What people who got rejected still has a chance and they were just rejected accidentally by fastlane?? Still hope!

What? Where did you get this from?

From my mind!

I hate you? Where do you live? I'm going to give you a piece of my mind. Not that I have that much in the first place. Which the rejection email clearly confirms.

Did you know that I have a better chance of getting a cancerous brain tumor (due to a medical condition I have) than I have of getting a NSF Fellowship?

I don't know if that's funny or sad.

man, I should have accepted the prestigious fellowship offer and hot USC girls instead of choosing October through May winters, no fellowship and not doing research I want to do at a renowned research school. just something to consider: quality of life does matter. Not just weather, but the people you have to work with for the next 5 years (or more).

What i was originally hoping for was that everyone who didn't get the award now will get the rejection letter so that there is still hope for all of us, but clearly this is not the case. this only means that we must all move on to better things. Perhaps without the constraint of this fellowship, we can all free ourselves and become even better researchers than ever? The possibilities!

is there anyone that was awarded the nsf in neuroscience and would be willing to send me their essays for next year's application cycle? if so, please send me a PM on here. thanks muchly :)

Is it a wise idea to drop out of grad school if we did not receive this fellowship? Maybe this will increase the demand for graduate students and the nsf will fund more to less thus increasing the chances next time?

man forget research. Getting some fellowship does not help you get some. become some hedge fund manager or something.

Since I can't be successful in the real world, I think I need a new life plan. In third grade, I invented an apple washer for a contest. Yes, an apple washer. My life potential was doomed from the start!

I haven't received a rejection letter yet, and my name is *not* on the award list. Keeping fingers weakly crossed for the HM.

Last name starts with "L". Field in the social sciences.

you still have not answered my question about the Hand Lotion Sciences program. Prospects look even better now that I will be joining that program. What is your PhD in when you graduate?

My guess is that you get the award through the second batch of funding. While people who actually got rejected will receive another email telling them they got HM, while the people who were actually rejected were actually people who got the award through the first batch. So there's still hope!

PhD will be in Engineering Sciences: Hand Lotion Fabrication and Manufacturing

Your scenario doesn't make any sense. I was at a party and my friend got it and I didn't. I was thrilled for her nonetheless. No email for me yet. Sigh.....could mean limbo for bad news that will come much much later.

The real question is: is it possible to be social about science and to be scientific about society? What if society was actually based on a purely nonscientific system? then how can you find scientific values in it? Also, what if science was based on purely non-social constructs? Then how can you be social about it? These are the things we should be thinking about.
