Josh70 Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 I've become such a nervous wreck in the span of a week over this... I think we all have, I was pretty good about not worrying about this until this week and now today I can barely get anything done in the lab. Char123 1

HockeyNerd Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 Is NSF GRFP ever awarded on the weekend, or in other words will I or will I not be able to get a good nights sleep tomorrow?
BioBum Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 I don't know about the rest of you all, but my hope is dwindling. loginofpscl 1
jmu Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 If it doesn't happen tonight, so what? Enjoy the weekend and hope for some time next week. The NSF is several months behind with other awards, it's amazing that the GRFP is even happening relatively on time. Monochrome Spring 1

null0000000000000000 Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 (edited) Well, that was depressing to look at as a computer architecture (CS) focus. Everyone I know in my area applied, and it seems particularly low :/ Edited March 27, 2014 by RamblinFirefox

nsf_weiner Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 Actually, hate to tell you this, but I called NSF and they said that anyone mistakeningly told that they were accepted was actually meant to be told they were DQed, in advance of the accept/HM/deny notifications coming out soon. Sorry. I'll expect you'll be receiving a phone call about it shortly. LOL, All i know if that I have a acceptance notification and you all do not ( besides a select few) They prolly told you that to spare your feelings until the bulk of the notifications are released Think about it, they want to retain the really good applicants because the more days that pass, we could accept other fellowships so to all who disliked keep hating BioBum, Char123, dcampos6398 and 13 others 2 14

I know we're scientists and not English majors, but I'd like to think the selection committee would look more favorably upon those who have a better grasp on basic punctuation. I call BS!
