I'm sorry math123 It must be quite a blow. I'm mentally preparing myself for that feeling.

I know, instead of immediately rushing to change my password when I saw people's comments earlier on, I hesitated. For a moment, I wasn't sure if I wanted to find out early (also not being sure between HM and the award if there were 3 reviews) Well, I guess more waiting commences.

Is this the first time you've applied, or had you been given a username before?

What I don't get is if these people are so earnest about keeping people updated on the forum about acceptance/rejection, why haven't they come to this thread yet to let us know what's going on? This is the main thread for the 2009 NSF GRFP right?

I just had a thought: What if our incessant logging on actually impedes the updating process for our individual accounts?

Great, I know I won't be sleeping well tonight.

You're right, mine's not either.

Whoa yeah, what is this?

Ahh!! What do you mean? How did it look before?

I don't suppose there's a waitlist for the NSF fellowship?

I wonder how many people applied this year.

Does this mean that fastlane has the information even before they do? Maybe we should be calling Fastlane instead and pester them!

My guess would be the beginning of next week as much as I hope it will be sooner. Maybe next Monday or Tuesday.

Hm, well to those of you who called, thanks for keeping us updated. I didn't really start getting anxious until I found this forum and started refreshing to see if anyone else has news. I guess ignorance is bliss.

Hi Everyone, I'm not sure if someone has already posted these links, but I found them while browsing about how many awards will be granted this year: NSF Graduate Research Fellowships: Expect The Numbers to Grow: http://blogs.sciencemag.org/sciencecare ... te-re.html NSF Fellowships Called Powerful Tool for Building the Pipeline: http://www.sciencemag.org/cgi/content/f ... /5869/1477 Granted, they're from March 2008, but if they were already considering upping the budget, hopefully that means with the stimulus package, there'll definitely be more awards to go around this year!
