how likely will this new update on fastlane today be them putting up the results? I just want to gage the importance of the update and that people are getting results from NSF now...

it's the html encoding. using internet explorer you can click on "Page" and then "View Source."

Welcome Fellows --> Does everyone have both of these?

sorry to ask a stupid question, but had I logged in when they were up (as a first time applicant), would the ratings sheets been on the fastlane "home page" for my application?

that has been there for a while...

What is early April? Wednesday? Friday? A week from today? This is torture.

lol.. not an oracle at all.

.

I would email the grad coordinator if you really want your answer before they send out the notifications. I'm pretty sure they've made all of their decisions by now.

I always address a professor from a prospective school as "Dr. 'Surname'" because I don't have a relationship with them enough to feel comfortable with a first name address. Just me though... do what you like

based on results from previous years, UPenn won't be out until the first week of March.

This is going to sound silly, but how does one dress? Suit? Jeans? Business Casual? Beach attire?

I am still an undergrad, so if I can take another 2 days off from school I might be going! My professors are getting less tolerant. The day after I got accepted (2/11) via phone, there was a letter of acceptance up on the application page.

I got two large envelopes today, one from the GS and one from the department. Funding - 20,500/five years, Visit day is April 1-2.

citations as to where I heard this? Two faculty at my institution were on review panels this last weekend. They both told me this and that the reviewers were thrilled that they could offer more awards this year. Is that a good enough citation?

apparently, NSF got a big bump from the stimulus. So they are not going to skimp on funding this year!! yay!

That's what my email from Stanford said. Crazy economic times. I think the Bay area is out for me now. yikes!

waitlisted. =/ This admission process has been so strange!

I got a call today, accepted with a 5 year fellowship. (I'm the second result for 2/17). So I don't think it's fake.

Who got the call? Any info to share?

21 ... to be 22 when i enter programs.

I got in. 23k. woot.

First rejection! ! saw this one coming. breathe and move on.

Who heard from Princeton this morning? Are you east coast?

Nothing until end of March. Last year they didn't tell some people until the beginning of April. GAH! Isn't it nuts that the decision is just floating out there?
