Still no rejection here either. I mean, I know its coming mind you, it just hasnt arrived lol

Yeah, they just posted a similar statement on facebook "The NDSEG Program Office has issued all preliminary award notifications. All other applicants who are selected for additional awards will be notified as soon as possible. Once the 200 awards limit has been reached, all applicants will be notified of their final status in the 2012 NDSEG competition. Please feel free to follow up with ndseg@asee.org should you have any additional questions. Thank you."

I agree with a comment someone made many pages back: basically, the awarding agencies are like college students, waiting til the last minute then rushing to get the results out to people. If they couldn't definitely get us the results by april 15th, they should've said a later date, then surprised us with earlier results if they came in. And it should all be at one time, not some people getting notifications and others not getting anything. For some of us (me included) this dictates the direction the following year(s) will go and getting ulcers waiting to make other decisions is not a good thing. I already figure I don't have the fellowship, but it would be nice to get a definite yes or no so I could move on.

Well I have libations on hand tonight, think the stress has surely gotten me down. Congrats to those who have already been awarded. Let's hope theres still some good luck floating around for the rest of us. I still can't log it, it says my password/email are incorrect. Thinking thats a bad omen But everything happens for a reason right?

Yeah I got on there and was still logged in but nothing showed up. So, I logged out and now it won't let me log in again. At this rate, it'll be sunday before we hear anything. Here's hoping it'll be before then, because I dont think I'm going to get anything done this weekend with this still looming overhead..

Yes there will be some drinking, either to celebrate or drown our sorrows, right? I think we shouldve started a club and had a party or somethin at the end of this funding gauntlet. Waiting on application results sucks....

Could be that they wiped the system and new log in info will be sent along with the email? Just a thought.

I can't log in either :,( maybe theres still hope...right? Let us know if anyone else can log in

Hahaha.....we're such idiots. Why are we stressin over this? lol ridiculous the things grad students do to themselves............

Ruby stuff is no longer showing up. Im getting a message that says 2012 award system is not yet open.

Yeah, I just tried to get on to the ASEE award site and am also getting the weird ruby on rails thing. Obviously, things are in the works. I wish they'd just send us the freakin emails and be done with the anxiety!

Judging by the forum from last year, it looks like they sent out emails in waves. I don't believe there is a set time (of course, they wouldn't tell us if there was in fear that those not getting an email right at that time would result in massive phone calls, emails, etc). Is it sad I am now literally having dreams about checking my email and getting results? *sigh*

Haha that would be ironically perfect. In fact, Im figuring we won't hear anything til then anyways....

Sadly, same here. Doubt I get it, but would like to know so I can make/solidify plans for the coming funding year. If I don't get it, I'll probably be trying for the Air Force scholarship (though I dont really want to be indebted to service for years after graduation)......

I agree they should email it. Im glad I added them on my FB and now check daily to see if they have posted any updates. Still, since I'm ocd about checking my email this week, would be much better just to get those updates in my inbox. I'll continue to repost the updates they put on FB if anyone wants me to.
