petrPCB Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 If you have a last updated date of Jan 1st, 1970, then something is definitely broken ? jasli238 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoldenDog Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 Basically, there is no healthy reason to worry about the dates. enburgia and TrottingAtom 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MixedMethods Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 All I know is that I would absolutely love to see at least one person in the December Gang find out that they made the cut. That would absolutely make my day. To feel like we were cut almost immediately (I know I struggle to shake that feeling) and then get surprised with a "You're In!" #DecemberGangGoals Physicsisphysics, samplingbias, scientistsalarian and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder if letting them know about my COBOL to Java/JOBOL migration services would help them make my decision just that much faster.........?

SomGuy13 Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 Alternate Hypothesis: What if the date updates are cases where they lost some piece of an application due to "IT issues", and the date updates reflect some update on that profile to try to recover it?

imposterimposter Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 1 hour ago, pchemp said: I'm 12/5. It's interesting how some people have their last update around 12/20-23. while some like us have our last updates before the due date. If the dates meant selection rounds, then it makes sense that there'd be an initial cutoff for GPA screening and such. But what does it mean for us? Did we just screw up our applications somehow and we didn't even make it to an initial round? Were our BAAs/disciplines just not up for funding? It's a mystery. For what it is worth, my last update was the day SysPlus updated my application with the corrected BAA (ARO). I had a typo in my submission and they helped me fix it, with no updates since. I'm keeping my fingers crossed DecemberGang isn't as worthless as we probably think we are Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
