jkpate Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 Anybody else here posting things without much content just because they want to see this thread hit 50 pages before the results even come out? Because I know I am... postcount++ edit: bonus!, pagecount++ Yes. Case in point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdilks Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 Last year I could see the list online a day before I got my email. Somebody on here asked about that when they called, and they said it was definitely a mistake and wouldn't happen again this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nsfnsfnsf Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 oh, and by the way, i called nsf last week and the person over the phone said, "our goal is to announce results by APRIL 15TH." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caezar86 Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 Last year I could see the list online a day before I got my email. Yeah, but I think someone said they heard that NSF is making a point this year not to leak the list before people receive their email. How successful they will be is to be seen, but assuming they don't make any mistakes, we probably won't see a list until we've already been notified somehow.

vice Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 I was wondering if they were thinking of the "html hack" and not just the general posting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosby49 Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 i know people in earlier posts were talking about how some people are notified all right but some were not notified by email until after the list was posted. Although the latter case might be more the exception...regardless, I don't care as long as we find out in some shape/form. "My mom's a fish!

DorianGravy Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 anyone want to go halves on a pie and stay up all night waiting to see if they post the results even though they probably won't until the 15th? I want to split a pie. That sounds really good. I'm not staying up all night, though. As soon as I get done grading this undergrad homework, I'm off to bed. Man, undergrads have the strangest (occasionally dumbest) ways of going about problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkpate Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 oh, and by the way, i called nsf last week and the person over the phone said, "our goal is to announce results by APRIL 15TH." my guess is that's what they say just to get us to stop bothering them. Just early enough that people won't have a legitimate reason for heart attacks, but late enough that they aren't making any promises they can't keep.

But the stipend is $25,000 per year. Actually, all PhD programs in BME fund their grad students (I think...). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping NSF award decisions being released will make the select few people ahead of me finalize their decisions, so I can either move on with plans at the first school or have time to properly assess the second one.

I'm in the same situation... I hope a week and a half is enough time to contact those schools and get some feedback from them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
