DoE CSGF 2021-2022

[caconym]

Might as well make the thread for this year for some premature stress

Did anyone else apply this semester?

[hokiepokie]

No, it was just you. Congrats!

[momo1129]

i guess we should be hearing back later this month

[caconym]

Looking back at the last few years' threads, it seems like we'll know the last week of March yikes

[universitas]

Any news? Still anxiously waiting.

[momo1129]

lol well I DM'd the CSGF twitter account and they said the following:

All applicants can expect to be notified within the month of April. Thank you for your patience.

 

[universitas]

Both this and NSF seem delayed. Is the government OK?

[caconym]

At least NDSEG is on time, but I really hope CSGF comes out before the NDSEG acceptance deadline on the 12th ?

[universitas]

Just got the call from Iowa. So exciting!

[caconym]

Congrats! Were you on the traditional track or the Math/CS one?

[universitas]

Math/CS. Just want to point out that the whole fellowship process seems...very random. I am a permanent resident so I could only apply to NSF, DOE and a few others (Hertz, Soros, and other CS-only). I had a first-round interview for Hertz, but didn't make it further. Rejected in all the others including NSF (not even an honorable mention). DOE CSGF was my last chance and somehow that worked! I applied with the exact same research plan, credentials, etc. to all of these.

Has anybody else heard anything? I’m still anxiously waiting as I imagine others are.

I saw three folks on Twitter who received the call. I haven't heard anything yet on my end.

I got an email yesterday that I'm an alternate so I would guess that if you haven't heard anything yet it's probably not good news. Congrats to everyone who got it and if you might decline it...please do lmao I need the funding

[caconym]

Just got the rejection email big oof

Congrats to everyone who got it tho!

Rip me too. They “strongly suggest” I apply again next year lol. Congrats to everyone that got it! 

[tszaszgreen]

Just got my rejection email too. I forgot I used my personal email, so I was panicking for a moment! Congrats to everyone who got it! Better luck next year for those of y'all that are still eligible!

[coffeeanddonuts]

Wait, I haven't heard anything at all ? I just checked my application to make sure my email is correct and it is... I also checked my spam box and nothing... 

EDIT: never mind, I used my school email address and they use a spam service that prevented it from even showing in my spam box for some reason. I just unblocked the sender and saw the rejection letter

Does anyone know what these "strongly suggest" in the rejection letters mean? I heard people who got rejection letters saying they got in the final stage of selection too. So I assume there are different rejections letters corresponding to different strength of the applications?
