Did you receive an initial email when you submitted, and then this email on top of that?

I only received one email. I'm worried now that my app wasn't sent thru the eval process, but on the website portal it reads "under evaluation." I'm going to email admin after the holiday.

Did you ever reach out/hear back? I have the same situation.

I did receive two separate emails. One on Dec 5th saying - 'Thank you for applying....if your application is complete, it will be validated to continute...if modifications and/or clarifications are required.. etc.' 

 

Then a second, separate email, on Dec 16th saying 'Your application has been validated and is eligible to continue..' 

 

It'd probably be best to email/call them to see. It may be that they just haven't gotten to yours yet; I submitted mine a day early. 

 

Best of luck

Let me know if you hear anything. I also did not receive anything after the initial email!

Hi guys, I did reach out to admin and I received a response, this is the meat of it:

"On 13 December 2019, approximately halfway through the validation process, all emails to the applicants stopped, as there was no further action that could be taken by applicants.

The validation process is complete, and all validated applications have been forwarded to the panel. You won't see any additional status updates beyond 'Submitted' on the application until the selection is made in April 2020, at which time all applicants will receive a notification of their selection status.

If additional materials are required for your application, we will contact you directly to request them. Please note that the panelists will not contact you for any reason."

It calmed my nerves quite a bit. It basically sounds like there was a technical limitation after December 13th of some kind that meant applicants could no longer access the application portal. I was nervous that I wouldn't be able to rectify any unintended application discrepancies because I didn't receive that second email, but the last line: "If additional materials are required for your application, we will contact you directly to request them."

Best of luck to all of you, and Happy New Year!

The wait is killing me ! D:

Is there a day/time we are supposed to hear about finalist status?

In April, but they haven't specified any more than that.

[BCHGang]

I wonder if it will be delayed due to the Coronavirus issue. I think the chances of it are less, since they probably could work from home. But I wouldn't be surprised if it was delayed. Oh well. I will have waited for a few months, so I can wait another.

Hopefully it isn't delayed! I know the GRFP reviews are all virtual -- maybe it's the same with the NDSEG?

Seems like it isn't ! Looks like the website itself says April 2020. Has anyone received any email communications yet? It seems very silent out there...

Nothing on my end either ?

[BCHGang]

I guess it''s best to be patient. Easier said than done. But it'll come ! ?

I feel like Cartman in that SP episode where he tries to wait for the Wii, but freezes himself because he's impatient.

[Physicsisphysics]

Yeah, I guess it could be any day now! Hoping it's next week though, the wait stinks

[clb21565]

also very impatiently waiting....

question for those that have applied before / know folks who have: do they provide feedback on the application materials?

Unfortunately they don't give feedback

Curious to see if anyone else sees this too, application updated last 2/28/20. Could mean nothing at all but dang, its hard to wait.

[urmum]

Dang, mine says last update 12/23. So maybe I didn't get so far in the admissions process.

[surface4]

Mine says last update 12/6, which was when I submitted it.

Mine says the same, 2/28/2020.

12/06/20 for me. Trying not to read into that. oof.

[BCHGang]

I have 12/24/2019, which is my submission date. Given that, I doubt I got really far in the application process. It's a bummer since I really did my best on the application. I won't keep my expectations super high, but it is a blow. :-(

Did you have anything missing from your application? Did you receive an email on that date from them? I guess probably not. But chances are you got it !

Here are the emails I was sent:

10 AM on 12/6/19 "Application Submission Confirmation"

12:30 PM on 12/10/19 “Application has been Validated”

Nothing more besides that. In the portal my application reads "Under Evaluation"

Mm, those are the two emails I've received as well. I guess we will have to wait and see. But, knock on wood, I have a promising feeling about your application !

[Physicsisphysics]

Mine was last updated on 12/24, but in my app it still shows "Under Evaluation." Out of curiosity, what year are y'all? I'm a senior undergraduate!
