MJGonzo Posted April 14, 2014 Posted April 14, 2014 Well, if we're going to nerd out over it, I would like to offer the Bene Gesserit litany against fear: I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.
padthai234 Posted April 14, 2014 Posted April 14, 2014 seriously... is it possible they wont tell us today?
Nrrrdgrrrl Posted April 14, 2014 Author Posted April 14, 2014 seriously... is it possible they wont tell us today? Technically, according to the website and round 2 letters, we could hear as late as mid-June. Although they generally have gotten results back before the next deadline, they leave themselves plenty of room for that to NOT happen. I'm praying this isn't one of those times...
Nrrrdgrrrl Posted April 14, 2014 Author Posted April 14, 2014 Should we abandon all hope and just go live real life?
padthai234 Posted April 14, 2014 Posted April 14, 2014 Someone should email and ask if they plan to deliver results before the next round...

Nrrrdgrrrl Posted April 14, 2014 Author Posted April 14, 2014 Someone should email and ask if they plan to deliver results before the next round... Can we ask them... Mumstheword 1
Nrrrdgrrrl Posted April 14, 2014 Author Posted April 14, 2014 Because I can't do anything else with today, clearly...
MJGonzo Posted April 14, 2014 Posted April 14, 2014 Can we ask them... I really wish Liz Lemon would speak to WG on our behalf. I'm afraid to call, since the first letter said not to.
_ginger_ Posted April 14, 2014 Posted April 14, 2014 You could create a new, anonymous email account to email them from, but I'm not sure if they'd respond to that.
Nrrrdgrrrl Posted April 15, 2014 Author Posted April 15, 2014 You could create a new, anonymous email account to email them from, but I'm not sure if they'd respond to that. I doubt it. I wonder if they have any idea what they put us through... I'm beginning to feel like this is an unhealthy relationship. But, you know, all of this agony will be forgotten in a second when people start getting money!
far_to_go Posted April 15, 2014 Posted April 15, 2014 I am feeling strongly ambivalent about this one. I both want to know and don't want to know whether I got it. It's like, until I get the e-mail, the Wenner-Gren is both alive and dead to me. I have Schrodinger's anxiety.
Nrrrdgrrrl Posted April 15, 2014 Author Posted April 15, 2014 But if we need to reapply, every day matters!!!
Konstantin Posted April 15, 2014 Posted April 15, 2014 Hey how do you guys insert GIFs into your posts?
Nrrrdgrrrl Posted April 15, 2014 Author Posted April 15, 2014 Magic. Or, find the one you want and copy image, then paste. Very easy! Konstantin 1
moraurora Posted April 15, 2014 Posted April 15, 2014 ok this might a little bit paranoid, but i just re-read that first round notification letter (february 14th). it says that they would be in touch with us in three to four months. i havent paid attention to this before, thinking that they would let us know anyways in two months. but if they mean what they wrote, then we won't be hearing back before may 15th. is this what they usually say in first-round letters? any ideas?

I don't know about what they said last time, but last year they announced first round February 7, and second round April 8. Following that model, we could find out today...
far_to_go Posted April 15, 2014 Posted April 15, 2014 For what it's worth, I applied for the May 1 2013 deadline, got notified that I'd passed the first round on August 1, and got the rejection e-mail on Oct 10.

It is a little paranoid, but it is technically possible. However, in the past, final notifications are out before the next deadline...hopefully they stick to that pattern!
Nrrrdgrrrl Posted April 15, 2014 Author Posted April 15, 2014 FYI: some brave person on another forum emailed W-G...so keep on eye here too: http://academicjobs.wikia.com/wiki/Dissertation_Fellowships_2014-2015
