OpticsDude97 Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 Fwiw, the DoD 2nd round reviews update was at 11:57am on Jan 31st for me. 3:14 would be poetic lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cellbiogal Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 My 2nd round status was updated at 10:55 am CST, so seems like maybe they entered that manually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brutalairplane0 Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 my 2nd round status was never updated and still says "subject matter experts panel review" so if i could just get my rejection and be done with this anxiety thatd be great jonnybreaux, confessionsofaphysicsgeek, ryanleh and 3 others 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dadbodengineer Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 I just called the number on their site and a woman there said acceptance emails will start being sent tonight and go through Friday. How hard is it to do it all at once and not extend our misery like that… davidtorres, neural_tomas and caconym 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidtorres Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 Now that is quite cruel. I can't think of a good reason why the emails do not get sent out simultaneously. I don't think there are enough applicants to cause traffic issues, but I guess there must be a good reason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sPeLLeFaCdArG Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 Not sure about you, but whenever I have 160 emails to send out, I make sure to stagger them over a 50 hour period. nbsparrow, caconym, Hatscats and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caconym Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 Maybe they just use super old email software that can't send out more than 3 emails an hour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
confessionsofaphysicsgeek Posted March 30, 2022 Author Share Posted March 30, 2022 So... assuming correct info: I will accept defeat if I hear nothing by Friday. At least it'll be over soon. davidtorres 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quantumGuitarist Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 I bet they are manually doing them... This is honestly absurd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neural_tomas Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 Yeah, from the sound of it, for the 1/31 2nd round updates, it sounds like it happened throughout the day (early to late afternoon). I wouldn't be surprised if those updates were done manually and these will be done manually as well. I have a guess, they may go alphabetically by last name, but who knows as well, the order could be arbitrary (like by DOD branch, etc). I think I'll try to imagine my letter will come in Friday EOD, that way I don't waste 2 days constantly checking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brutalairplane0 Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 Are we not receiving rejection emails then? I have an earlier correspondence with NDSEG that says they will let everyone know whether they got it, got honorable mention, or rejected. Not sure if that has changed tho...

brutalairplane0 Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 (edited) Just called them. She said acceptance emails are being sent out starting now. They have an "alternates" list and rejection list to send out as well. Seems they are going out mixed. I also asked about the Dod 2nd Round Reviews status update and she said she knows nothing about that because they never sent any updates out.

I wonder what in the system was sending out those updates then. I appreciate you calling them for more information! brutalairplane0 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone else in this chain said they e-mailed the people responsible for the NDSEG fellowship this year, and in one response it was said that this meant moving to the next stage. iirc, someone else then also said that those updates in the system may not be correct (i.e. those without it may still be considered). Maybe this other person is just unaware? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe this other person is just unaware? Certainly, could be the case. I would be a bit discouraged if my application didn't make it to the second round, as I felt good about it, but I think for now we just need to wait till Friday.

cellbiogal Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 No, I don’t think anyone has heard anything from NDSEG, even though they said they were sending results “now” an hour ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
