NSF GRFP

[cosby49]

it would be funny if they funded that and then waited longer to notify people in subsequent years.... :? Okay, I'm just kidding everyone, it would not be funny.

So I'm starting to see posts on the Admissions Results pg for the NSF GRFP.

Is this for real?

[curious zygote]

And it appears the 2008 award list is no longer loading from the drop-down menu. This. Could. Get. Interesting.

Whoa yeah, what is this?

You're right, mine's not either.

Oh god, I think I'm going to puke.

I noticed that as well. It went down at ~12am my time (east coast), so a little over an hour ago... Like someone else said, maybe they were waiting until it was no longer 4/1/09 on the west coast... :-\

Great, I know I won't be sleeping well tonight.

[caezar86]

I just had a thought: What if our incessant logging on actually impedes the updating process for our individual accounts?

[curiousD]

I guess they're updating the website. It doesn't necessarily mean anything. Or so many people are logging on it's having problems.

[curious zygote]

Ok. So sorry to all those I just freaked out. I'm just calling it like I see it. Let's make a pact- we will NOT stay up all night for this!

[idk123]

mine still says "welcome applicants" when i log in. does anyone's say "welcome fellows"?

[cosby49]

mine still looks the same...argh. and I don't see a diff in 2009 award screen either

if you try to view the 2008 awards offered, it won't load it... at least that's what i'm getting.

[cosby49]

i mean it still only shows up to 2008

[cosby49]

oh, i see what you're saying, cool!

[Moxie]

I tried to stay calm until the 1st, but now I keep hitting refresh like a madman. Dammit, NSF.

[curiousD]

are http://www.thegradcafe.com/survey/index.php these people lying??

[caezar86]

What I don't get is if these people are so earnest about keeping people updated on the forum about acceptance/rejection, why haven't they come to this thread yet to let us know what's going on? This is the main thread for the 2009 NSF GRFP right?

i really hope so... wish i wouldn't have seen all this before going to bed! no sleep tonight, that's for sure...

i agree with caezar too... it seems weird that they wouldn't post it here. i'm hoping they just think it's funny to watch us all freak out. (since neuroticism is so funny.)

[curiousD]

I HIGHLY doubt emails were sent out at 1:45 am eastern standard time.

[cosby49]

yeah, i guess it's unlikely. must...not...sleep...just kidding.

[curious zygote]

Yeah. I'm thinking that moment of excitement may just transition into more of the same ol' waiting...

[curiousD]

The only weird thing is you can no longer see the 2008 winners and honorable mentions. I wonder why...

[sam45]

I think we broke it
