If someone turns down a fellowship b/c they were awarded multiple federal fellowships, does the NSF bump up HMs to awards or just not fill the vacancy?

second year grad student... Second HM (analytical chemistry)... this year I got VG/VG, VG/E, VG/VG... 3.9 undergrad and 3.9 grad GPA, 2 publications, solids GREs. I really thought I had great broader impacts all around, but only 1 reviewer felt strongly about that
Here's to hoping for DOE or NDSEG! -
What is the 800 number people have been calling? I haven't gotten an e-mail response and it's been a few days.
And just wondering - what are other limbo people seeing when they log into fastlane? I still just see "Welcome Applicant" with no tasks in the task list.
Mine shows up as "Welcome Limboer"

Just curious

I'm in limbo and probably will get an HM or no award I assume. I'm looking for someone in Chemistry (not analytical so I don't help you beat me too much!) to do a really thorough job with me in reviewing each other's application (specifically essays and coming up with ideas on how to improve for next year). I'm very good at proof-reading and technical writing and feel like I have a really strong grasp of what the NSF wants to see.
I'll be a second year grad student next year, so someone in the same position in the field of Chemistry would be great.
Other than analytical, I'm most knowledgeable about divisions in the following order (from strongest to weakest):
Inorganic
Organic
Physical
Bio-related
PM me if you're interested!

an NSF hopeful/pirate walks into a bar with a steering wheel in his crotch...
the bartender says "you know you got a steering wheel in your crotch, right?"
the NSF hopeful, so depressed from waiting, ignores the comment.
the bartender later gets to talking with the student/pirate and asks if the wait for the fellowship is bothering him.
the student replies "ARRRRRRRRRRRGH!!! IT'S DRIVIN ME NUTS!"

So priketh him nature in hir corages
Thanne longen folk to goon on pilrymagges
And Palmeres for to seeken straunge strondes
To ferne halwes kouthe in sondry londes
And specially from euery shyres ende
Of Engelond to Caunterbury they wende
The holy blisful martir for to seke
That hem hath holpen whan at they weere seeke.

I definitely thought this sentence:
"NDSEG is very competitive and there were many more qualified applicants than could be funded"
was going to read...
"NDSEG is very competitive and there were many more qualified applicants than you"
Still have the NSF hope alive...

I'm a first-year grad student applying for the NSF. If I don't get it this year, does anyone know if I can apply again next year?
It was a bit confusing how they worded who is eligible (I interpreted it to mean I could not apply next year). However, an NSF reviewer I know told me I should be able to apply as a second year grad student for the last time.

Does anyone know if the e-mails will be sent at 12:01 AM or if we'll have to wait until during the day?

Just got my "Finalist" e-mail... Quick, let me go run and add that to my two NSF GRFP Honorable Mentions on my resume...
