Does anyone know when they will actually send written conformation. Do you know if it will be by e-mail or snailmail?

Yea, I received an HM and now am waiting for the NDSEG and the DOE. I Figured the NSF was my best bet since there is so many more offers given. Since they are offering only ~80 fellowships i don't have any hopes. Since this is my last year of eligibility for these fellowships here to hoping i can pull a rabbit out of the hat.

It just seems that the NSDSEG is more selective so if you missed your mark with the NSF then the chance of hitting it with DOD is small.

Well i just got an HM from GRFP, i wonder if that knocks me out of the running for NDSEG. Does anyone know of that senario panning out?

Just a little creepy... i wish i could return the sentiment that i know who you are.

I'm actually surprised that the DOE and DOD fellowships don't get nearly as much attention. Anyway i have joined the ranks of those totally debilitated by the wait. Must…finish….prospectus ….

just got my rejection letter... well i guess i can go back to work now.

It says 30% increase for GRFP.

Correct me if I

Total side note: Does this whole process have a willy wanka and the chocolate factory feel to anyone else? Odds seem incredible however you have some faint glimmer of hope that it may work out

Come on you say this like its a bad thing
