Did you get funding? Who did you email?

Anyone hear from MIT Civil yet for masters (not transportation)?

I can confirm that Harvard has sent at least one offer. My flatmate's friend got the call yesterday.

I got 4.5 AWA and 610 Verbal, but still got an award after submitting my scores (800Q though). I think you read too much into it. Hammer home the broader impacts in a creative proposal and you will have a great chance at getting an award. I also second the advice about learning from your reviews. I definitely did this (I was HM last year...)

I don't think they posted any in Nuclear Physics... which is the field of one of my friends... so I'm hopeful for those folks...

I was just woken up by a friend who told me I got it! Can't believe it! Now the next 5 days are going to be interesting...

Perhaps they've changed the order of things... last year people first saw the letter on login, then the list was posted, then emails came... the list was posted overnight last year, and I first saw it at 6 am after not seeing it when I went to bed around midnight... maybe they are posting the list tonight? Unsubstantiated hope...

Haha, why shit? This is exactly what they said would happen...

11:05 fastlane still up nothing new...

I guarantee there is more than one.

What if you are changing fields? I.e. did a master's in Stats, but now applying to do PhD in Econ or something like that... it's hardly fair to compare those people to 1st PhD students in Econ or to senior undergrads...

25 minutes of silence... it is not comforting...

I'm dubious of a one time poster. I'll believe it when someone who has been on here longer confirms.

Everyone's mothers are smarmy, self-entitled pricks.

I love your handle, btw

Not true. It went down Sunday night intermittently

Does it work for you?

It seems like it might be more efficient for GRFP to use machine messages rather than having people answer the phones at this time of year. They give more or less canned answers, and everyone is asking the same question. The money they spend on call center personnel could be used on a couple more fellowships!

touche...

This will not help our cause- trust me on this one...

What will that solve? We could just wait an hour and see what happens...

I'm not gonna bother the call center... but gosh I hope you are correct...

I love it! Very soon could me anything from the next 10 minutes to Friday evening...

2008 winners went back up yesterday morning for me.
