Sure doesn't seem like it. Seems a little too informal to me...

Stop engaging with him/her, it is encouraging this behavior.

Wow, congrats to you!!! How exciting! Also, how strange that it is being sent out so late, right? And the website still shows 950 people... Hmmm.... :?:

lol, you made a funny!

yea, this nsf page estimates 2 more weeksof waiting: http://www.nsfgrfp.org/ i also got confirmation of pending status, almost immediately after i sent the request via email here is a copy of the email: Dear XXX, Thank you for your interest in the National Science Foundation (NSF) Graduate Research Fellowship Program (GRFP). At this time, your application status is still pending. All applicants whose status is currently pending will receive either an honorable mention, or if additional awards are available, may receive one of the additional awards. Unfortunately, we regret that we do not have a specific timeframe for the final decisions about how many awards can be made. We will, however, notify applicants as soon as possible when a decision has been made. We sincerely appreciate your patience. If you have any further questions, please contact this office toll-free at (866) 673-4737, via postal mail at the address below, or via email at [email protected] Sincerely, GRF Operations Center 1818 N Street NW Suite T-50 Washington, DC 20036-2479 Website: www.fastlane.nsf.gov/grfp/ www.nsfgrfp.org

it seems like it should be more than 10 people. this is a lot of anxiety for a lot of people for only 10 more slots. i am pretty sure it will be more, but who knows. :?: hope all who celebrated had a happy holiday... cheers!

do we have any idea how many rejections were sent out? it appears that people on here are assuming that the majority of those not awarded this year were already notified. but, does anyone have confirmation from the call center that the majority in limbo really do still have a chance (at the very least with an HM)? i am in limbo and am worried that i might have deleted a message from my spam filter. i cleaned it out this morning and didn't look closely to see if it included something from nsf, ugh.

fastlane appears to be down.

you are probably right! let's hope that's it. :mrgreen:

im not sure if this has been reported yet, but if you google "nsf gfrp 2009", the second hit that comes up states, "Prior to May 1, 2009 these scores will be reported only for the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Program, to the fellowship applicant, ...". It is the program solicitation. When I read through it again, I didn't see that date listed anywhere, nor the quote, so idk. But I thought I would throw that bit of info. out there for those who might be pissed to hear there may be another delay after april 15. good luck to all...

you all are cracking me up. i have been following these posts for a week now, and i just can't help but join in the fun. i wish you all the best of luck
