I'm one of the IFA accepted people. Even though there's no funding for the year (there very rarely is anyway, ask anyone who has ever gone there), the travel money is an awesome perk and it's looks like a great program.
Yesterday I got an email that said congratulations, etc with a copy of the letter that they said they put in the mail the day before. No word on how many people were offered admission but it did say that, "The competition has never been higher". Opening it at work caused quite a bit of commotion...
