My email at 1:13 am last year read as follows:

Soooooo I think it was right then? Can't remember if I tried it and there was a delay though.

This is killing me. I want to know...but then I don't. I wish I hadn't found this thread, but it's also a bit cathartic to know there are other anxious people in the world.

Watch as it comes back up, no list. The NSF people would be laughing at us so hard right now.

They're probably all sound asleep in their warm beds right now, laughing at us in their dreams!

Wrote a script to check fastlane and email me if it's back up. Running it as a cronjob every minute. Waiting for my android phone to make the happy new email sound.

Oh how I adore this message board.

This just made me laugh out loud.

Anyone want to do some last minute sucking up to the NSF with me?

God, the NSF is such an amazing institution. I just think its terrific!!

(Can I change my display name once I get my rejection? ;)

Hahahaha! This literally made me laugh out loud!! :)

Hey, I'm pretty sure I've invested quite a bit less time in it than most of the people in this thread. The script took about 3 minutes to write, as opposed to some people here who have been constantly manually refreshing the site for hours straight. =)

Anyway, I'm just setting myself up for disappointment here...I wrote all my essays the day before the thing was due and my broader impacts were a load of crap, but oh well.

LOL!! The thought has crossed my mind, too...

What time are people predicting the email will go out tonight? I'm west coast so maybe I'll be able to stay up late!

Fastlane is down now, so I'm hoping in the next couple of hours. 10pm on the west coast.

I'm so nervous!!! I've been reading this thread for months now and I can't believe the day is here!!!!!!! I need to stop obsessing about this.

In other news, HOORAY UCONN!!!

Indeed - Dad won $$ in a work bracket and said he'd send some my way ... lol only reason I really cared about that game.

In other news, I sincerely hope he didn't use up our family's luck for the evening.

(5) honors later?

(6) rejected later

Why can't they post at a normal hour? Sheesh!! Sleep deprivation + rejection/destroyed hopes and dreams + misc. grad school angst equals sad, sad tomorrow :-(

I really hope that there is no "limbo" scenario like there was two years ago. It seems unlikely that they will increase the number of winners from last year, so about 2000. I don't know how many honorable mentions there were last year, though. I think there were 12,000 total applications last year.

Also, nice username. NSF is an amazing institution. Every walking second, I think about how awesome the NSF is. PLEASE NSF, PLEASE! Have mercy on my mortal soul!

I agree!!! They should do it during regular business hours.

I agree! The NSF's munificence and generosity makes me proud to be an American. Tens of millions of people around the world do all they can to come to the U.S. precisely because of institutions like the NSF, not to imply that any other government institution comes even close to the NSF in all its glory and greatness. I think this year the NSF should double the number of awards it bestows, but who am I to suggest anything to the wise NSF.
