I think last year they were true to their word in that all awardees were notified by the end of April, but some rejections didn't go out until later -- they don't say anything about when those notifications will be made. I got mine in mid-May last year. But last year by this time, lots of rejections had already been received. I'm not sure about awards. The year before that, no one heard anything until they updated the website on May 5th to say that it would take until the end of May (which I know from stalking this page and previous ones last year). I'm afraid it seems like they might be on track for something like that again this year -- I just hope it's not because of the sequester and they're trying to figure out if they can give out any at all.
Agreed. I don't want to want to instill hope where none is warranted, but that's what I'd say too if a hundred grad students were calling me every day wanting to know their status. One person might not know. B2s -- let's keep each other posted until this is over for sure.
That's for last year I've checked the website a couple times, anticipating that they'll do it again. It sounds like not even the first cut has gone out for at least B2 (my category), and maybe a few others.
Hi, I've been stalking this group all day, so I figured I'd chime in with my two cents. I'm a B2 from Florida who has heard nothing. I know of one other from my institution who is the same, and one who was in a water category and got the rejection packet last week. My hopes aren't high, but I'm glad to find others in the same boat
