I just got the rejection e-mail.

aw, that sucks :(

is it alphabetical? what letter does your last name start with? (i'm T, so I could have a while to wait...)

Well, perhaps, like the awards, the e-mails are being sent out in "installments based on discipline". So... we all just have to wait it out still unless we're on the list or have an e-mail. Which is not me... *sigh*

Nevermind, just got the "We regret to inform you that you were not selected to receive a fellowship in this year's competition." Congrats to the winners and to the rest of us... *big hug* :cry:

Not that I know any of you, nor do you know me, but I am truly sorry. You all seem so bright and optimistic. I feel positively misanthropic compared to most of the people on this board.

I wish you all had won.

Well, I figured I was probably going to get an Honorable Mention, so looks like I'll have to wait a while longer for closure. It's like the MIT waiting list all over again.

I hate to engage in more of this hand-waving speculation, but does it sound to you guys like not getting a rejection email in this first batch means at least honorable mention? The wording on fastlane sort of makes it sound like that.

More limbo! Good God, NSF!!!

It's obviously out of their hands at this point. Would you rather they just cut it off right now with no more awards?

Having maybe 10% of people in limbo is better than having 100% of people in limbo.

On the application, you list your desired graduate school. That's not necessarily where they're going.
