blargh

okay, so i know i have a really small chance of getting the grf, but i was so anxious about hearing back that i don't know what to do with myself until then. except distract myself. a lot. how sad.

i agree here. also sweet comic.

thanks for letting us know. in that case, i'm out for now ...

has anyone contacted grfp today about when they think they'll post the results?

it says so on the website when you check you app status. 2009 Application Package Status for [blargh] Status will be updated daily after 2AM. of course i'm not for sure; i was just suggesting it might be a possibility.

so apparently the "status" of the application (well, whether it's complete) is updating at 2 am (i'm guessing either eastern or pacific?) maybe they will magically put up the results then.

do you mean grad or undergrad schools?

haha, i would do that too! but i wouldn't do the first part. also, we're in the same field (neuro?), cool

i actually wouldn't try this but that's just me... i wouldn't want to eff up the system too much or inadvertently accept stuff.

yeah ... seriously .... between this and studying for my comprehensive exam ... the ridiculousness is increasing by the day.

i don't understand what you're saying :/ this could be why i don't like reading shakespeare...

congratulations to you!

me too. it's in an html comment though. i don't know if it's that important.

wow ... i'm actually pretty impressed by some of the attention to detail on this board. like the thing about fellows vs. applicants. dang.

i do know someone who got an nsf with a relatively low gpa. last year i got HM and i only have a 3.0 gpa (although from a school with low grade inflation) it really depends on your potential to be a good scientist i think. which can often be demonstrated by publications, good references, a solid reserach proposal, etc.

hey - i've been reading all of these posts to keep myself entertained. guess i'll have to actually do work for the rest of the day though as i assume the nsf is a 9-to-5ish kind of place. good luck everyone!
