xkindofbluex Posted March 26, 2010 Posted March 26, 2010 Same here, and I'm not even looking for the same one that everyone's talking about now. Ha. Time to work on the Master's thesis, I guess. Ha, are you waiting to hear about the Office of Science one? The website says April 15, so we've got a while before we hear anything about that. I heard they got waaaaaay more applications than they expected for the SCGF, and that they consequently experienced a lot of delays.
za232 Posted March 26, 2010 Posted March 26, 2010 I really let myself believe it was going to be this week. Suck.
whitemud Posted March 26, 2010 Posted March 26, 2010 Yeah, I'm waiting for the SCGF. I was still holding out hope because the application status still tells me "March 20th" (which is clearly not the case).
i_lost Posted March 29, 2010 Posted March 29, 2010 Ha, are you waiting to hear about the Office of Science one? The website says April 15, so we've got a while before we hear anything about that. I heard they got waaaaaay more applications than they expected for the SCGF, and that they consequently experienced a lot of delays. Where did you hear that they had lots of delays? I'm dying for any bit of information, although I don't know why I'm so impatient to get an email telling me I didn't get the fellowship
meggo Posted March 30, 2010 Posted March 30, 2010 So...not sure if I'm reading into this, but when I go to the Krell Institute's website (for the DOE CSGF), you can even log in to look at your application anymore. So, I guess this means they've made their decisions, and we'll hear soon?
meggo Posted March 31, 2010 Posted March 31, 2010 Okay, update. I called the Krell Institute. The DOE CSGF notifications were sent out last Friday; I just never got the email. I didn't get one...sadface.
za232 Posted March 31, 2010 Posted March 31, 2010 Wait. You're saying that all the 'yes' notifications were sent by email on Friday and the rest of us haven't heard yet? What a bummer.
xkindofbluex Posted March 31, 2010 Posted March 31, 2010 I called on Monday and the woman said that if I hadn't received a phone call, then I was very likely getting a rejection letter. She double checked to confirm. I'd imagine we'll all get rejection letters in the mail very soon.
meggo Posted March 31, 2010 Posted March 31, 2010 Wait. You're saying that all the 'yes' notifications were sent by email on Friday and the rest of us haven't heard yet? What a bummer. Oh, sorry, I mean that she told me that *all* notifications (accept and reject) were sent on Friday, via email and snail mail. She also said that a few people had called and said they never got the email (possibly due to a spam filter), but that there is a hardcopy on the way. She was really nice on the phone, and sounded like she felt bad telling me I was rejected over the phone. Also, I put my departmental email on the application, but my departmental email is forwarded to gmail. It has happened before that I have gotten email lost along the way, so I suspect that is where my email got lost.
xkindofbluex Posted April 1, 2010 Posted April 1, 2010 I got the impression that they had called people rather than emailing, and that they had only called people who won. I didn't get an email either and I think it'd be weird that ALL of us would have "missed" the email, so I'm pretty sure one wasn't sent out.
za232 Posted April 1, 2010 Posted April 1, 2010 Yeah, I got my rejection in the (snail) mail yesterday. It does look like they tried to send an email too though because my letter said that I would also be receiving this letter a few days later via the postal service.
lindsski Posted April 1, 2010 Posted April 1, 2010 Anyone know about the status for the SCGF? Do you think we'll find out next week?
BioTurboNick Posted April 1, 2010 Posted April 1, 2010 Anyone know about the status for the SCGF? Do you think we'll find out next week? Well at least they finally changed the "Application Status" message to say we'll be notified by April 15, 2010.
iLikeTrees Posted April 6, 2010 Posted April 6, 2010 Now that many of us have heard about the NSF GRFP, anybody know anything more about when the DOE SCGF will be announced? Best I can find is still April 15. I'm definitely not expecting anything out of the SCGF since I got a flat out rejection from NSF and I'm guessing this will be uber-competitive, but I'm just tired of waiting.

I'm definitely not expecting anything out of the SCGF since I got a flat out rejection from NSF and I'm guessing this will be uber-competitive, but I'm just tired of waiting. Same boat, only I somehow pulled an HM from the NSF. I have no idea how competitive the SCGF will be, although someone did mention that they got waaaay more apps than expected. I think my proposal hit a few key mission areas for the SCGF, so maybe there's a chance - who knows...
joefalk Posted April 6, 2010 Posted April 6, 2010 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.
hanson155 Posted April 6, 2010 Posted April 6, 2010 DOE SCGF Phone calls have started coming. Just got one maybe 30 min ago! Fantastic news on my birthday, after an HM on NSF last night.
lindsski Posted April 6, 2010 Posted April 6, 2010 DOE SCGF Phone calls have started coming. Just got one maybe 30 min ago! Fantastic news on my birthday, after an HM on NSF last night. Someone personally called to say that you got the SCGF? Now I'm going to switch from checking my email constantly to checking my phone constantly. Congrats on the SCGF and Honorable Mention! I got HM for NSF and am now just hoping that I got the SCGF since it's my last year of eligibility.
hanson155 Posted April 6, 2010 Posted April 6, 2010 Yes, I got a phone call while sitting in the lab trying to get started on some work. Needless to say, I have not been productive since then. Congrats to you on the HM as well, and good luck!
MrHippo Posted April 6, 2010 Posted April 6, 2010 should we assume that we didn't get it if we received no phone call?
zxcv Posted April 6, 2010 Posted April 6, 2010 Just got the phone call literally two minutes ago as I was reading this thread!!! Formal notification will arrive in about a week
whitemud Posted April 6, 2010 Posted April 6, 2010 Congratulations (And Happy Birthday)! I, for one, hope you have a name near the beginning of the alphabet.
zxcv Posted April 6, 2010 Posted April 6, 2010 I, for one, hope you have a name near the beginning of the alphabet. H Only question now is when the research conference is... because I won an NSF EAPSI to go to Taiwan this summer, which I hope I can still do.
hanson155 Posted April 6, 2010 Posted April 6, 2010 (edited) H Only question now is when the research conference is... because I won an NSF EAPSI to go to Taiwan this summer, which I hope I can still do. H here as well Edited April 6, 2010 by hanson155
whitemud Posted April 6, 2010 Posted April 6, 2010 That's close enough, I still have hope. :-D (Figures: 80 people, 5-10 minutes per call, probably only 1 person calling. Should take 2 days. Ok, back to doing real work, for me.)
