Tomorrow is the deadline to accept NSF! I wanted to know for sure I wouldn't get this fellowship before accepting the NSF
I just don't get it. Their yield rate couldn't possibly be bellow 50%, so they really shouldn't need to offer it out to more than 400 people. They could play it safe and offer 200 then have 300 people on the waitlist, but that would still let them reject 2500 other applicants.
Sorry for the rant...
