beaches90 Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 What people who got rejected still has a chance and they were just rejected accidentally by fastlane?? Still hope! What? Where did you get this from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrGradStudent Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 From my mind! With the extra stimulus money, maybe they will actually fund EVERYONE who applied, but simply differentiate between actual winners. right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beaches90 Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 From my mind! I hate you? Where do you live? I'm going to give you a piece of my mind. Not that I have that much in the first place. Which the rejection email clearly confirms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beaches90 Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 Did you know that I have a better chance of getting a cancerous brain tumor (due to a medical condition I have) than I have of getting a NSF Fellowship? I don't know if that's funny or sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonymenu2 Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 Anymore rejection letters? I think I'm calling it a night. Ahh can't wait to wake up tomorrow to an email that will ruin the weekend! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosby49 Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 man, I should have accepted the prestigious fellowship offer and hot USC girls instead of choosing October through May winters, no fellowship and not doing research I want to do at a renowned research school. just something to consider: quality of life does matter. Not just weather, but the people you have to work with for the next 5 years (or more). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrGradStudent Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 What i was originally hoping for was that everyone who didn't get the award now will get the rejection letter so that there is still hope for all of us, but clearly this is not the case. this only means that we must all move on to better things. Perhaps without the constraint of this fellowship, we can all free ourselves and become even better researchers than ever? The possibilities!

blargh Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 is there anyone that was awarded the nsf in neuroscience and would be willing to send me their essays for next year's application cycle? if so, please send me a PM on here. thanks muchly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrGradStudent Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 Is it a wise idea to drop out of grad school if we did not receive this fellowship? Maybe this will increase the demand for graduate students and the nsf will fund more to less thus increasing the chances next time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosby49 Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 man forget research. Getting some fellowship does not help you get some. become some hedge fund manager or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beaches90 Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 Since I can't be successful in the real world, I think I need a new life plan. In third grade, I invented an apple washer for a contest. Yes, an apple washer. My life potential was doomed from the start! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheherazade Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 I haven't received a rejection letter yet, and my name is *not* on the award list. Keeping fingers weakly crossed for the HM. Last name starts with "L". Field in the social sciences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosby49 Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 you still have not answered my question about the Hand Lotion Sciences program. Prospects look even better now that I will be joining that program. What is your PhD in when you graduate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrGradStudent Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 I haven't received a rejection letter yet, and my name is *not* on the award list. Keeping fingers weakly crossed for the HM. Last name starts with "L". Field in the social sciences. My guess is that you get the award through the second batch of funding. While people who actually got rejected will receive another email telling them they got HM, while the people who were actually rejected were actually people who got the award through the first batch. So there's still hope! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrGradStudent Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 you still have not answered my question about the Hand Lotion Sciences program.

blah2009 Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 Your scenario doesn't make any sense. I was at a party and my friend got it and I didn't. I was thrilled for her nonetheless. No email for me yet. Sigh.....could mean limbo for bad news that will come much much later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xanax.tonight Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 does anyone know if statistics for former recipients by state is listed anywhere? (I did not go to high school around the coasts and am currently in limbo) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrGradStudent Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 The real question is: is it possible to be social about science and to be scientific about society? What if society was actually based on a purely nonscientific system? then how can you find scientific values in it? Also, what if science was based on purely non-social constructs? Then how can you be social about it? These are the things we should be thinking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
