NDSEG 2023-2024

[traversingwyvern]

Feeling nervous! I'm in Cognitive Neuroscience and still no update since 2/1 for me! 

[thewire]

For any tea leaf readers, I looked at the 2020-2021 cycle which was also administered by SysPlus, and they crowdsourced a Google spreadsheet of the updates.

https://forum.thegradcafe.com/topic/126090-ndseg-2020-20201/?do=findComment&comment=1058825232

(direct link: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1qBzKN6fLLH11WsgaoQnfcC4aECeBOOXvc8FTxhs9qfc/edit#gid=466934317)

From the 3rd sheet, 14 users reported receiving March updates, 10/11 of those ended up receiving the fellowship. 3 or 4 of those were waitlisted. From the 1st sheet, 7 users reported receiving March updates, 4/5 of those ended up receiving the fellowship, 2 did not say.

 

Some selected fellows did not receive a February update.

 

Emails were sent 3/29, but many confusing updates were posted to the system in the preceding days.

Prof from my school who reviews proposals for Materials Science said that last day for notification of award is April 9th

Awesome, congrats! Mine's still 3/12. I bet each agency goes through panel reviews at different times. The 2020-2021 cycle spreadsheet makes it seem like there might be a second round of March updates, so keep us posted on if your date changes again! 

[thewire]

The 2020-2021 spreadsheet's first March update dates are pretty much the same across each service (although there's not many AFOSR or ONR data points from people that won), but with the three data points we have this year, it seems like now they update each service at different times. 

 

Also, I just got a 3/21 update - slightly smaller time interval than 2020-2021's ~3/15 first update/~3/24 second update

I haven't had an update since 12/2/23...LOL message received I guess. Its a shame we don't get any feedback

Same here.

Someone on Reddit in Geosciences did ONR and got a 3/12 + 3/21 update 

[bubbleGal]

@thewire @BigMane Check your application portals! Where mine once said "Under Evaluation" it now says "Selected!" Still trying to not get too excited, but take a peek. My status was listed as under eval even this morning when I last replied to this chain

[ocean-nerd]

Ahh mine now says “Not Selected” — so it does seem they’re updating. Was really holding out hope but my last update was 2/1 so didn’t expect much. Congrats everyone!

GradCafe takes forever to approve posts with links, but if you search for "NDSEG fellowship status?" or u/WhatToDoNow_1234 there's a very small thread!

I also have "Status: Selected." Hoping selected for more than just wait-list, but congrats either way to you both.

Yeah congratulations! Keep us updated, fingers crossed for more than waitlist

[user01923482384]

hello everyone! long time lurker.

 

Got 12/1, 2/1, 3/12, 3/15, 3/21 updates for ONR, Chemistry.

 

Have status: wait list

 

Does anyone have any info on how many wait lists were awarded for previous years/ success rate there? Congrats to all who got 🥳

[thewire]

I just checked the 2020-2021 & 2019-2020 cycles (both managed by SysPlus) - in 2020-2021, page 8-9 has people reporting portal updates (to Selected/Not Selected) on Friday, 3/26/2021, and emails came out Monday, 3/29/2021. 
In 2019-2020, page 60 has people reporting portal updates (to Selected/Not Selected/Waitlist) on Friday, 4/17/2020, and emails came out that same day. We'll potentially receive emails later this evening or Monday! 

[thewire]

I just got the email!

[bubbleGal]

I just got the accepted email as well! Good luck to everyone!!

[BigMane]

I have been accepted as well. Good luck all!
