3st3rb Posted April 4, 2020 Posted April 4, 2020 @GradNt unreasonable hour for me, I'm EST.. though I blame animal crossing... scavanaugh 1
ScienceGeek Posted April 4, 2020 Posted April 4, 2020 Interesting! It seems like many of you who've had updates post-December, now have a 4/03 updates. I'm on the other end with my last update still 12/06 haha BCHGang 1
cellbiogal Posted April 4, 2020 Posted April 4, 2020 My last update was still 12/20 still (Applied ARO, biology). Very curious about what this all means, but it would appear we're going to hear soon. BCHGang 1
BCHGang Posted April 4, 2020 Posted April 4, 2020 Mine is still 12/24. And I applied to ARO. So I'm pretty confident I didn''t get it/make it far.

justanothergradstudent Posted April 4, 2020 Posted April 4, 2020 ARO. Neuro. 12/23 date. No update. I'm out, yeah? BCHGang 1

It's like we never proceeded past the first round of selection. That's what I'm trying to say. They pick the first 30% and then send them off the relevant dod people Hence no updated application date.

I'm not trying to talk myself up, but I think on paper I'm incredibly competitive. If anything, I expected to get cut later because my essay/proposal weren't compelling enough. Or I just didn't realize how steep the competition is. Edited April 4, 2020 by justanothergradstudent BCHGang 1
vernigan Posted April 4, 2020 Posted April 4, 2020 Not sure if this is a useful data point anymore, but my app was ONR, last update 02/28. Anyone else apply through ONR as well?

I will say that my essay and proposal, I worked my butt off. But idk. It's a black box. Edited April 4, 2020 by BCHGang Grammar

My GPA from UG was decent, my Grad one less so, and my GRE is like 5+ years old at this point so I'm really not sure how that helps anyone here. I kinda wish we could get feedback like we do for GRFP. BCHGang 1

hopefulstudent1997 Posted April 4, 2020 Posted April 4, 2020 Here to add another datapoint. Electrical Engineering, ARO. Originally had 2/28 as my last updated date but like so many others it changed to 4/3 yesterday. Is there anyone who had a 2/28 who did not have a 4/3 update? Or anyone who did not have a 2/28 update who had a 4/3 one? Just trying to figure out what these updates might represent. BCHGang 1
BCHGang Posted April 4, 2020 Posted April 4, 2020 For those who've received an update for 4/3, does it still say "Under Evaluation" ?

I think no one had this situation. Because if you weren't updated in February, then that means that you didn't get past the first round of submissions. Organization and BAA mean nothing.

ScienceGeek Posted April 4, 2020 Posted April 4, 2020 I think we're all speculating and can't say anything definitive about the dates or the BAA because results haven't been posted. We just need to be patient haha BCHGang and GIIC 2

GIIC Posted April 4, 2020 Posted April 4, 2020 I still have 2/28 (biosciences, ARO). I was really hoping for it all to end yesterday, since it’s very unlikely to hear anything over the weekend....right??
