Therefore, it would not be abnormal for this banner to not be there just yet. Expand So we basically wait for tomorrow morning and see if there is a GRFP banner. I would keep my hopes low, but I cant help but get excited…. And at the same time I know that even if results do release tomorrow the chance I get it is small… so I know I should have my hopes doubly low AnxiousAeroEng 1
cafemanager Posted March 23, 2023 Posted March 23, 2023 I'm trying to make the best of it. It may be overdone to say "not winning it doesn't mean you won't be a good scientist" etc, but it's overdone for a reason. Personally, I have plans regardless of whether I get it. I anticipate I'll be euphoric or extremely frustrated, but I can't (nobody can!) help the feelings. So, I'll take advantage of either to just keep developing the research I'm working on and enjoy the career and life that's developing from it. Good luck to all, but I hope that if this is a pivotal puzzle piece for you to get in to a school, work with an advisor, pursue a specific project, then double good luck! thephdiaries, AnxiousAeroEng, coughcoughcoffee and 2 others 5

Yes, I’m already a grad student, I started this semester. So, I know I’m incredibly lucky to have funding… RA funding as well. And, I have dug back through the Wayback machine, and Friday-Saturday maintenance from 10pm-8am on Fastlane seems pretty normal, not all weeks have it, but many do. I wouldn’t get too excited about possible results tomorrow! Maintenance for results has only been to, at latest, 6am as well. AnxiousAeroEng 1
indy101 Posted March 24, 2023 Posted March 24, 2023 Sorry to be a downer but I don't think we will get results till early April like it says. The first April tuesday is my guess!

Maybe just try to forget that the GRFP exists for the next week?

jongu Posted March 24, 2023 Posted March 24, 2023 No way… for the first time last year they release results on Monday. Now results on a Saturday? Well, I’m setting an alarm for 4am or something so I can check the results 5 hours earlier than I would get an email (it’s totally worth it)
eb42 Posted March 24, 2023 Posted March 24, 2023 That would put it on a Saturday, which seems unlikely / hasn't happened before?

regenerate Posted March 24, 2023 Posted March 24, 2023 My heart rate just shot up. I wish they'd announce the exact date results were going to be released rather than making us solve this like we're Sherlock.
cafemanager Posted March 24, 2023 Posted March 24, 2023 Let's make sure we get to five pages before tonight so this graph is more accurate!

Expand I wonder if the NSF folks watch the gradcafe threads to time the release? I’m honestly curious what ends up taking so long since I’m pretty sure all the review sessions are done before February 1.

jongu Posted March 25, 2023 Posted March 25, 2023 Only an hour until maintenance starts!! Forgot that different time zones exist… the maintenance is in EST
indy101 Posted March 25, 2023 Posted March 25, 2023 Gonna be a sleepless night. How early can we expect results? Certainly not like 11 PM EST right?
concerned_critterzen Posted March 25, 2023 Posted March 25, 2023 Your guess is as good as mine, but the last few years it’s been 2-3 hours after the maintenance starts.
ThisNameIsTaken Posted March 25, 2023 Posted March 25, 2023 I can still login to the portal... is that a bad sign lmao. concerned_critterzen 1
indy101 Posted March 25, 2023 Posted March 25, 2023 I can login fine too. Perhaps they haven't started?
