Xavi6 Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 Sorry Elunia, but it sounds like there were some constructive comments to help you for the May deadline. Has anyone else heard?
Nrrrdgrrrl Posted February 14, 2014 Author Posted February 14, 2014 Nope. Nothing yet. What time did the email come in, Elunia? Wenner-Gren gives great comments! I was rejected once last year, but the comments the reviewers give were absolutely incredible in helping me re-write.
elunia Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 It arrive at 11:30 AM. My main issue is I can't know what my study sites/populations are until I arrive in person at the collections in China (no central database, no way to know for sure what's there without literally walking through the collection room). So there won't be any point in applying againin May, since I won't be in China till June. Good luck everyone!
medler Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 My advisor just received an email that I made it through to the second round; however, I still have not received the email myself though we're on the same email system.

Congrats! According to the website, about 33% of second-round applicants are awarded...so you have a good shot! Can you tell us a little about your project? I haven't heard a damn thing!
padthai234 Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 just got an email about passing the first round
Nrrrdgrrrl Posted February 14, 2014 Author Posted February 14, 2014 just got an email about passing the first round Congrats! I still have nothing...UGH!
as72 Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 Anyone with gmail should check their spam folder. You might find it there. annon123 1
Nrrrdgrrrl Posted February 14, 2014 Author Posted February 14, 2014 Just got the green light into round two...COMMENCE CELEBRATION!
far_to_go Posted February 15, 2014 Posted February 15, 2014 I also got the email notification that I've advanced to round 2. This is a re-submission for me, so I'm hoping that I'll be luckier than I was the first time around! Good luck to everyone else!

This is a re-submission for me, so I'm hoping that I'll be luckier than I was the first time around! Good luck to everyone else! It's a resubmission for me, as well. Their reviews are very helpful, and I think they really like to reward to continued effort. So, here's hoping!
annon123 Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 hi all: i applied but have heard nothing of first round status. rather than bug the admins, is there a way to log back into your application to check status? any additional insights? Thanks!
annon123 Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 ack: nevermind. successfully fished from spam folder
onyxguenhwyvar Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 Geeze, I'm not sure I would have figured out the response was in the spam folder (or that it had even come in) without you guys! Thanks for this thread!
Nrrrdgrrrl Posted February 25, 2014 Author Posted February 25, 2014 My advisor, other committee members, and DGS are asking for updates on this every time I see any of them...waiting for final news is painful...and I don't imagine we'll hear anything until mid-April at the earliest...
Nrrrdgrrrl Posted March 4, 2014 Author Posted March 4, 2014 So, because I'm a weirdo, here are some stats about award notification in years past: March 18, 2013: Request for revised budget from one applicant April 8, 2013/April 9, 2012/April 6, 2011/April 12, 2010: Notification (both rejections and "no need to reapply" emails) So, it looked like the first week or two of April for new information! It is interesting to note that official notification of awards comes in snail mail...but people get notified beforehand by email that they need not reapply. My comp/qual exams start Monday, so I have plenty to worry about other than W-G, but still.... lemepris 1
jefferson5436 Posted March 5, 2014 Posted March 5, 2014 New to the forum. I'm also anxious to hear back! After clearing the first round I guess now it's just time to think happy thoughts. Best of luck to everybody
blue_mango Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 All the best on your comps/quals, Nrrrdgrrrl! Totally rooting for you.
Nrrrdgrrrl Posted March 10, 2014 Author Posted March 10, 2014 Thank you! T minus 2 hours, 10 minutes!
Nrrrdgrrrl Posted March 16, 2014 Author Posted March 16, 2014 Has anyone else gotten some traffic from across the US on their academia.edu pages? I'd like to think that this means my reviewers have my proposal, and are doing their research on me....what do you guys think?
Nrrrdgrrrl Posted March 31, 2014 Author Posted March 31, 2014 I'm going to guess, based on previous years, that we might not hear until April 7th. 3 of the last 4 years have had Monday notifications. Guys, that's one week from today, and apparently I'm the only one freaking out here!!! lemepris 1
onyxguenhwyvar Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 Nope. You're definitely not the only one. My guess was that it would be sometime next week as well at the earliest.
Nrrrdgrrrl Posted March 31, 2014 Author Posted March 31, 2014 In the past few years, it has been the first or second Monday of April, or the second Wednesday. I'm gunning for the 7th, if not sooner. I just want to know!
medler Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 I agree with both of you! I'm waiting on NSF (bio anth) and Wenner Gren, and the wait is driving me crazy. We should know for sure about Wenner Gren within three weeks (they seemed a little late with the first round notifications, so I'm not holding my breath for next week). How did your comps defense go, Nrrdgrrl?
