The main page for the GRFP mentions April 29th once the final decisions for acceptance are made, the reviews will be available

Ah dang, that is a bummer indeed!  Thanks for passing along the info.

Results with no feedback or justification is a hard place to be ?

Nothing like 'not recommended' to make you hate graduate student life and yourself.

Honestly...I felt like they could have said something like "Not awarded" instead.

Honorable mention...Not getting it is painful, but i'm not alone and my work is still meaningful.

*Takes deep breaths

Congratulations to the awardees. Celebrate like there's no tomorrow!!!!

God I didn't know this was coming soon, and had a nightmare I didn't receive it last night.  That was quite an accurate prediction.  Honestly, I'm crushed.  Congrats to all who were awarded it!

I just got the award!!!

I'll post my statements later, I'm so excited. I've worked so hard for this day and to finally get a big payoff like this is a huge relief. Almost makes the tragic story in my past worth it.

Congrats!!! Time to celebrate indeed :)

I got the award!!! Wow, was absolutely not expecting to get it, just check out my post history to see how f***** hard of a time I've had adjusting to grad school this year. I know it's like 50% luck, but I'm so freaking relieved to have one fucking thing from this whole year that I did right.

Not awarded. But with only 21 awards in the massive field of Civil Engineering, not feeling too bad for myself. Hopefully the reviews will explain why in a few weeks though!

Congrats to all! Submitting the NSF GRFP IS already an achievement!

Best wishes to all of you!

I won!! So freaking unexpected and I’m thrilled... That being said congrats to everyone who applied whether awarded or not as it is all honestly so luck based!!! We’re all great scientists studying important topics in our fields 

On a side note, has anyone figured out how to see reviews?

Also got it! Apparently the second time is the charm, which is good, since this was my last shot.

Happy to post my materials as well (with some personal info redacted) + reviewer feedback once we get it if other people would like it for future years!

I guess I'm not going to grad school this year then. This was my only chance :(

Why are they not releasing the reviews yet? That seems kinda cruel. I at least want to know *why* they decided I'm not worth it...

Congrats to everyone else though!
