Yeah, get on that!

Also, are we guessing at the time that the awards list will be available online, or at the time that we'll receive the notification email?

I predict that I will receive an email on Friday, April 10th at 10:24am EST.

LOL that's great. This guessing game has become almost as competitive as the GRFP itself.

I wonder how many phone calls a day the NSF office gets....hahahaha

[gradstudent]

How are people finding their review sheets?

[Neurone]

It'd be awesome if I could find out now whether or not my proposal is going to be funded. This way I could go to bed early and sleep well despite knowing that I'm not fully prepared for my exam tomorrow.

For my next shot at the NSF, I shall propose a method of diverting the energy produced by each phone call the NSF receives into running their establishment.

I'm willing to share the proceeds with an engineer student willing to write the technical essay.

How are people finding their review sheets?

There was a link from the page: http://www.nsfgrfp.org/applicant_resources, but it seems to be down. I personally haven't been able to get my review sheets, but I imagine this is where people did. Correct me if I am mistaken.

[egosumliber]

That seems to be new/recent... earlier today I could access the review login page, just not actually log in.

Let the speculating begin!

[vice]

I bet they get quite a few calls.

I wonder if anyone got tricky and tried to get transferred to one of the head people's lines.

I'm sure it has been a hassle.

I can confirm. Now, even the login page is gone.

[xyphanite]

Maybe I shouldn't have written that robot to automatically refresh, re-log in and analyze evaluations every 1 second. /sarcasm

But I wouldn't put it past someone

[PSi_light]

I can confirm. Now, even the login page is gone.

Somehow I tend to believe this has more to do with them being sick of OCD grads/soon-to-be-grads incessantly trying to log on even though they knew they couldn't. I'll be honest and say I've tried ~10 times. Anyone else want to fess up? lol

[mtlve]

I can confirm. Now, even the login page is gone.

I wonder if they have made a new rating sheet page (like the multiple 2008 awardees pages) but have not fixed the link. It seems strange that they would just take the page down (unless someone figured out how to hack in there but did not tell us).

Anyone want to play a new game: Name the number of pages that this thread will have when we first get a list of awardees (logging in to get award status on fastlane or other NSF screw up is sufficient).

My entry: 118 pages

Anyone else have a guess?

76 pages. (I'm being optimistic.)

[cosby49]

hmm...maybe 68 pages.

[redeye]

I fear it won't be for another week yet...April 13th.

[vice]

We are going strong. I think we will get to 100 before it is all over.

[Moxie]

My prediction for posting is 8 AM Friday.

[cosby49]

I guess I was trying to be consistent with my prediction that they will announce the results Tuesday. I know that's insanely optimistic....
