  1. Sorry, what? I mean, I know that you won and we didn't, but you just said that in the DoD funded, DoD selected fellowship we shouldn't target the DoD? "National Defense Science and Engineering Graduate (NDSEG) Fellowships are awarded to applicants who will pursue a doctoral degree in, or closely related to, an area of DoD interest within one of the fifteen following disciplines...etc, etc, etc." "The DoD then selects applicants to receive NDSEG Fellowships based on an assessment of the applicants’ academic ability in fields of interest to the DoD. Selection of awardees is made by the Army Research Office, Office of Naval Research, Air Force Office of Scientific Research, and the High Performance Computing Modernization Program. Each agency directly monitors the awards conferred to fellows in discipline areas closely related to its mission." I interpreted that to mean my proposal should target the DoD. Can you further explain your reasoning for not targeting the DoD?
  2. So...since there are 6 minutes to 5 PM Eastern...thoughts on whether the ASEE employees will stay late to get the results out? (this is more polite than the first way I wanted to phrase it)
  3. Rejection or no I just want to be notified so that I can get back to my other obligations sans distractions.
  4. Does this feel like Friday all over again to anyone else?
  5. I agree with you in principle, it's just easier said than done.
  6. Actually I think fortytwo is aero, though he did say that his stuff was computational. No EE awards that I recall though...
  7. I'm not a fan of the "supposed to go out Tuesday" idea simply because it means we won't hear on Monday...
  8. Cats (Catalinas) are nice enough and much cheaper than the surrounding area. Safe choice for a first year as it can take a while to find good, affordable housing close to campus. That said, check out places4students if you want a small selection of other properties available around the campus.
  9. For the purposes of this post, assume the above are not faked (I agree with jendoly, if it is faked, wow, that's a lot of effort). It was suggested that perhaps the results were being sent out by area of study, but then there was the result of 1, and only 1 aero award. It was then suggested that perhaps only awards from certain sponsors were being sent out, though overall the number of results seemed low. I just looked over the distribution of awards by area of study and sponsor and what occurs to me is this: though the Army, Navy and Air Force sponsor quite a few (~60 each), there is a fourth sponsor - the High Performance Computing Modernization Office. They sponsor on the order of 10 awards each year, and, despite their name, sponsor awards in a variety of fields. Perhaps they were the only office to get their list in on time? Did we ever get confirmation that a full list was received, or just a vague promise from the NDSEG that "results would be released"?
  10. I know the thread has moved to happier topics of wind tunnels and missing advisers, but I see that in the few hours I was gone the situation has not improved. Just out of curiosity, for those that know the history of such things better than I, has a fellowship result ever been released on a Saturday? I know that NDSEG hasn't for the last three years, but I don't know about before that, or about NSF or SMART.
  11. So....at point do we give up for the day?
