Munashi Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 (edited) Honorable Mention. E/E, VG/E, VG/E Good, but not good enough. First year grad, first time applying. Maybe next year! Congrats to the awardees. Note: Reviews were all positive. Not sure how to improve it for next year, but I'll try.

rlb1au Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 (edited) As expected I didn't get it. My proposal and my future goals are really disconnected. The proposal I submitted was the only one I had but it was for a project I don't intend to pursue in graduate school and it really showed through to the committee. That's ok. Next year I will actually have an advisor and a research path that I can match up with my goals and present a complete application. Well, I guess that seals my decision on where to attend grad school though. I'll be going to the only school I am fully funded at! Overall I am not as sad as I thought I'd be. I guess I kinda knew I wasn't going to get it. Edited March 31, 2015 by rlb1au Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dubblebubble898 Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 how do you know if you got it or not? My final status says: not recommended, so does that mean I didn't get it? But I got VG/VG, E/E, E/VG and I'm an undergrad senior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
commodork Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Undergrad senior, honorable mention here. VG/VG E/VG E/VG. Pleasantly surprised, all in all. Got some great feedback. Looking forward to applying again next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burr Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 (edited) Nope here. F/G, VG/VG, E/E. One very skeptical review, one rather generic (copy-pasting from my CV), one very enthusiastic. One the one hand, I'm glad my plans for the coming year aren't being turned upside down, on the other, ouch. Still, my skeptical reviewer managed to use the word "problematic" three times in one paragraph. I'm vary of such people. Thankfully, my project is one that I can and will work on in my own time, and that does not require funding to get rolling, just public participation.

Spaghettyohz Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 E/E E/VG E/E with an honorable mention and no substantial feedback about what could be improved. /sigh. Without this level of funding, it's no grad school for me this year. Probably done with this whole process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chemil5000 Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 No go =[ VG/E E/E VG/VG at least what they said was a confidence boost (just not their final decision jeje) u_u but as the wise Groucho Marxs once said...."Eh. I don't want to belong to any club that would accept people like me as a member" jeje congratulations to everyone who won =] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BovaFett Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 VG/E, VG/E, VG/E - No award, no HM. Last possible year to apply. Was told by one reviewer that it was dissapointing that I hadn't made more significant research progress during my first year of grad school. Sad, because I neglected to mention that I changed groups and took two semesters of 16 credit hours :/ Ohwell, congratulations to everyone else!

Monochrome Spring Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Everyone in my program except me got it. And everyone told me I had a stronger application and had my shit together better.

arrxing Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Does anyone know what QC1 means? One reviewer wrote "This applicant presents a relatively strong case, which is borderline QC1." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katsharki3 Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Yeah, I didn't get it either, which quite frankly I definitely expected. I thought my project was good, but my proposal definitely wasn't cohesive...I've never done something like this before, as I'm a senior undergrad. On the plus side, I got a lot of really great reviews (which actually surprised me) and they all seemed to think my project idea was good (if not fully put together)! A bit of a mixed bag on what the three reviewers thought about my broader impacts/outreach for my personal statement. I don't have a lot of traditional teaching experience, but have done an outreach internship and worked as a program leader for my university's stranding program, but some reviewers didn't seem to think that was enough. Ah well. That's certainly something I can work on this summer and while I'm in grad school with my TAship and all. All in all, I'm pleased with the reviews I got back, and definitely eager to redefine my focus once I'm at grad school and hopefully get 2 more chances to apply for it again!

expandyourmind Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 i'm in a masters program so this was technically my last year to apply. i forgot about the deadline 3 days before (my LOR hated me hahah) but i got G/G E/E E/E writing it by myself. i think if i had an advisor to work with (i'm overseas) i could have done a lot better, but i'm pretty proud of myself for writing up a proposal like this. they were all very excited i just had one reviewer that wanted more nit picky details that i should have provided. on to the next one!
