SpankyMcNasty Posted March 18 Posted March 18 5 minutes ago, tacinmosh said: 3/18 update, ARO Biosciences. But can someone explain to me why people seem to think updates are good? Is there evidence from previous years that awards went to people with more updates? If everyone's status is still "Under Evaluation", I'm not sure what the updates mean. There was a spreadsheet a few years that showed correlation between the number/date of updates that applicants received and their likelihood of receiving the award. Nada on my end for today though.
electronics_lover Posted March 18 Posted March 18 (edited) No update for Mat Sci ARL, my last update was 1/28. I suspect that for those with the 1/28 update is that they did not move onto the panel review, but for those who got the 1/31 they moved on.. just my take tho given the trends of this thread Edited March 18 by electronics_lover

I think we're all reading tea leaves. electronics_lover 1

ThreeSpringrolls Posted March 18 Posted March 18 Just got an update today, 3/18/2025 ARO Biotechnology!
mossheadd Posted March 18 Posted March 18 (edited) no update, feeling disillusioned as more people keep getting updates but me ha! Goodluck y’all Edited March 18 by mossheadd
materialsAROapp Posted March 18 Posted March 18 Materials ARO got an update today 3/18, last one was on 1/31!
FellowApplicant Posted March 18 Posted March 18 (edited) Based on previous year's data, it seems that those of us who didn't get an update today have only a slim chance of getting selected. It seems that the first March updates were on 3/15,17, and 23 before. There could be one more day where people receive a first march update *if it follows previous trends* which so far it has. All people who marked as being "selected" previously received march updates. Edited March 18 by FellowApplicant ThreeSpringrolls 1
guavalava Posted March 18 Posted March 18 You're application could be passed to agencies you did not list. I believe 3/13 was for ONR, 3/18 ARO, and next one will be the remaining (AFRL?).

materialsAROapp Posted Wednesday at 09:12 PM Posted Wednesday at 09:12 PM Based on last year I would think by the end of the month but who knows.

rivershen25 Posted Wednesday at 11:54 PM Posted Wednesday at 11:54 PM Does getting a march update mean you are more likely to be selected?
confessionsofaphysicsgeek Posted Thursday at 12:00 AM Posted Thursday at 12:00 AM I went through some of the old forums and gathered up all of the dates and the award status, and I added the info from this years forum too: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1jf03CCUcmJlMTYI1or4oosnsb9PS1GBZelkww2snsVE/edit?usp=sharing guavalava, sam100402, InvisibleAlmond and 2 others 5
oceaneng11 Posted Thursday at 02:01 PM Posted Thursday at 02:01 PM I applied under Oceanography/Naval Architecture, Last update was 1/28. I am assuming that it is bad I didn't get an update 3/13?
