hawa Posted July 28, 2013 Posted July 28, 2013 I received my notification last year on September 10, from the F-Hays contact person at my university. The deadline last year was 14 June so about ten days later, which may have an effect on notifications. My guess is no earlier than first week in September, but that is still just a guess. Good luck getting through August!
Hoppi Posted August 11, 2013 Posted August 11, 2013 Ugh. I hate the waiting. *sigh* Yes, this is going to be a long, long month.
Elli389 Posted August 13, 2013 Posted August 13, 2013 Thanks for the solidarity, Hoppi. Of course you know that I was secretly hoping someone would show up here and say "Results will be announced Monday!" or something equally unlikely.
Hoppi Posted August 15, 2013 Posted August 15, 2013 I know! I also come here hoping to find that someone will have posted some news either from their school administrator or from Washington about when the results will be announced.
JustChill Posted August 15, 2013 Posted August 15, 2013 I know! I also come here hoping to find that someone will have posted some news either from their school administrator or from Washington about when the results will be announced. Same here!
Elli389 Posted August 27, 2013 Posted August 27, 2013 Well, I looked back at the thread from last year and notifications went out to campus reps on September 7th, which was a Friday. So, might it be safe to predict notifications next Friday, September 6th? Alternatively, doesn't anyone have concrete information about notifications??? There are sure a lot of people keeping an eye on this thread...
hawa Posted August 27, 2013 Posted August 27, 2013 I asked my F-Hays contact person and she said she was told September but did not receive a particular date. As someone who applied last year and ended up an Alternate I can say that people were notified starting Sept. 7 but I did not receive word until Sept. 10. Also the application deadline last year was about 10 days later, so the decisions could be handed down earlier.
Elli389 Posted August 27, 2013 Posted August 27, 2013 Yikes! Someone posted this recently on Academic Jobs Wiki (http://academicjobs.wikia.com/wiki/Dissertation_Fellowships_2013-14): "I just received an email from my program coordinator saying that all award winners at our institution would be notified by this Friday (8/30/13). Hopefully that helps!"
Hoppi Posted August 28, 2013 Posted August 28, 2013 Only "all award winners" will be notified first? You would think that universities would let everybody know at least on the same day, unless they also just get a list of award winners from the DOE. Maybe I'm reading too much into it.
Elli389 Posted August 28, 2013 Posted August 28, 2013 If I remember correctly from last year's discussion, the campus reps get all the results on the same day (accepted, rejected, and alternates).
Elli389 Posted August 30, 2013 Posted August 30, 2013 (edited) Holiday weekend = bad timing for this, huh? Most administrative offices at my uni close early on Friday before holidays. This may mean a wait until Tuesday... (assuming that today is actually the day, of course) (edited only to correct typo!) Edited August 30, 2013 by Elli389
Elli389 Posted September 3, 2013 Posted September 3, 2013 FYI: I contacted my campus rep; this morning, she was informed that notifications will be sent out "in the next week or two."
Hoppi Posted September 4, 2013 Posted September 4, 2013 Thanks, Elli389. At least we know that the wait will be over by the end of next week.
Elli389 Posted September 6, 2013 Posted September 6, 2013 (edited) I suppose it's time to give up hope for notifications this week? Edited September 6, 2013 by Elli389
Elli389 Posted September 9, 2013 Posted September 9, 2013 I think it must be the week. But I'm guessing it might not be until Friday - they sent out notices on Friday last year, anyways. Why Friday? Perhaps this is so people can't start calling them to ask questions right away?
Elli389 Posted September 10, 2013 Posted September 10, 2013 Me too! Which is why I've been looking here way too often... You'd think that among all of these scores of people that are also checking in here, someone would have a shred of information for us?
hawa Posted September 10, 2013 Posted September 10, 2013 I checked with my rep again today; she said she's received no new information. The only other option is to contact F-Hays directly. It can't be long at this point since grants go active Oct. 1.
haysdays Posted September 13, 2013 Posted September 13, 2013 I see that lots of people are looking, but it is awfully quiet...it's Friday the 13th and we wait and we wonder...hurry up!!!!!!!!!
Elli389 Posted September 13, 2013 Posted September 13, 2013 Yeah, hurry up already! Anyone remember what time of day notifications went out last year???
eec Posted September 13, 2013 Posted September 13, 2013 (edited) our contact at my university just wrote me back. no word yet. oh, the agony of waiting! looks like we're not going to find out anything this week either, huh? Edited September 13, 2013 by eec
JustChill Posted September 16, 2013 Posted September 16, 2013 Wtf is taking these bastards so long this year?
Elli389 Posted September 16, 2013 Posted September 16, 2013 Thank you JustChill for expressing my own sentiments so eloquently.
