bendmorris Posted April 18, 2013 Posted April 18, 2013 Just got a rejection e-mail. Good luck to everyone else.
bluebla Posted April 18, 2013 Posted April 18, 2013 Curious about this as well... waiting to send official letter. Although, CSGF has drawbacks: law practicum and, esp, program of study... Were you offered CSGF this morning too?
hdx2011 Posted April 19, 2013 Posted April 19, 2013 How many of us are there who still haven't heard anything (I am one)? Have they given any final deadlines for notifications yet?
jddoubleu Posted April 19, 2013 Posted April 19, 2013 Hi, I also have not heard anything yet. Were there any new notifications today?
marty3 Posted April 19, 2013 Posted April 19, 2013 I, too, haven't heard back yet. I'm not sure what to think this means. My guess is that the winners have been notified by now and the rest of us are on some sort of wait list and will find out in the next week or later. I'm curious to know how long people have to accept/decline the offer. I would assume a week, or two, or three? I figure the late notification is a good thing, regardless. We must be close to winning if we haven't been rejected yet, right? Since I haven't started grad school yet I can apply next year too, but I really don't want to reapply!
ema Posted April 19, 2013 Posted April 19, 2013 I'm also still waiting. I agree that we must be on some kind of waitlist but I wish they would just tell us something!
buffalowizard Posted April 19, 2013 Posted April 19, 2013 I'm also waiting. Seems like a rather large waitlist if there are so many of us posting here...
ema Posted April 19, 2013 Posted April 19, 2013 True. But if we don't have a chance, why not just tell us? My labmate got a rejection email a few days ago.
marty3 Posted April 19, 2013 Posted April 19, 2013 I agree that there are a lot of us still out there who haven't heard. Still, I could also see them keeping around 20, or even more, people waitlisted if there are 20 winners. But hey, we weren't included in what was at least 2 rounds of rejection emails.
Grey28 Posted April 19, 2013 Posted April 19, 2013 Hi guys, I'm posting on behalf of my husband, he just got the award call today. He is a first year grad student in Biophysics. It's super frusturating not to hear anything so I just wanted to put it out there that there is still hope, it seems like they are calling awardees slowly. I don't have details about how long he has to accept the offer but I will post when I hear more details.
bluebla Posted April 19, 2013 Posted April 19, 2013 He has to respond by April 26th Thanks for the info & congrats to your husband

I'm also waiting eagerly to hear back... I emailed the coordinator on Wednesday to update my application and she said, "I am hoping to send out notifications within the next day or two!" Which sounds like she will tell both the remaining sucessful and unsucessful applicants soon, and not drag it out for weeks. It looks like, however, I'm not going to get a notification before next week.... It's hard to discern whats going on at her end....

I had no idea we were allowed to do that! I guess it gives me another excuse to call
jon.e Posted April 20, 2013 Posted April 20, 2013 Did you update your app with new publications or something? I had no idea we were allowed to do that! I guess it gives me another excuse to call Yeah pub went from 'in preparation for submission' to 'submitted' haha. Also she wanted me to let her know 'asap' if I got any other fellowships, and I got the nsf last week... doesn't seem like it has hurried my decision for the csgf yet though. Did anyone else have her urging them to tell her about other fellowships? I assume she was asking because of the ndseg but it's hard to get a good read...
boltzmann Posted April 22, 2013 Posted April 22, 2013 has anyone heard anything more? I called today but had to leave a message and would really like to know if anyone has any new news.... thanks!
jon.e Posted April 22, 2013 Posted April 22, 2013 She responded to an email I had, and it doesn't sound too bright for us that haven't heard: "Honestly, this is quite a weird year for us and I am not sure we will be offering anymore fellowships at this point. Although we may be. I know this is a super vague answer and I am so sorry for that. I can't imagine how frustrating this must be for you and for that I feel absolutely terrible."

Oh..that sucks, but it's actually a bit relieving to give up..
jon.e Posted April 22, 2013 Posted April 22, 2013 Oh..that sucks, but it's actually a bit relieving to give up.. That would be true but I don't think that I can lose hope (although I wish I could) until I get the official rejection.
bluebla Posted April 23, 2013 Posted April 23, 2013 That would be true but I don't think that I can lose hope (although I wish I could) until I get the official rejection. Yeah, same -- I'm all talk.
boltzmann Posted April 23, 2013 Posted April 23, 2013 thanks for the update! hopefully we'll at least hear something soon. does anyone know if there is a waitlist for this fellowship?
marty3 Posted April 23, 2013 Posted April 23, 2013 According to last year's thread, rejections came out on April 12, and winners had to accept by April 13. My guess is they're just waiting for all the winners to accept before sending out the final wave of rejections, and all winners accepted a little early. Since Grey28's husband has to respond by April 26, and given last year's similar timeline, I suspect we'll hear towards the end of the week. Let's see what happens! Another interesting fact from last year's thread is that two versions of the rejection email went out. One version included the line "We were very impressed with your credentials and saw much promise in your application and we strongly encourage you to reapply next year provided you remain eligible." This was assumed to be some sort of unofficial honorable mention by the posters. There was no mention of any waitlist, but my guess is if there were, these "honorable mention" winners would have been on it.

Csgf@ or directly to Lindsey?
jon.e Posted April 23, 2013 Posted April 23, 2013 Can I ask what email you sent it to? Csgf@ or directly to Lindsey? Originally I sent it to csgf@ but Lindsey responded from her email, and then proceeded from there.
