cay16754 Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 I just called the office. Notifications are going out either today or tomorrow. anacron 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trantorian Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 I just want to know.. I mean, my advisor is well-funded enough that I don't have to worry (unless some random act of craziness happens, which is always possible), but it would have been so awesome to get this for the DoE networking..

bluebla Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 I haven't heard anything either...and I have to respond to NDSEG by tomorrow. Oh wow, that's rough. I have no such time limit (I was only eligible for DOE out of the big fellowships because I have a masters), so I can imagine you're 10x as antsy as I am..

bluebla Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 (edited) Eh, I'll just accept NDSEG tomorrow if I haven't heard anything from CSGF. The CSGF would be amazing but I've got guaranteed funding either way. So I'm not all that antsy. What field are you? Computational Biology / Biophysics. I'm not super worried about funding just yet because I'm on a NSF training grant through the next year, but the DOE would have been *amazing* for the resources + practicum. Though, of course guaranteed funding for the next 4 years vs. 1 year is a big upgrade... Oh well, good luck to both of us Edited April 16, 2013 by bluebla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluebla Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 By the way, people who got it: (1) Congrats!!! (2) Did they give you any date / deadline by which you had to accept / reject? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

throwaway123 Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 (edited) FYI -- called and they are being held up by budget delay... hopefully responses will go out today (before NDSEG deadline...) but no promises...

bendmorris Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 "Budget delay" - yet they've sent out acceptances and rejections already, so I wonder what that means for those of us who haven't heard yet. I had given up when I didn't get a call, but after I didn't get a rejection either, I got hopeful again. Just let me down already so I can get back to work!

Called NDSEG and they were unwilling to grant extension... comp bio... nsf training grant... mit? Berkeley, actually But good try! I guess I tricked you a little bit because I originally came into grad school wanting to study mechanics / bio-E, and that's what the grant is in. They let me stay on it even though I picked a comp bio thesis topic as long as I do one "substantial" mechanics project for the coming year. Being free of that restriction (and not having to deal with not-so-kind administrators...though I suppose I can't blame them) is another reason getting CSGF would be awesome. Ack, the more I think about it, the more I realize it's my dream fellowship. In other news, I think this "waitlist" isn't terribly long. They guessed my name through my voice when I called just now, so I guess I'm the only girl...? Edited April 17, 2013 by bluebla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ema Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 (edited) I've also heard nothing from both DOE and NDSEG (since the weird waitlist email). It's driving me a little crazy! P.S. I'm also a girl (different area though?) :] Edited April 17, 2013 by ema Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ema Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 I never called since I've been getting the info from you kind folks on gradcafe (I figure they're not going to tell me anything new). I'd like to think that there are very few of us because, assuming whatever budget thing they're waiting on goes as planned, we are on the shortlist to receive the award! Although the more likely scenario is that they're just cruelly getting my hopes up before letting me down. And I thought the obsessively-refreshing-gradcafe part of my life was over last spring...

buffalowizard Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Maybe it was caller ID (or at least some clue as to what part of the country you're calling from based on phone number)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluebla Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Maybe it was caller ID (or at least some clue as to what part of the country you're calling from based on phone number)? Maybe...though I call from my cell, which has the area code of where I grew up (NYC) vs. where I am now (CA). But they *do* know my cell number from my application, so that could be it.

bluebla Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 NDSEG-ers, did you hear back? I figure you guys are first priority since you have another deadline.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bendmorris Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 I just looked at my application and realized to my horror that I had made a typo in entering my phone number! Still haven't heard anything either way. I just called Krell to correct that, and asked about notifications - she said they've been delayed and are trying to get notifications out "within the next couple days." So it's still possible some of us might not hear back right away. This has not been a good day for my nerves! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluebla Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Just got a call this morning. Got offered the CSGF! Congrats! Can you retract the NDSEG acceptance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throwaway123 Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Congrats! Can you retract the NDSEG acceptance? Curious about this as well... waiting to send official letter. Although, CSGF has drawbacks: law practicum and, esp, program of study... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
