cycle, and the previous year, nothing at all =\
  4. Hi everyone, Thank you for creating such an awesome community of PhD students. I've benefitted so much from everyone's advice and links to resources. But it seems that all the fellowship resources out there only have the successful applications and not the failed ones, and I think we can learn from each other's failures, too. So I've posted all twelve (6 for two cycles, 2011-2012, 2012-2013) of my PhD fellowship applications: http://blog.olgabotvinnik.com/post/49146275949/how-to-fail-and-sometimes-win-at-graduate-fellowships And I hope many more of you will do the same. Thanks, Olga

    Congrats to the winners! Is it time to lose hope? It'd be helpful to see last names/locations of the winners. I'm on the west coast, last name B, so maybe they're waiting until it's past 9am to call. I hope...

    CSGF for sure. NDSEG - 3 years - 30.5k, 31k, 31.5k stipend CSGF - Renewable to 4 years - have to do a 12 week internship - 36k stipend - 5k 'academic allowance' for first year (conferences, technology, etc), 1k each year afterwards - restricts you to at most one TA-ship - fellowship conferences The CSGF takes away a summer from you to do an internship, but it's a lot more money and you get to network with other computationally minded peers.

    No hint at what stage, they just said "We will notify all applicants by mid-April, so sometime in the next week"

    I called them today and asked if we'd hear before April 17th (deadline to respond for NDSEG) and she said yes.
  10. Applied this year, I haven't heard from them.
  11. Congrats on getting both! I got the NDSEG too (couldn't apply for NSF cause I have an MS) NDSEG is more money and more prestigious (~7% acceptance rate, NSF is ~15%) but the NDSEG team seems to really not like deferrals since they don't even have that option in their offer, only accept/decline, and they specifically state that it cannot be deferred. So my recommendation would be to email the NDSEG people just in case and see if they will let you defer, otherwise take the NSF, but make sure to say "NDSEG Fellowship 2012-2013 (deferred)" on your CV so people know how awesome you are.
  12. Awarded the fellowship, in biosciences (Bioinformatics, single cell genomics) So there's hope for biology!!
  13. I got rejected yesterday. Really long rejection letter...
  14. Hi, I worked in Boston (Broad Institute) for a year after undergrad and am attending UCSD in the fall. BU's connection to the Broad is pretty amazing, but there's only a few faculty that you can take advantage of there. UCSD is overall well-respected in Bioinformatics and has much deeper program than BU. I'd suggest talking to your PI about this. What kind of job do you see yourself doing? I told my PI that I wanted her job and she said I should go to UCSD. For reference, I was deciding between UCSF Bioinformatics, Cornell Tri-institutional Computational Biology and Medicine, and UCSD. Good luck!
