Homo studentsis Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 "I plan to study the estimated cost (in lost productivity, life-span reductions due to stress, etc) the NSF GRFP program causes each year by failing to disclose an official announcement date." It would be worthwhile to specifically look at the lost return on investment for funded NSF fellows due to premature death. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xavi6 Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 According to grad cafe, in 2011 the list was posted around 1:30. In 2010 it was posted around 12:50....which would be in ten minutes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anthro.fish Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 I remember last year - it took me 10 to 15 minutes (of constant retrying) to pull up the results list on Fastlane once they were posted - because of the massive bombardment by applicants . . . all the while people were posting acceptances, etc. on this thread. Madness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djperry Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 To those of you who are actually refreshing fastlane, my hat's off to you. It'd be funny if all of us were just refreshing this thread and we missed it by 30 minutes or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaywalker Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Every time I click on a new page of this thread, another page is added on by all of the users posting!!! I love how crazy this is...reminds me of waiting for the ball to drop on New Years! I'm almost 100% sure I'm not winning anything from NSF, but the excitement from this message board is still so palpable. Best of luck to you all! anthro.fish 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
withoutwords Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Do you all think this is for real, it seems to me pretty surprising that everyone is waiting this out, when they haven't mentioned yet about this be grfp related. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
