Hi all, longtime gradcafe lurker here, first-time poster. Anyway, I got accepted for the NSF-GRFP for a Materials Science PhD but don't feel quite ready to celebrate because I haven't been accepted to grad school yet! I applied to 6 programs, was rejected from 2, and have yet to hear from the other 4. I emailed my top choice professor to let him know I'd won the award (I hadn't heard from that school yet) and he replied that he didn't think it was likely I'd be admitted. Has this happened to anyone? Any advice on who I should be contacting at the schools to "update" them about my status as a NSF-GRFP recipient? Thanks for any suggestions! Lisa
