ldalal@Duke Posted February 15, 2012 Author Posted February 15, 2012 Got a 1st round notification this morning. Won't know anything else until may/june
Jigsaw4273 Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 made it to round two. Good luck everyone!
Kexin Renlei Posted March 9, 2012 Posted March 9, 2012 They're checking round 2's for compliance now. You get an email if there's a problem. Jigsaw4273 1
whoopsie Posted March 31, 2012 Posted March 31, 2012 Heh, a friend just told me about this thread. Unfortunately, I had some mathematical errors in my budget so I heard from them in March. Embarassing!
Kexin Renlei Posted April 4, 2012 Posted April 4, 2012 Heh, a friend just told me about this thread. Unfortunately, I had some mathematical errors in my budget so I heard from them in March. Embarassing! I hear that might be a good sign. Personally I haven't had any email about my budget unfortunately. Where is everyone?? Please come spread info around! Specifically, anyone else get a budget email that didn't have math errors?
Lizzle Posted April 5, 2012 Posted April 5, 2012 Anyone else checking their email every 10 minutes for news from the WG folks? We should be getting close to notification time...
Kexin Renlei Posted April 6, 2012 Posted April 6, 2012 Anyone else checking their email every 10 minutes for news from the WG folks? We should be getting close to notification time... Yup. Started last night at midnight, I'm afraid
Lizzle Posted April 6, 2012 Posted April 6, 2012 Yeah, so it looks like they started letting folks know last year on April 6th and the year before it was the 12th. I know these dates are pretty meaningless, except as general guidelines for the notification window, but the sooner the better - esp. for folks who have to resubmit! I think I might disable my internet for large chunks of time today...and hide my iphone...maybe I should just call it a day already go back to sleep Good luck, everyone!
whoopsie Posted April 6, 2012 Posted April 6, 2012 Oh I had no idea that they'd be notifying people so soon! How excruciating. I thought we'd be safe for another few weeks.
Jigsaw4273 Posted April 6, 2012 Posted April 6, 2012 Yup. Started last night at midnight, I'm afraid what started last night? notifications of those who recieved a grant?
Kexin Renlei Posted April 6, 2012 Posted April 6, 2012 what started last night? notifications of those who recieved a grant? Nono! I unfortunately started checking my email constantly the night before at midnight. I haven't heard of any notifications good or bad yet.
Kexin Renlei Posted April 9, 2012 Posted April 9, 2012 Emails requesting more information on your budget went out this morning. If you didn't get one, does that mean you're not being considered anymore?
gifthorse Posted April 9, 2012 Posted April 9, 2012 I received a request for budget information this morning. I can think of three ways to interpret it (from best to worst): (1) WG is ready to fund you, but it wants to know if it can lay some of the cost to other organizations. (2) WG has narrowed down their candidates a second time. While not all of us in this smaller group will receive funding, WG would like additional information from us. (3) WG send this email to everyone who made it past the preliminary review they completed (and notified us about) several months ago. The email indicates nothing about our rank among the second round group. Can anyone get some intel about this from other people in their program?
Kexin Renlei Posted April 9, 2012 Posted April 9, 2012 Gifthorse's #3 option isn't possible - I made it to the second round in January but didn't get the email today. I guess their #1 and #2 are possible. Trying to decide whether to give up hope now. Has anyone ever received a W-G after NOT getting this budget update email? If I knew I should give up now then at least I could get on with my life and stop stressing...
thirstyscholar Posted April 9, 2012 Posted April 9, 2012 I got my promising email at 1:54 PM today. If others received emails in the morning, at least we know not all emails are sent out at the exact same moment.
Celeste Stein Posted April 9, 2012 Posted April 9, 2012 I got the budget email this morning. At the end of the email, it says, "there's no need to reapply for the next deadline." I assume that means I was awarded funding, but for an unknown amount. I hope???
ldalal@Duke Posted April 10, 2012 Author Posted April 10, 2012 did this e-mail come from "Funding Decision"? Have any explicit 2nd round rejections gone out yet?
Jigsaw4273 Posted April 10, 2012 Posted April 10, 2012 Recieved my rejection this morning w/ feedback. Congrats to the recipients...i am off to reapply
Kexin Renlei Posted April 10, 2012 Posted April 10, 2012 ...aaaand rejected. Congrats to all you awardees!
Lizzle Posted April 11, 2012 Posted April 11, 2012 Congrats to everyone who got the WG! I was not one of the lucky few, but I'm happy with the feedback I received and am crossing my fingers for better luck next time
