Do we pay for student health insurance using the stipend from NSF GRFP or the university covers it for us as a fellow? To any current/former fellows, please let me know.

Hello fellow grad students, I am also heading to Cornell for PhD in math. I submitted my response in late March and I've recently received my netID, like a week ago! Also I will be in Maplewood, stress-free for first year housing

So it is a possible plan. You can't apply for DOE CSGF if you are on another major fellowship. But the trick works for NSF GRFP and NDSEG, that is to apply on your second year and if you are awarded, then cancel your current fellowship and will have your new fellowship for the next three years . I hope both NDSEG and NSF do not read this

I would follow the MONEY . So +1 for DOE.

' Just email NDSEG, they'll tell you what to do.

Comparing to your GRE scores, mines are much worse. V: 146 (31%), Q: 164 (91%), W: 2.5 (4%). But hey I still win a national fellowship (NDSEG). So I don't think GRE is a deciding factor in fellowship applications as you can tell. I am still in shock that I got the fellowship given how competitive it is.

You were right. It opened but is now closed. They were updating I think.

Well, at the end of year 2 of NDSEG I will just cancel, not defer, the fellowship given that I get the NSF. I am kinda lazy too, my future grad school actually offers me an additional fellowship for my fourth year (equal the amount of NDSEG). On the other hand, it's kinda nice to also win the NSF GRFP

I am in some way having a similar question. I am a recipient of 2012 NDSEG and will start my PhD in fall 2012. Can I apply for NSF GRFP beginning of my second year while on NDSEG fellowship? I plan to if receiving NSF GRFP, I will stop NDSEG and switch to NSF GRFP. What do you think? This way I will have five years of fellowship

I am on the same boat as you are. But I will only tank one graduate course, either B or C. I don't think it matters to me now. However, I thought differently a couple weeks ago. A couple weeks ago, I did not get two out of three fellowships that I applied (these two are less competitive than the third waiting one, but the first two themselves are crazily competitive). So i thought I had no chance of getting the third one. Then I was thinking of what if I apply next year and my grade looks bad with B or C in graduate courses. I was sweating. Luckily more than a week ago, I found out that I won the third fellowship that I applied for (most prestige and most money out of the three so fuk YEAH!). So now I don't mind of getting bad grades as long as I don't fail it. If I do fail, I wouldn't matter much I think. I am all set for graduate school now! So the moral of my story is that if you are going to use your undergraduate transcripts for future applications then try to get your grades up as much as possible. My little 2 cents.

Please be advised.

applied to all phd programs: 4 acceptances, 9 rejections including my dream school. But overal, i am very satisfied with my results. Do you?
