NSF GRFP

[denidzo]

Excellent.

I'm going to wait up until at least midnight, just to see if fastlane actually does go down--perhaps they've retracted their claim as noted by the "original" status on the website.

That's what i'm afraid of, that they changed their mind about doing whatever they're doing tonight on the site. So I am also waiting to see .... just in case

[denidzo]

Wings won, looks like B's and 'Canes are going to OT.

Well, since Ovetchkin's out, I am going to root for the Canes.

I think it was a hallucination. really. The site is still live.

I've been stalking this forum for ages now and felt like I should do my part to reach 200 pages.

Having just moved to LA from Michigan the start of this school year, i'm feeling pretty optimistic tonight. Bring it on NSF, your approval, rejection, or interminable silence means nothing next to Lord Stanley's Cup! I'm turning my NSF angst toward Chicago.

I probably should be studying for my preliminary examination, which is in a month and a half... I've been waiting for these results FOREVER though!

Love Chicago ... Patrick Kane is from my hometown, and I followed Brian Campbell from his Sabres days.

I have never clicked refresh so many times in my life...

Me either ... looks like the stupid site is still up. I am thinking we've been duped once again.

[liatris]

The wait is over, Allah be praised! I got an email saying that I had gotten an honorable mention about 5 minutes ago! Time to celebrate!

The last few times this happened I almost threw up. Not this time. I'm jaded. And caffeinated.

[BioMedSciMed]

ok guys- so just to be clear, what exactly are we thinking will be the first place we'll see the long-awaited news? Is it on our login page or is it the "check application status"? or do we login and check the HTML? what do we do exactly?

Since Yzerman left, Chris Chelios is my favorite Wing, so the Chicago rage is tempered. Still, I'm renaming my would-be ulcers N. H. and L. (formerly called N.S. and F.)

If it follows the same path as April 10, Fastlane will go down and stay down for about 30 minutes. Then, the site will come back up with the list/parts of the list updated. Emails will go out around the same time over the course of several minutes.

This is all assuming everything happens the same way...

caffeinated is good.

I would expect an email to be the first notification. I don't think its happening tonight though.

My ulcers are over for this season ... I'm a Sabres fan. They stunk once again this year. I can gleefully cheer for other teams.

I was really optimistic it would until they switched back the message on Fastlane. Now I just don't know.

I don't either. I am about to head off to sleep, but I just can't seem to pry my fingers off the refresh button.

[mijin]

Was the message even there in the first place? I never saw it.

[LetUsReach200Pages]

Yup, it was there. I saw it, and my first thought was "the last this happened on a thursday, results were released... could it be????"

I'm giving it till midnight, then going to sleep.

[meowser]

Oh it was. Right around midday. I don't know for how long because I was so distracted by compulsively refreshing things that I had to remove myself from my desk. But it was there, bright and shiny.

And how sad is it when you keep checking your spam filter to make sure one more time the email isn't there? LOL

[Hekog]

This stinks.

[skinkididoo]

they probably took it down to lull us into a false sense of disappointment so we'd resign to go to bed early and not stay up and check our emails so that they could delay the wave of responses and questions when they stealthily release them later tonight. (hope springs eternal...) luckily, i'm on the west coast, so it's only 9...
