Anyone else "tentatively" heading to Taiwan?

Just got tentative offer for Taiwan as well.

There are two people in charge for the NSF EAPSI. If you contact the other lady, you won't all be swarming the same person. I contacted her 2 days ago via email and she emailed me back almost instantly. Taiwan invites should go out early next week.

Housing is not sparse (unless you are looking for cheap cheap places). Tons of places within 5-10minutes driving distance. There are some new places right on campus if you dont mind spending some more money (good if you dont have a car). What are you looking to spend/commute from?

Where did you hear this information from Pauli? Any word on Tawain?

Congrats! I'm getting nervous over here, waiting to hear from Tawian..

Any more acceptances yet?

Thanks for the info! I've been refreshing that non stop

Thanks for the information Pauli. I think the acceptances should follow the program dates (i.e. those locations which start earlier should arrive earlier, such as Australia (early June), than places like Taiwan (late June/early July). Also: did your proposal status change at the same time? (On NSF website under Proposal Status)?

Japan is usually first as mentioned above. If you review the 2013 Japan Handbook it states results will be known in February, with the sound that it takes the most time to coordinate (my guess).

I applied for Tawian and China but my application was geared towards the host in Tawian. I emailed NSF about 2 weeks ago, they said by early March we would hear "tentative" offers.

I did not want to post the entire review but I guess I should have because without the context some comments could go either way. I also spoke to a former reviewer about it and they said there isnt enough time to provide "detailed comments" but that it looks as if I should have received an award. Not sure what to say though. Regardless, I still feel the result should have ended up differently, too subjective in my opinion.

Can anyone comment on the following? IM/BI (CS Major, 2nd year) E/E E/VG E/E HM only no award. Reviews were all positive and no negatives (snippets below): The problem is important and clearly explained; the challenges are articulated. The applicant has demonstrated a strong record of success.
