Haha I guess it was! I'm not sure about the deadlines. The email I got didn't say much other than that I would be getting a packet by next week with all of the details.
I got my pre-doc acceptance notification today at around 12:30pm. It seems like yesterday they sent out the rejects/HMs/Alternates and ran out of time to send the acceptances as well. Since I got an NSF fellowship and a fellowship from the university I currently plan to attend I'll probably decline this one, so if there are any alternates in computer science on here, you have some hope .
