maath805 Posted March 29, 2013 Posted March 29, 2013 anyone else have a midterm due tomorrow? that's only 70% done?
123infinity Posted March 29, 2013 Posted March 29, 2013 I have office hours at 9am, and my students have homework due tomorrow so I can't even cancel.
anxiousanthro Posted March 29, 2013 Posted March 29, 2013 anyone else have a midterm due tomorrow? that's only 70% done? your midterm is getting less done (75-->70) as time passes
123infinity Posted March 29, 2013 Posted March 29, 2013 Ugh I hate to be this person, but did the advisory say 5am last year too?
alorenzo175 Posted March 29, 2013 Posted March 29, 2013 This song seems appropriate http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i6e9dB3CkVI
SeaOtterNerd Posted March 29, 2013 Posted March 29, 2013 Ugh I hate to be this person, but did the advisory say 5am last year too? Based on earlier posts, it sounds like it was exactly the same as the one we're seeing right now. Since this is my first year applying, though, I can't confirm that for sure. Also, I just got an e-mail from Amazon.com and completely freaked out until I saw the sender.
giles Posted March 29, 2013 Posted March 29, 2013 They're up. Anddd, I got HM. Good luck to everyone else!
threnagyn Posted March 29, 2013 Posted March 29, 2013 Honorable Mention.... Good luck everyone and stay positive.
Weitz Posted March 29, 2013 Posted March 29, 2013 Got it, second year applying. For what it's worth, I didn't even get an HM last year and was super friggin depressed. Don't let not getting an HM stop any of you from reapplying. budgie 1
123infinity Posted March 29, 2013 Posted March 29, 2013 I didn't get it again. Same comments as last year. Excellent Broader Impact. Very good on Proposal. I got the same negative comment: "The applicant's academic background is not competitive within the given applicant pool" Sigh. I really thought grades weren't supposed to matter anymore. Oh well. Congrats to everyone who got it!!
Trantorian Posted March 29, 2013 Posted March 29, 2013 Well, to make the rest of you feel better, didn't get it. VG/E G/G G/G I think the main thing was my lack of publications... The first guy doesn't seem to mind, the middle guy doesn't seem to mind that either but.. doesn't have any advice either way, basically tells me to continue my efforts, and the last guy didn't think my application provides evidence of my ability to independently solve problems or communicate my research. :/ Could be worse; hopefully, I will have a better application next year because of the research I'm doing this year! Congratulations to the new fellows/HM'ers!
franks98 Posted March 29, 2013 Posted March 29, 2013 E/E G/G E/E And a fucking HM. Damn that pisses me off. Oh well, another year of TA'n'. Congrats to all awardees and HMs!
fe3lg0odhit Posted March 29, 2013 Posted March 29, 2013 Did anyone else have FOUR sets of reviews? IM/BI: VG/E VG/E VG/VG E/VG Honorable Mention
guttata Posted March 29, 2013 Posted March 29, 2013 Congrats to all who got it. Man, some things seem to be really arbitrary - VG/E and G/G, and didn't get a 3rd review. Ah well, one more shot...
lovelylarvae Posted March 29, 2013 Posted March 29, 2013 Does anyone know how long it usually takes after the posting of the list for them to send around the emails?
Scrabble2 Posted March 29, 2013 Posted March 29, 2013 I also had a fourth review, and managed to be offered the award. Does anyone know when they give a fourth review? 1. E/E 2. VG/E 3. F/F 4. E/E I applied from a small field, with the second reviewer noting that "people in his field" seem to like the proposal. The third reviewer hated it and I imagine was not in my field either. The other three seemed to have read it carefully and given thoughtful comments. Extremely lucky that my application wasn't ended by the F/F. Shows how random this process can be, unfortunately.
synorg Posted March 29, 2013 Posted March 29, 2013 got it. first time applying, but also a first year grad student. E/E E/E VG/Epretty surprised since i didn't have publications. congrats/good luck to everyone. now if i can somehow fall asleep before having to go to the airport in two hours...
schoolpsych_hopeful Posted March 29, 2013 Posted March 29, 2013 Award offered! This is a big surprise, I only got through two reviewers last year. E/E VG/VG VG/E
hobokennojokin Posted March 29, 2013 Posted March 29, 2013 Honorable mention. Shoul I i be happy or sad about this? Torn up about it but I do have a year of eligibility left.
