throwawayyyy Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 (edited) Anyone know what this update means? Did those of us with an early December update already get cut? Anyone know how many rounds of evaluations an application goes through? 12/7/2020 update Edited December 10, 2020 by throwawayyyy additional question Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pangoline Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 Last updated on 11/8 for me. Also since I submitted my application, I feel like my research interests have entirely changed direction. Fun... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone know how many rounds of evaluations an application goes through? 12/7/2020 update According to cellbiogal on page 3 "Welcome! You definitely missed out on some (neurotic) fun last year! It appears that the update reflects NDSEG administrators updating the status of your application on that date, but it doesn’t actually say what that status change was. If you check out last years thread, we noticed the dates back in April while we were waiting for award results. At the time, some people had a december update and some people had an april update. Then as the days passed, the april people kept getting another update here and there. When awards were released, all of #decembergang was rejected. Some of the April people were awardees, some were waitlisted, and some were rejected. We concluded that if you didn’t have an april update, you were cut back in December. BUT, Since we only started looking for this in April, its unclear what updates happen in November through April. (Ie. Did everyone get an update on in december? Were there February updates? Its unclear.) I think a natural hypothesis for now is that a November update means your application was marked as complete and will be evaluated, but it’s impossible to know with certainty. Also, we made a spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/2/d/1HHwP8Zyh8W24HRUh5WnObRExb24JhN5ZLTa7p5Q8CkI/htmlview#gid=0" cellbiogal 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ic3man211 Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 (edited) 12/9 Update hoping that means something not bad....Is there a google doc for this year? Edited December 11, 2020 by ic3man211 cellbiogal 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cellbiogal Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 Here's a google doc we can use: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1qBzKN6fLLH11WsgaoQnfcC4aECeBOOXvc8FTxhs9qfc/edit?usp=sharing It's the same format as last year. Share as much as you're comfortable with, and feel free to use a unique identifier for the 'username' part if you're lurking. The most important info is probably military branch, BAA, and dates since different branches may 'update' on different days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OpticsDude97 Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 I had a 11/9 update and now have a 12/10 update. AFOSR - Physics (including optics). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whyndsegwhy Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 I really think the only updates that will be interpretable moving forward are those that we see in 2021 (Jan, Feb). Those were the big separators last year. So, just waiting it out I guess (it may just be easier to live in a cave until April)... PopSoc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems like as long as you are still getting updates you were still in the running, meaning that you might have been cut at that last update or you will receive another update later on meaning you were still in the running. But that is just my take on it- I could be wrong lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I just noticed a interesting trend in the google doc. The only people to not have December updates are people who applied for Biosciences. Weird.

Same, I have a morning ritual of checking the application website then checking this. From last years thread it looks like there was only one January update (1/27) then another round of updates late February (2/28). caffeinated_lurker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is my first (and only) year applying, so I wasn't aware of those dates. Thanks for the heads up. I'm assuming that if we don't see an update in Jan or Feb that we likely got cut?

nkbkwrm Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 (edited) I haven't logged in to SYSPLUS since I submitted but are people still able to see statuses/how do you access it? I just get a page that says "Session for this year is not available yet". But if I log into the account I used for last year I can see my results on that just fine. So I wasn't sure if this message was something you all are getting too or not edit: this was a dumb mistake and i was just checking an old account i had made Edited January 16, 2021 by nkbkwrm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
