Vice, your link isn't working for me. If it had this year's applicant number, do you remember approx. what it said?

I do be a man of peace, yet my anger doth be stirred when I do encounter pompous fools. There dost be those who doth need a remedy for actions which in the tongues of man art called stupid. That remedy dost be mine quarterstaff, for the foolishness of their actions art a bane to all mankind.
Very well - carry on!
P.S. Stop haunting my dreams.

Go to Fastlane, and click on the "Award Offers and Honorable Mention List." Now, look at the URL. It should end with "method=loadAwardeelist" (or this won't work). Now, delete the part that says "-beta." Make sure everything else stays the same.
If you did this right, you should find the lost land of the 2008 winners.
Nice. I tried combining this with adding the "2009" option to the drop-down box using Firebug. The list is apparently not up yet, but I was able to download a quasi-empty Excel file with "one applicant"'s information. (Actually the applicant was just the header - Name, Bacc Inst., etc.). Happy waiting!
Dudes, I had this crazy dream last night. I think it may have been a premonition. NSF had posted their results and...well I made you another comic.

But what it really means is that someone from Arkansas is more likely to get funding than someone from California with equal quality of application.
Is Arkansas the new North Dakota? On a scale where 10 is educated yuppieville and 1 is bumble---k, I would have given it at least a 4. Why no love for Arkansas?
So, does it go by high school location, where you currently are or where school is? If you are in grad school already does it go by permanent address or school address?It is only by high school location and not by permanent residence or school address.

Hi plisar, if you're still around, do you have any insights about the number of awards this year based on your list? Double the usual number or roughly what you expected? There's been speculation about giving as many as 75% more awards this year as you may know.
Almost 5PM ET...time to wrassle up some jiffypop and kick back

You're all delusional for thinking this downtime is a good sign. They're probably beefing up security so the rating sheets and award announcements stop leaking out. Such leaks were the best thing you could have hoped for in the next three days, since the awardee list hasn't reached the GRF operations center yet. And now the leakage will cease :/ Terrific.
They couldn't be THAT out-of-sync with our needs.That's rich.

i didn't learn anything exciting about notification dates when i called today, but i did find out that if you were determined to be ineligible you would have been notified of that already. so, if you haven't heard anything about being ineligible for the award, you must have passed that test! phew.

I called up mit eecs grad admissions and my request actually moved up the chain 3 times. It was funny. The first lady said they don't change the decision once its made, then she asked me what fellowship and I said ndseg and she said hold on let me talk to my boss. Same thing happened with the next lady, finally the third person said no.
I e-mailed the professor there who had asked a professor of mine about me and has similar research interests to my own. She didn't respond to my e-mail in the past so I won't be shocked if she doesn't again.
Hi finest,
Sorry to hear they didn't change their minds! It sounds like you got a secretary or something who didn't know what they were talking about. I think you did the right thing e-mailing the professor too because they have a lot more leverage. I would keep trying with other schools if MIT fails...really, I think the fellowship will make a difference! It kinda sucks to put yourself out on a limb like this, but there's a lot to be gained if you are interested in those departments.
We're all rooting for you!

^^this. I have good statistics, a pub in the pipeline and my recommenders are academy members, so it's just up to me to sell myself. And I did make spelling/grammar mistakes. And I did accept a dare to include the word "testes" in my proposal...on yeast. "Ballsy," I know.
