guttata Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Also, I've just noticed: We seem to be slacking this year. Last year's GRFP page had over 50 pages, we're less than half that. I think we need to pick up the pace, no way people keep posting enough to catch up once awards are announced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vertices Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 I'm only reloading this thread. Fastlane gives me the willies. I'll probably end up waiting for the email subject line to tell me. (I want to upvote Homo studentsis but I'm out of votes... too much fun stuff on this thread already today.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we need to pick up the pace, no way people keep posting enough to catch up once awards are announced. The results showed up around page 35 last year and was followed by results and then later reviewer sheet scores. I think we're making good progress.

Physwimic Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 I can't believe that the NSF (although this goes for most grad programs in general) can't give us a specific release date for results. I also don't understand why they give themselves 6 hours to upload the results. You would think they could write a program just to post the results in under an hour. Finally, how do they not post the score reports at the same time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dynamom Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Wow, this is good entertainment. All the anticipation of childbirth with none of the physical pain (mental anguish about the same). I can't believe that the NSF (although this goes for most grad programs in general) can't give us a specific release date for results. I also don't understand why they give themselves 6 hours to upload the results. You would think they could write a program just to post the results in under an hour. Finally, how do they not post the score reports at the same time? THAT would be a good proposal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessica Collins Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 I don't know about anyone else, but I have two assignments due tomorrow--going to my department head, neither of which I can focus on--and have an experiment to run that will take me ~10 hours that I need to be semi-conscious to perform. If NSF really IS trolling, ha ha, can you please just shoot me a quick email so I can go to sleep and NOT get fired tomorrow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
