I called--they said that it's not in a particular order. There are a number of people assigned for a particular section/subsection in for each agency's BAA and they send it out manually.  

I did it for you only

You’re a king/queen ❤️

Thanks for callin! 

Not unhinged at all hehe, we all want to know. Or maybe we are all unhinged ?

Seems like they have only been sending out emails in the evening and not during the day. I guess we should expect another round of letters this evening.

Just remember: tomorrow is April Fools Day. Nothing is to be trusted…Just to raise the anxiety here. Best of luck all!

When was the first round of emails released yesterday?

They're sending them manually so it doesn't really matter but it was around 7pm eastern.

Has anyone heard anything? And has anyone gotten a rejection/alternate awardee yet?

Maybe they are just accepting everyone this year ?

[engruser1455]

I'm starting to think yesterday was the day they sent out all of the acceptances...expecting either a rejection or alternate email tomorrow evening.

I saw on Twitter that a few people announced they received awards today-- whether or not they got the email yesterday or today is unclear, but I'm staying positive

 

But still preparing for a rejection

Aren't they all supposed to be sent out by Friday morning?

Did they specify acceptances by friday or all fellowship results?

Pretty sure it's all fellowship results

[OpticsDude97]

Anything yet? I suppose no news is good news?

Is this just a big April fool's joke

Seriously! I don't know if it's because of the new folks running the program or if it's just the government being the government but it's taking forever. 

[neural_tomas]

Yeah, I hope they don't fall back on next week and just get it all out today.

Just got an email--awarded honorable mention aka waitlist

Did anyone who was notified of being awarded the fellowship on 3/30 just get another email (today, 4/1) that they're honorable mention? I'm so confused?!

Hey it's better than nothing, so congrats!

What field did you apply under?

[plzcoffee]

Just got emailed too as an honorable mention.

Had the 2nd round review status, and aimed my proposal towards AFOSR in Engineering. Guess it's time to wait and see if anyone chooses NSF over NDSEG.

Sounds like the only thing left is the rejection letters

Wouldn't be surprised if we have to wait a couple weeks for that

@plzcoffee could you upload a screenshot of what your portal looks like?

Exactly, they took 3 days to notify ~ 5% of the total number of applications
