living_in_paradise Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 I received a fellowship offer from SSRC via email on Wednesday afternoon, as did someone else at my university. So there were definitely mutliple emails that went out on Wednesday, but I have no idea if that's the whole batch of acceptances (the email said that they had made 80 offers in total). We're supposed to accept or decline the fellowship by May 1, so there's a possibility that additional offers will go out after that date. Hope that helps, and best of luck to everyone.

seagull Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Hi all, I've been following the conversation here ---- I have not heard anything so far, having not received either an envelope or an email. It looks as tho' people have had good news on Wednesday and Friday last week. Anyone with any experience/ knowledge care to speculate on whether the rest of us still have a chance? Maybe I'm being too optimistic to think that it might take them a few days to send out 80 mails! Good luck to all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

living_in_paradise Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 like - what happened? just emailed them and tried to reach anthony by phone (no luck). Did they contact you or did you contact them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
architect81 Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 They emailed me. In his second email he addressed me by the wrong name. Seems as though they are terribly confused and don't know who is who. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papertiger31 Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 If he addressed you by the wrong name in the second email, then maybe that one was the mistake? Hope you got Anthony on the line to hash this out. So sorry, architect81. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
living_in_paradise Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Wow. Not what I would expect from the SSRC. That's so devastating. Hope you're doing ok. My fear is that more of us might be in the same boat. I'll try to get some clarification from them this afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
architect81 Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Yeah, I called and it seems as though the mistake is real. Calling me by the wrong name was also a mistake, apparently but a nice icing on the cake to this really upsetting news. Hopefully I was the only person that they made this mistake with.

living_in_paradise Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Just got off the phone with Anthony. Apparently mine was a real offer, which is heartening. He seemed to think that this was an isolated problem (not that that's any comfort to you, architect81). I really hope it is, because I would hate for this to happen to anyone else.
