The Dreaded One

i didnt get the predoctoral fellowship either. congratulations to those that did!

Thanks. I emailed them and they explained that me

I checked the online application a few minutes ago and under my personal information it said "Honorable Mention List? Yes." I guess that may be a way to find out before they send out the notifications. I just wonder if that means you only got honorable mention or you may have actually gotten the fellowship. Also, I've been hearing about an "alternate status." Which is better, being an alternate or getting honorable mention?
