Hertz Fellowship (2021-2022)

[kittensneezesforever]

Hi all,

I thought I would start a thread for the Hertz Fellowship! Based on past years it seems we should start hearing about interviews sometime in the next 2-3 weeks. Has anybody else submitted an app?

Also submitted an app!

Also submitted, expecting that we might hear back by EOD tomorrow (judging by last year's schedule)

[confessionsofaphysicsgeek]

Also submitted... nervous since we should hear back soon!

Anyone hear back today? If not, invites to the interviews will probably go out next week.

Haven’t heard anything☹️ Next week it is, then…

No news here, my money is on Monday

I guess it’s a good thing we’re not putting money on our predictions ? still nothing on my end

I realized the the app was due six days later than it was last year, so they are probably running later. Still, based on the 'mid-november' in the FAQs we should probably hear sometime this week.

It seems like they typically release results three weeks after the deadline, so I'm guessing we'll hear back on a Friday.

Waiting is torture!!!

Lol immediately after I posted this I got the message- not selected! All good. 

[bee303]

Not selected as well. At least I don't have to worry about the interview!

Got selected for the first round of interviews. Resources online are kinda sparse though.

Selected for first round interview, 17% of applicants got one this year. Excited but nervous, I’ll look into compiling interview prep things later this weekend

how did the first round of interviews go? I was dizzy by the end of it

I think it went as well as it could've gone for me tbh, there were definitely things I should've known that I blanked on. Felt like I couldn't read my interviewers reactions over Zoom at all, which I guess beats the stories I've heard of blunt-to-the-point-of-rudeness reviewers, but sucks because I don't really know how I should feel.

Does anyone know when we'll hear back? And was yesterday the only day of R1 interviews, or are they spread out?
